I've been having problems to day with Firefox, but IE7 seems to be working ok.

Not for me today...so far. Most of yesterday however, I had a devil of a time on the left side of the screen. I was unable to access general recent posts. All I could do was click on my name and get a listing of my recent posts.

Is that your problem today?

It's been saying 500 NULL for me too. Can pull up my own posts though. Most annoying.

I had the same problem with the left-side column starting yesterday or Friday. I use MacOSX, and I realized it only affected Mozilla, not Safari.

That led me to think it's a Java problem. I went to www.java.com and verified that one of my browser was using an older version of Java. After upgrading, everything's fine.

So, go follow instructions to download the latest Java for your particular operating system. That should solve the problem.

Got rid of it by totally shutting down and restarting my computer.

I'm having trouble today---was looking for a place to report it. I can only get to the discussions from the opening "talk" page by clicking on one of the featured discussions (I use the "canal view in Venice worth it?&quot From there, I can move around by clicking on names. But the left side list never shows up---just says "error". We use Mozilla and today is the first time I've had this trouble. I tried exiting the website and coming back, but that doesn't help. I'll try shutting down and re-starting the computer.

The only way I can get on Fodors is to go to a link that someone sent me in email. Then I have to click on a name to find lists on the left. Otherwise, it says that error message..this has been since yesterday.

Happy Mothers Day!

JRun refers to Java Runtime. That's why I said one needs to upgrade/update Java on the computer and get your browser to use it.

Simply restarting the computer is not going to help. I tried.

Most of the time today all I got was a &quot;page unavailable&quot; notice.

I am tell you all again. I have the same problem as you all do all day yesterday, but not every single time.

No problem since I get the latest Java. [For those using some Netscape/Mozilla-based browser, one needs the MRJ plugin as well.]

For those using MacOSX 10.4.x, you can download Java here:

www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26564

And to use non-Safari browser, the plug-in is here:

www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23790

For the latter, you need to manually move the two items from the &quot;Binaries&quot; folder to your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.

Once you've done all of them and restart your broswer, go to www.java.com to verify it. It should list your Java Runtime Version as 1.5.0_06. Even though it will say you do NOT have the latest version of Java, that IS the latest one.
