Default Rep problem

Is it just my computer or is it just how it is. Anytime I give rep I have to exit because it freezes up. I'm real computer stupid so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a bug in the rep system with IE. We're aware of it, but all we can do is keep an eye out for the patch with the fix.

Try Firefox from www.mozilla.org, it's free and has fewer problems like this than IE.

lnz, yes and no. As you can see it's a personal preference thing; just like mac vs. pc.

Anyway; if it's not a major problem for you; then no, I don't recommend you change.

If you want to try something new, check it out. But otherwise, it may just add to some confusion.

But yes, FireFox is a free downloadable alternative to Internet Explorer.

And hey guys; keep the Mac vs. PC war somewhere else thanks. (I figured I might as well say something before it starts growing)
