Craig Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hi Alan,Luckily I have the same setup as you, so I have been able to recreate and solve this problem.It seems that IE7 has done a good job at locking down just about everything when it comes to running scripts. This is good from a security point of view, but will probably annoy many people when it comes to visiting sites where scripts are common place.You should have noticed the yellow "infobar" appear at the top of the webpage in IE at the time you clicked the hyperlink button, it would have allowed you to temporarily allow the option, but in my experience saying yes to this leads to IE auto-refreshing causing you to lose what you have just typed.A more long term solution is to add this site to your trusted list in IE. This seems to solve the "infobar" problem.Click Tools > Internet Options > SecuritySelect "Trusted Sites"Click "Sites"Uncheck the https option at the bottom of the dialog.Add http://forums.windowsforum.orgClick Close.Exit out of Internet Options, and you are done!
