The apparent problem seems to be limited to Firefox ... maybe something to do with updates to FF versions 8,9 or 10.
There is not a problem viewing any Electro Tech forum on Internet Explorer .... only with Firefox.
... could be related to some recent forum upgrade though.

hyperlink to Electronic Projects Design/Ideas/Reviews does not work
clicking on Electronic Projects Design/Ideas/Reviews does nothing ...
Problem started about 24 hours ago ...
Bookmark page also not working.
To summarize, I cannot view the Electronic Projects Design/Ideas/Reviews webpage.
The other forum topic pages work fine .... just that one that is a problem.

Works for me in Firefox and MSIE, if I right click the link on the home page in Firefox and choose "Copy Link Location" I get:
Firefox:
http://www.electro-tech-online.com/e...ideas-reviews/
If I right click the link in MSIE and view the properties I get:
MSIE:
http://www.electro-tech-online.com/e...ideas-reviews/
They both come up identical for me. That is Firefox 10.0 and MSIE 9.0 each current with any and all current updates.

Yes I get the same result from right-clicking in Firefox on the idea-review link....
However, in Firefox, there is no page transfer to the selected forum page : http://www.electro-tech-online.com/e...ideas-reviews/
When using Internet Explorer, the idea-review link correctly transfers to the forum page ....
Something is apparently wrong with Firefox ... even though everything is updated.
Maybe I should try removing and re-installing Firefox ... something could be corrupted.
Tried Firefox removal, new download of FF10.0, re-installation ... no difference.
The idea-review forum page is the only forum page that does not transfer to the appropriate website.0Last edited by user_88; 8th February 2012 at 08:07 PM. Reason: update

Well my first thought was blow away Firefox and I see been there and done that. Something you can try is to disable the add-ons in Firefox and if the link(s) work start to enable one at a time. Since that link fails to work and others work you have to wonder what it is about that link? Weird stuff.

I tried that ... disabled add-ons ... no help.
... Momentarily disabled firewall ... no difference.
Must be something related to my computer or hard drive ... no one else seems to have this particular difficulty.0

Hi,
Did you try typing this into the address bar:
"http://www.electro-tech-online.com/electronic-projects-design-ideas-reviews/"
See if that does anything.0One test is worth a thousand expert opinions, but one expert specification is worth a thousand tests.

Tried it ... does not work .... just goes to the page with the list of all forums.
Next step is to get a new hard drive ... or at least a different one ... and see if the problem persists.
.........................
I installed Firefox 10.0 to a completely different drive on my computer. Running Firefox from the different drive did not solve the problem ... cannot reach idea-review forum from Firefox on this computer.
... no problem with Internet Explorer.0Last edited by user_88; 10th February 2012 at 01:39 AM. Reason: problem persists

Link works fine for me, using Firefox(3.6.12).
Must be something unique to your pc/software settings. Have you run a virus check?0My circuit designs should be regarded as experimental. Although they work in simulation, their component values may need altering or additional components may occasionally be necessary when the circuit is built. Due safety precautions should be taken with any circuit involving mains voltage or electrostatic-sensitive components.

... using Kaspersky PURE ... don't see how a virus could be the difficulty ... no other prominent symptoms or virus characteristics.
The event seemed to occur about the time of the last forum upgrade.
Yet, the problem seems to be limited to my personal computer... nobody else.
