Website doing weird things

Recently, when I have been on the scratch website, it has been doing weir things. Sometimes when I click a link or button (usually the forums button) my internet explorer is closed down and a notepad doc with java script on it is saved on my desktop. Why is the website doing this?

I have something similar:

I usually get logged out about every 10 minutes, but sometimes I can't even Load Scratch. I quit Firefox 3 times! just to get on Scratch

That's my PSN ID. I know tons of COD4 glitches. Add me as your friend. Oh, and get a headset

It's not that i'm being logged off, the whole internet explorer window closes and a notepad doc with java script on it appears on my desktop. That is just plain weird

I just wanted to point out the logging off thing, since this post IS website Doing Weird Things

Re: Website doing weird things

You are logged off every so often depending on what internet browser you are using. when i use firefox I get logged off every 10 minutes but when I use internet explor I get logged of every 3 days of inactivity

Re: Website doing weird things

Maybe I should try contacting a member of the Scratch Team for help

Re: Website doing weird things

I have noticed that I get ghost comments. I beleive this has something to do with the reply feature. Does anyone know why this is happening. It is getting annoying.

Re: Website doing weird things

Bluestribute: the problem you describe seems like it only happens on MacOS X when using Java 1.5. Unfortunately we have not been able to figure out why that happens, a solution could be to change to a different version of Java. I don't use MacOS so I am not sure how to do that though  sad

I never thought of THAT. I'll try it.

Re: Website doing weird things

geckofreak: from what you describe, it is more likely a problem with your computer or your browser. Try installing Firefox as your browser, it tends to work better than Internet Explorer and it's free!

I have firefox but it always runs slow. On my other computer firefox is somehow in Japenese (Don't ask me why.). The problem also only started after you updated the website.
