If you get an "Operation Aborted" error when opening a website in Internet Explorer, it's due to the way IE incorrectly handles certain code (on this site, IE7 mishandles the code for the Facebook Fanbox); we're trying to find a workaround, but it may load correctly if you click your "Back" button or refresh your page.

You should also upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, due to many security patches, etc.
