Hi

Recently I have had an intermittent problem navigating the TechRepublic site. When clicking on a link to a question I am sometimes redirected to CNET's homepage. Often, clicking Stop, then Back, then trying the link again will display the desired page.

I have contacted TechRepublic Support, who say that the problem I described has been logged as a bug, but that until another user reports the same problem, there is nothing they can do about it. They have tried to replicate the problem without success. As it occurrs intermittently, I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing or has experienced the same problem. I have been redirected 3 times to CNET's homepage while trying to access questions in the last 45 minutes alone.

Isthere a solution? If anyone has seen the same thing can they report it please?

Cheers

I've not experienced the above.

Is CNET your default homepage by any chance?

Have you cleared out all your Temporary Internet Files (Cache in Netscape) and History files. CNET is not spyware and they have nothing in their software that would do this redirection.

Hi Anna777, thanks for answering. I use I.E. v6, SP1, and have set it to delete all temporary files when it closes. I also tried deleting all CNET cookies, but this made no difference. Techrepublic is set as my home page.
