Recently whenever I visit Bluemoon after a little while a message comes up with "intertnet explorer has a problem with this site and has stopped working" it then gives me the option to close the program down. When i take this option it carries on working, but then after a while goes down again. After going through this process four or five times it then packs in altogether. Bluemoon is the only site this happens on.

Have you tried just clicking the "Delete all board cookies" link down at the bottom? (I've resorted to copying and pasting that bit :( )

Or just clearing cache and cookies?

The best advice after you've done that would be to use a better browser (Firefox or Chrome) especially if you're using an old IE on Windows XP.

Thanks Deleted all board cookies, problem still exsists. Not sure how to clear cache and cookies. Using windows 7. Not sure about Chrome or firefox but will try chrome.

For clearing cache & cookies on IE9, 10 & 11 (you're probably on 11):

BTW, Chrome or Fire fox may import the cache & cookies as well as bookmarks when installing so would maybe still need cleaning:

I don't think Chrome is any more intrusive than IE or any other browser (they all have privacy settings anyway). Try Chrome or Firefox but without deleting your history then although a clean out doesn't do any harm now and again regardless of which browser you use.

As for why BM is causing you troubles, you'd have to ask someone like Damocles.
