Explorer 9 on Win7 machine - Got the message that the content cannot be displayed in a Frame with an option to display it in a new page (which worked fine)

My understanding is you are inserting the code through a gadget? This is what could be causing the issue. It is not direct.

Ok thanks guys I have this resolved now.

@Troutman8 good idea to post the answer so others can benefit.

The issue: highlighting text and pressing the "link" button and adding the url. When the link is clicked by a reader the link refreshes the same window without the forum properly loading.

The solution: I am not using the link button. instead I just copy and paste the URL right into the message. An automatic link is created.
