Site Meter Still Crashing Internet Explorer - Update: Now Fixed

Sat, Aug 2, 2008 at 10:46:17 am

What’s up with Site Meter? We first reported the problem last night, but today their code still causes Internet Explorer 7 to throw an “Operation aborted” error. There are a lot of sites affected by this; did they just release a buggy update and go on a long weekend vacation?

If you’re getting complaints from IE7 users, remove the Site Meter traffic counter code from your blog templates.

Something’s going on at Site Meter; they may have more serious problems than just some buggy Javascript, because now trying to browse to their main web site (in any browser) produces:

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

UPDATE at 8/2/08 2:09:01 pm:

Site Meter now reports all systems go.
