That's weird. I've taken off all the external Javascript type widgets now. There is just vanilla HTML and CSS now on the site. Only thing I can think is that its the stage6 and/or youtube videos that are embedded that are doing it. Try looking at a normal page like http://www.ubercharged.net/2008/02/13/tf2-red-and-blu-wallpapers/ and let me know if you still get issues. If it's just connections back to those video hosting sites, I guess you'll just have to live with it :/ @Murdoc - Hmm. That’s weird. I’ve taken off all the external Javascript type widgets now.

Booted up Firebug and had a look at the JS tweaked HTML code. Google Analytics puts that onclick handler on the tags. It's probably either that or Google ads that are making Peer guardian bork as well. I'm thinking of taking them off, as Google ads doesn't give me squat. Google analytics is kinda handy though (although I can get most of the same info from my web host stats). Hmm, interesting. Booted up Firebug and had a look at the JS tweaked HTML code.

It IS Adblock Plus. This is the offending code. #A(onclick^=javascript:urchinTracker) Unfortunately this is used a lot by advertisers, so unless you change the site (which I know is a bit much to ask, and I wouldn't be that cheeky) I need to figure out how to allow it for this site, but no others. Regardless, glad I figured it out:) Saves me from the horrors of IE. Figured out what it is. It IS Adblock Plus. This is the offending code.

That's the exact setup I'm using Miksu, which means it's a plugin nerfing it. Wonder if Adblock Plus is messing with it? Will whitelist the site and test.

Getting increasingly sick of YouTube's piss poor quality. On a side note, anyone explain to me why this site doesn't work properly for me in Firefox?

Stage6 links would be appreciated though, just in case the vid is worth downloading, seeing again in higher def or I've got the time for it to load. Just my 2¢.
