Proxy Problem?
Hi, whenever I click a link on some forums I visit, instead of opening the thread, it opens the download box? As soon as I change the proxy, no problem, straight in. Can anyone help? As if its not already a hassle changing the proxy every 10 minutes, I now have to do it every 30 seconds

Re: Proxy Problem?
Not a proxy problem - I note changing proxy resolves the issue 'temporarily' for you suggesting you've used a number of them. If this were the case everyone would be enjoying these same symptoms and I'd imagine we'd have a lot more people jumping up and down.
Which browser? If IE reinstall the latest version to restore associations, registry entries and settings, if a Mozilla based browser try and reinstall using a supplied installer.
Sounds very very client side though, I can't see any way a proxy would do this, more to the point why only you would suffer - they just retrieve, store and forward html and images, and are unlikely to do much with forum pages as they are dynamically generated.

when you say 'download box' what exactly is it trying to download? is it a language pack/ plugin/ file download or something else?

Sorry, didnt explain myself properly, its only on my default proxy that this happens, as soon as I change to another one, the problem does not occur. It actually tries to download the thread Im trying to view, instead of letting me see it. Im In the St. Albans area, so am on the Luton Proxys
