   Wow... A lot of punctuation marks... Have you restarted your browser? Cleared any cookies? Restarted the computer? I haven't had any problems today.
   
   
   
   Side tip, you typically publish holiday stuff in advance for better SEO traffic.

      It's irrelevant. My Valentine's Day Hub is for the ladies of HubPages, not for my personal gain.

   It will not allow me to edit the hub.
   
   It keeps running into an error in IE, and reloads the edit mode of the hub.
   
   This is only effecting my Valentine's Day Hub.
   
   I am able to edit others without a problem?
   
   Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Yes it does. Because it is happening to my HUB #2 only.
      
      I am able to edit other hubs, but not that one? I don't get it, it doesn't make anymore sense than the fact that I've still not received my newsletter and still receiving sporadic emails.

   Have you tried Firefox?
   
   Do you actually manage to open the Hub to edit, or does it mess up before then?
   
   Just asking because mine occasionally jams up whilst I am in edit mode - I copy the URL and paste it into another tab. That one then works just fine.
   
   Absolutely no idea if that helps in the slightest, but you never know.
   
   Best of luck - I know how much work you have put into this

      No, I haven't and I shouldn't have to.
      
      I've tried opening it in it's own window and tried opening it in a new tab.
      
      IE keeps getting an error, when loading a hubtool/create/name during the edit mode.
      
      I've done everything to change/fix the problem, but the error keeps coming, and when it does, it locks up for a few seconds and then tries to reload in the edit mode? It keeps going in circles?????????
      
      Thank you Sufidreamer. Appreciate the help.

       IE can always be the problem, it saves a lot of headaches in web browsing/publishing to just be able to pull up alternate browsers (firefox,chrome,opera) when necessary...its surprising how often it gets the job done...you dont always know why
       
       and really IE just isnt as good as the others anymore
       
       Sufis link is rather telling...bunches of people saying IE just doesnt work right!

    Cut and paste the error, without the timestamp, and run a Google search - you are not the only one to have the problem.
    
    I skimmed through a couple of sites and they all suggested that things are fine with Firefox - I seem to remember that Firefox is the suggested browser for HP, although my memory is not the greatest

    hehe - most of my post is now redundant!
    
    It seems that your choices are:
    
    Hunt on the Microsoft site for a patch
    
    Install Firefox
    
    For things like this, I have two browsers - if one messes up, it is easy enough to switch between the two. I use Firefox, but it occasionally messes up, so I switch to IE or Chrome
    
    Anyway, that is way beyond the limit of my techie knowledge. If we keep bumping this up, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will notice!

                   I looked at this a bit.  I believe the cause is a combination of Internet Explorer and the shear number of capsules in the hub.  I was able to edit without trouble in Firefox.  In IE I saw that an error similar to what you are reporting, but was able to go ahead and edit the hub by just ignoring the error, although things were a bit slow.  I doubt that I have exactly the same Internet Explorer configuration as you, so it's hard to recommend  a precise remedy.
                   
                   We don't enforce any strict limit on capsules, but depending on your browser and configuration things may become less stable starting around 100-150 capsules.  If you don't want to use firefox,  I'd suggest adding a part trois and quatre.

                      I get it about the 100-150 capsules, but I have no where near that many capsules even loaded into that hub.
                      
                      I know I have about that many in Hub #1, but Hub #2 isn't anywhere near finished. So, I guess I'll figure out something.

          Hi Cagsil,
          
          I tried to reproduce your issue.  I was able to edit both of your hubs in both Firefox and IE 7.
          
          I suspect that your problem has to do with an IE setting. 
          
          If you click Tools->Internet Options  (Advanced Tab):
          
          Make sure that that under the "Browsing Section":
          
          You should have checked:
          
          * Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)
          * Disable script debugging (Other)
          
          That may be the issue that you are hitting.

    Cags, I was a die-hard IE user as well, but I have switched to Firefox because it just has fewer problems with the Hub Pages editors et al.
    I am finding it loads slower and I sometimes have to reboot, so it is certainly not perfect, but WAY fewer problems, especially with hubs that have similar titles - IE HATED my adventure series - that's when I switched, too.
    Made no sense to me either, so if you find out what the hiccup is, let us know. In the meantime, hang in. We're all happy to wait for your Hub, my friend.

    I love Firefox though I'm still learning it. I made the switch about six months ago after I started getting blue screen errors.
    I'm still getting blue screen errors but Firefox will reload my pages exactly the way they were before the crash, even including half-written web emails!!
    Don't remember IE ever offering that service!
