Does this (http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:Waqv0KstNIEJ:www.polisource.com/+polisource&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1) page crash IE for anyone? I think it only happens when you make polisource.com a trusted site. I might report it to Google, unless I'm the only one this happens to.

Didn't happen to me just now, opened it with IE6 and iRider, no crash. How does one make a site "trusted?"

How does one make a site "trusted?"Tools > Internet options > Security > Trusted sites > Sites, then enter:
*.polisource.comThen click add. The crash could be due to my particular security settings (Internet options > Security > Trusted sites > custom level), but I don't know of an easy way to tell you what all of mine are. Basically, I'm in nag mode. When there's a security option to warn me about something, I have it warn me. When I try to view Google's cache of my webpages, the crash occurs after I approve all of the things Windows asks me to approve.

After adding *.polisource.com to my trusted sites I closed IE and opened a new IE. I pasted the URL of this forum page into the address window, came back to this page and then clicked on your polisource cache link above. No crash.

...actually, the crash probably has more to do with my security settings than whether it's a trusted site. The only difference between trusted and untrusted sites are the security settings.

Also, if you loaded the webpage successfully, you won't ever see the crash in that instance of IE. You'd need to open a new browser.

No crash.I'll reboot, and if it still happens, I'll post my security settings and contact Google.

It's probably some freaky problem with how Google's invalid HTML plays with my webpages, and I doubt Google will fix it, but here are my security settings for anyone who wants to try to reproduce it (abbreviated):

e, e, e, p, p, e, e, e, e, e, l, e, e, e, e, p, p, e, e, e, e, e, e, l, e, d, e, p, e, e, e, p

Thanks to all who tried.
