Error on page

Has anyone else noticed the following problem (apologies if this has been raised before). Down in the left hand corner of the screen on the status bar, there is usually a little logo of the Internet Explorer icon (the blue letter 'e'). However, when I use this site at the moment, this has been replaced with the Microsoft warning symbol (yellow triangle with black exclamation mark) and the words 'Error on page'. This isn't bothering me greatly as I can still use the site as I please but I've noticed that when I try to type messages, the cursor can disappear and will only reappear if I click with the mouse on the very left hand edge of the message box - if I click anywhere else within the message box it won't reappear. Does that make sense?! I'm convinced that the cursor disappearing and the Error on page message are tied in together and I feel certain it is a GC problem as I had the same thing occur on another site and the problem righted itself after some time but I didn't change any Internet settings on my PC.

Andy I have a little blue "e" showing on the left hand bottom, then the two arrows around the postcard, then a sort of circle and then a paintbrush??????(could be a shovel?) Great at computers aren't I? and the old eyes arent that good but no error message I can see. Jacqui

Hi Jacqui, I probably stand corrected then and that it may be a problem with my Internet Explorer (is version 6.0). Yeah, it's right on the status bar where you would normally see for example - "Opening page http://www.genesconnected....."
