Hi, When I navigate to the main page of a website, instead of having the web page, there is a list of topics in BLUE on the left hand side of the page, but I never can get to the main page. For instance, if I navigate to www.washingtonpost.com, the page never comes up. Only a list of topics. Once I click on a topic, it does go to that particular sub heading, but when I go back to the main page, it is just a list of topics.
