URL Truncated

[Cropduster]

Everytime I click on a story link, I am redirected to the Site Contents Page. Even if I paste a stories URL in the address line, it truncates everything and takes me back to the Site Contents page. I have scanned for viruses, Trojans, Spyware, etc and my system is clean. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have no idea what could be causing the problem. Have you closing IE and/or restarting your computer?

This sounds like one of the strange problems you can get with Windows when the system isn't restarted for a long time because Windows has some odd quirks in its memory managment routines.

Tried everything

I have tried it all. Rebooted. Restored from two different early points that I know were working. Booted into Safe Mode. Done all the usual things that might cure it.

The odd thing is that this is the only site that is affected this way. Started a couple of days ago. And it is not intermittent. When it started truncating, it has continued.

Oh and I have an up to date Virus scanner. Have scanned, updated, went to another online scanner and scanned, ran a malware and spyware program. Can't think of anything else to do.

Check your IE privacy settings, the default privacy setting in IE 6 will block cookies without a compact P3P privacy policy.

Try changing the privacy policy to Medium or to low and accessing the page (I don't recommend leaving it at a low setting).

You can also try using a different more standards compliant browser such as Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org) or Opera (http://www.opera.com) Firefox (previously Firebord, previous Phoenix) is my standard browser now.

You can change the privacy policy by going to tools, options, and then selecting the privacy tab.

Also if you are running a personal firewall or privacy protection service like Zone Alarms make sure they are configured to allow cookies or try disabling them temporarily and accessing the web page, if the problem doesn't occur then you have isolated the cause.

Quite a few times users have personal firewalls running with privacy protection enabled and don't realize it will break websites.

Tried everything

I have tried the cookied thing too. Always allow literotica.com . Sure is weird. Like I said, this seems to be the only site affected. But thanks for the info. I am going to try another browser next. I'll let you know if it works.

cropduster having just survived two weeks of computer induced insanity I can recommend the following site for assistance...I had very weird things to do with missing registry files, part of which corrected itself spontaneously, are you running Widows 98? Good luck, don't despair.
