The new News Ticker causes my browser to explode

Metal Man · 10-06-2007, 08:51 PM

So I see the new Newsticker button. At least, it doesn't look like a stock ticker, I say to myself.

I click the button.

BOOOM! My browser explodes. I load it up again. I click the button.

BOOOM! There it goes again.

Now, see, I thought I had it bad when the javascript navigation slowed my browser to a crawl, but no. Now we have links which cause my browser to explode.

I fear some day there will be links which stab me in the face, at this rate.

Is there any way to fix this???

Get a new browser.

All that clicking the ticker does is bring you to the Feedburner RSS page for the news section (I specifically put a separate link to the news section for that very reason)

^Yes indeed, get a new browser.

Probability of me changing my browser = 1/(Number of times people tell me to do so)

Might as well bump up your odds to three.
