Browser problems with AF

Excuse my novice problem solving abilities here.

I downloaded an Internet Explorer upgrade to Explorer 7 and ....Automotive Forums stopped working. If I try to log on or click on any sub forum I get a 404 error.

Everything else works fine. Other forums work properly, the problem seems limited to AF

I played wih the security and cookie settings a little, with no success.
Any thoughts on any possible setting I have wrong or any insight on this problem?

BTW Netscape still works great for me.

What have you tried so far? What security is it set on? Did you have old cookies for AF on your PC before you upgraded?

Try closing IE7, deleting all cookies from Control Panel then try again.

Are you sure it's 404 and not 403? I get 403s at random times lately...

In IE6 the 404 error is a javascript URL error - the solution is to install the latest security upgrade. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827667/#appliesto

Don't know what to say about IE7. It's still a "release candidate" and not actually the finished product yet. In a sense you are still "beta testing".

Thank you for the help!
In a way, I'm Bill Gates' guinea pig :frown:
I'll have a look at the updates.
