    That's the message I get when I go to post now and it doesn't stop popping up. I don't know what that means. Or how to stop it from coming up. Or even how to fix it. Even now, it keeps coming up.

    Well most programming these days is done with objects, so that appears to be a runtime error that basically says the program was expecting to be handed an object but got handed something else.

    I'm not sure what program is running that cares about your posts though. Might be server side. Could you provide a screenshot? How long has this been going on?

    It only started about yesterday. But that wasn't this site. Today it's all over any site that will let me post or respond to something.

    Hmm... Definitely your side then. Sounds like something is trying to monitor your outgoing traffic and failing. Only things I can think of would be a two-way fire wall or spyware. Have you tried running a scan?

    I ran a scan last night and it came up clean.

    What browser are you running? Is it up-to-date?

    Try one of these and see if it resolves the issue:
    • Update to Internet Explorer 10
    • Download Mozilla Firefox
    • Download Google Chrome

    Or you could re-install IE9. It occurred to me after I logged off that it could also be an error in how the browser handles message box submission which could be fixed with a fresh installation.

    So I've downloaded and installed Google Chrome, like you all suggested. And...so far I'm able to post freely again. So you're saying I just can't come here when using IE9? Does anybody know why that is? Is there something wrong with IE9 that it doesn't want to work properly with KHV? It worked fine a few days ago. I don't understand why it would change.

    Probably outdated.

    If you'd rather use Internet Explorer, try updating it to Internet Explorer 10 and see if it resolves the issue.

    I'll just keep it like this. Things are easier.

    Outdated or something corrupted it. Might not have been malicious, (such as a badly designed toolbar or an error while it was making changes) but considering Microsoft tends to get rather stuckup/lazy when it comes to IE I think you'll come to like the switch to Chrome outside of fixing that bug.
