I don't know if this only happens on Internet Explorer, but does anyone know what is causing this? It's REALLY annoying! I try refreshing the page going back and forward, and it just stays the same. I didn't catch it on screen, but sometimes a gray box appears in the middle of the screen with an exclamation mark?

Here is a picture of what i'm talking about:

Appreciate any advice :thumbup:

ETA: Actually, you can see the exclamation box I was talking about :D
 
What version of IE are you running. Could be you need to run the website in compatibility mode.
 
Does it look the same in other browsers? Say Firefox, Chrome, etc...?
 
It hasn't happened yettt using firefox.

I have IE9. It doesn't just happen on that site. Just every now and then it does it.
 
Is it just 1 particular website?
Clear your browser cache then
restart IE.
Looks like a java script error
might try updating java and flash
Personally,I would start looking into Firefox (free browser)

The bad thing is, I do have it! I don't know why I dont use it more.

It does occur on multiple sites though. It's funny you mention flash...every now and then youtube won't let me play a video. I then switch over to Firefox where it plays perfectly.
 
Another thing is that you might have the incorrect version of java installed on your machine. Run windows update, uninstall java, and see if the site requests you to download java and allow the JS site to select your version for you.
