Strange problem with BBC website
The last couple of days when I have been on the BBC News website and clicked on a story, using either Opera or Firefox, the page has appeared and then vanished instantly.

It doesn't happen on the local weather section or the main page, but it occurs on all other items.

Anyone else getting this?

Working ok for me on FF.

Mind you I think the BBC's site is one of the most difficult ones to navigate around, nothing is ever where you think it is going to be.

Sounds like my study after various other people have been in there! (SWMBO/son/cleaner)
The BBC website is too cluttered.

I have the latest Flash and it presumably has to be uninstalled for it to agree to a fresh installation?

Maybe they've fixed something at the Beeb, it's working again!

It happens all the time at work - they're still on IE6 - I suggest updating your Opera & Firefox.

We're on holiday in Tuscany, and it won't let Her listen to the Archers on "Listen again". BIG mistake, BBC!

Did that once. It rained all week.

Sitting in the sunshine outdoors eating an excellent Tuscan dinner made up for it all.
