Default Problem accessing DPS?
I'm having problems accessing the site using Explorer this morning. If I try to go to the forum or the blog I'm getting an error that says "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/. Operation aborted. I can access the site using Firefox.

Is this a problem with the site or is it only me who is experiencing it?

Nope you're not the only one it worked fine last night but I've been getting the same message in IE since I tried to log in early this morning, same thing happens if you try to read the blog. I googled the message to find out if it was just me too. But seems to be a problem that happens with IE and some site codes or something...
I'm sure somebody will fix it, but until then I installed firefox (just so I can read the mb lol) it seems to work fine on that.

From his twitter feed, I think Darren had been trying a tool called sitemeter but it turned out to cause lots of problems for people using IE7. I think he has ditched it - perhaps you could try again with IE (although if you get into Firefox you may not want to go back...).

The problem started about 2am EST and continues to cause errors at 11am on 8/2/08 .

IE error is a php error (I'm using IE7.x on Vista and XP)

Firefox works (as a backup)

Works for me in both IE and FF. I am now seeing the extreme macro photography video on the blog page. Using IE 7 on Vista x86.

It seems like it's fixed!

Thanks for addressing the problem so quickly
(maybe I should email my thanks to AL Gore...Afterall, he's the one that invented the internet...Maybe he's the one that fixed the problem)
