AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with tag.contextweb.com causing browsers, particularly Opera, to hang. Clearing cache and cookies did not resolve the problem, which has persisted for several days. Suggestions include using the Chrome add-on "ScriptSafe" to block unwanted resources and considering recent Windows 7 updates that may have affected Java functionality. One user resolved their issue by reinstalling Java after a problematic update. Continued communication about the issue is encouraged as troubleshooting progresses.

I just had to switch JavaScript on Marzena's computer off, as her Opera was hanging on trying to contact tag.contextweb.com. Emptying cache, removing cookies didn't help. Anyone else noticing problems?

It persist for several days now, it is just that I didn't know about it earlier (let's call it a miscommunication :wink:).

It could be it is limited to her computer, but I checked everything I could think of - to no avail.

Ideas (about what the problem can be) welcomed.

There was a Windows 7 update a while back that caused me some Java problems. I reinstalled Java and all is well.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
