In other news, thanks to something Dad did to the computer, which wrecked IE 7, I upgraded to IE 8 (yes, I know I’m behind) this morning. While I love it so far, there are a few sites that don’t cooperate now, so I’m trying to figure out what they have in common, that IE 8 might be lacking, so I can fix it. So far, it’s Whedonesque, Comics Alliance, and Kindertrauma. The message is “IE cannot open the internet site __. Operation aborted.” At which point, it switches to “IE cannot display this page.” Those are the only three that I've come across that give me that message.

ETA: SFX is also on the list of sites this happens to.
