Is anyone else experiencing problems with IE 6 taking a flyer when loading certain FastCo pages? I have attached a file showing this for the Big Idea on today's post. Quite annoying actually.

Move Beyond the Gestural Interface... Give Your Phone the Finger

David Sherwin — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:16:41 -0400

Multi-touch, gestural interfaces are the new black. And for the next four to five years, they're the immediate future of our ever-evolving human/computer interactions. But for us designers, I'd like to project a little further into the future and discern an even more likely scenario: true sense integration on mobile and desktop computing devices.

Accept contact invitation feature does not work using email link

Dale Thompson — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:18:25 -0400

I received an invitation today for a contact with the link:

http://www.fastcompany.com/buddylist/nnnnn/buddies/requests, where nnnnn is the request number.

Selecting the link instantiates the fastcompany page, but the link contents are never displayed.

I also signed in to the site separately and saw 2 requests contact invitations, but could not view the profiles of those individuals.

cannot post to personal blog

Elizabeth Goldstein — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:31:44 -0400

I am unable to post anything at all to my personal blog (though I successfully created a group, a blog for that group, and posting to that blog). Whatever I type, today when I submit I get this message:

! blog : This post can't be referenced.

On previous days I got the message that I was suspected of being spam, but when I typed in the "captcha" and clicked submit, I got the above message. Today it just skips that step. Can anyone help?
