14N Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with the forum? I'm using IE9 at home and IE11 at work and I have to change the document mode to an IE8 emulator to get the forum to work at it's best. The display at home is very wrong indeed with the headings (Home, Forum, Calendar etc) not appearing where they should and using IE11 I'm unable to paste into a thread or quote anyone's posts in response to a post. The 'View New Content' function only seems to display a few posts, rather than a lot like it used to. (I know there are settings for the display of new content (since last visit, last 24 hours, last week etc), but I haven't changed any of these. The forum seems to be acting weird. Anyone else noticed anything? Quote
mouthwash Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, IE seems to hate this forum. I use Firefox these days, works perfectly well. Quote
WhackyWill Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I run it on Chrome. No problems. IE is the pits..!!. Quote
Lexx Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Unfortunately IE does create issues with the forum. Admin work hard to keep on top of it, but IE is fundamentally rubbish and difficult for the forum software developers to make work. We do recommend Firefox or Chrome for using the forum. Purely because they are more stable. 2 Quote
gsexr Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Use Firefox and works fine but now and then seems to take a while to load pages. You go back and then reload and its instant so who knows Quote

GMballistic Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I run it on Chrome. No problems. IE is the pits..!!. +1. Used to have problems but on Chrome no issues. 1 Quote
neo Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Haven't used IE for years, Firefox for desktop and Chrome for mobile, no problems at all with this forum or any others i visit Quote
samsniss350z Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I've mentioned this a couple of times in the last three months (check forum help). It seems that IE doesn't seem to pick up what you're typing and misses letters so you're constantly going back to include the letters missed. Also when you try to post a message nothing happens. I know when its going to happen when the cursor starts to flicker. Its a pain In the ass. This is the only site I have a problem with!!! Edited April 30, 2014 by samsniss350z Quote

If writing a post of any considerable length, I'll write it in another program first them paste it over (after I've changed the browser compatibility ti IE8 first) Quote

Husky Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 You should be ASHAMED of yourself for using IE! It has been and always will be a steaming pile of buggy s'te. Use chrome, firefox, safari, Opera, morse code... Just not IE Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I thought the entire purpose of IE was to download another browser?! I never knew it had any other functionality? 2 Quote

Boot up new windows machine Open IE IE pesters you with set up questions Ignore IE and skip setup Download Chrome Years later something automatically starts IE Like an alzheimer's patient, IE continues a conversation you had with it two years ago Hammer exit button so hard you break your mouse Quote
