Wikipedia bug - anyone else?
#1

Hi,

I recently experienced a annoying connection bug on Wikipedia. When i try to open an article from ******, i get the message: 'Internet Explorer has stopped working'. After that, a new tab opens with the message: 'This tab is recovered from a crash'* I've experienced this bug on two different PC's, one at the local high school and my own laptop. It's really annoying, cause i need Wikipedia for schoolwork. This only occurs at Wikipedia articles. Is this problem recognisable for someone?

Greetz,
Danny

maybe try another browser, did not happen to me though, maybe your ISP provides invalid packets?

I don't think I and my school are using the same ISP, only a few people in the Netherlands have ever heard of it (it's Scarlet). Ofcourse it can be a coincidence, but the chance is really small.

I tried it on Chrome, and it worked, the bug was gone. But I want to keep using IE, i'm not familiar with ****** Chrome. Everything is working fine on IE, except for this. Do you think there's a fix for this?

Clearly a malfunction of Internet Explorer thy shall delete windows.

No, but seriously, another browser should do the trick. (don't freaking use IE, it's even a pain to code for it let alone to use it).
