The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Oops! This link appears to be broken

Asked by Mr_Fulano in Internet Explorer Web Browser

Hi, I use MS Internet Expolorer 7. I often navigate to many of Microsoft's sites such as [www.microsoft.com, www.msdn.com, etc.] I've found that my request will timeout and I continuously get a Google Toolbar error message page stating "Oops! This link appears to be broken." and asking me if I want to either "View cached copy of page from Google", or search for "Microsoft" using Google.

I've discovered that the links to MS are not really broken and that MS's sites are up and running, but somehow Google is getting involved in my web access request and I'm not even using Google to try and connect to the site.

If I ask to view Google's cached page, I then get a link that lets me go to the actual "live" MS page.

This behavior ONLY happens with Microsoft related sites - no other. What the heck is actually happening...??? Is Google blocking my access to Microsoft?

Thanks for your help,
Fulano
