Default Internet Explorer problem
I was just wondering if anyone was having the same problem as me

In Internet Explorer I can't get onto youtube and Photobucket. Also images uploaded from photobucket don't show up on TiBB and other forums. Eveything works fine when I use AOL though.

Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I can get on to YouTube fine, but I have the same problem with photobucket. When I upload pics on to PB, they show up for maybe a day or so and then they just turn white with that little red 'X' in the corner.

Just out of curiosity, do you four all have AOL connections?

If so, I'd say AOL has some issues with Photobucket...

It's a rather odd problem.

I had no idea that AOL connections were so picky...

It is something to do with AOL moving their server to TalkTalk (I think) They have ****ed up big time. I read it on another forum. Hang on.

Ok, Youtube has something to do with Pakistan trying to block it.
http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/redire...gy/7262071.stm

From another forum.

Presumably everyone affected is on AOL.

They migrated their servers to the carphone warehouse/talktalk network over the weekend and have absolutely *******ed something up.

You'll find that you can visit these sites if you use the AOL software (because it redirects to the old AOL servers) or use a proxy, which I have been doing all weekend.

http://proxy.org/

The only thing you can do is ring them and shout at them to let them know its unacceptable. At first they deny anything is wrong. Then you tell them you work in IT and have tried everything they are about to tell you and the fact that you can access the sites through an anonymous proxy suggest that something is royally *******ed on their end, they eventually admit they are 'looking into the problem'.

So, in summary, AOL are migrating servers, they *******ed something up and 'hope to have it fixed by monday'.
