Hi

Okay, i can't see Laserman's or the 6th's latest posts, also had problems seeing one of Andrew's earlier. I'm on Internet Explorer 8 now, with the compability mode thing enabled. Should this be happening?, or do i need to download some more?

Cheers

Can I suggest that you folks having problems with IE consider giving Safari a whirl? IME, it's faster than Firefox and IE. And Safari has 'Reader', which allows you to view a website's text and relevant pics without those annoying flashing/expanding ads.

And Safari seems to work a treat with the new whathifi.com

I've been following this thread (and others) and as a result decided to move from IE8 to FF4 as my default browser. Wow, am I a happy bunny !! Everything seems to work so well, so quickly - I can easily see with my own eyes why it's so popular.
 
I can only use IE6 at work. Soon as I try to log in it freezes. I assume IE6 is no longer supported?

You're right, we no longer support IE6, it accounts for about 2% of our traffic so isn't "worth" the effort.

However it shouldn't freeze, I'll try and remember to get some coal on the way into work and fire up the old machine that uses it and see what we can do...

Considering that Microsoft themselves are trying to kill IE6 usage http://ie6countdown.com/ I would ask your company to allow an upgrade, (or at least install a secondary browser). You will find large parts of the internet not working and it will only get worse for you.

Im well aware of the fact it would be 'nice' if they upgraded. But its a massive company and they even use a varient of XP designed specifically for the company.

That said, we may be getting upgraded to IE8 at some point (Not holding my breath though)

I think it was the one on The One Show - waited about 15 mins and still no luck. Refreshing the page - you mean like clicking on the top bit again - like the main forum headings? It took me about 10 mins too see Andrew's post at lunch time, then last night i was waiting about 15 mins and still no luck. Max then posted shortly after, could not see that post either. Reading the posts here, it seem IE8 still has the problems, do i need to move too 9?

Moving away from IE is something that would be a last resort for me, i would much prefer too stay on it.

Cheers

Gel, when you are actually in the thread on the page with the missing post press F5 to refresh or there is a "refresh" button to the right of the address bar after the "Compatability View" button. Looks like two little arrows, one pointing down and the other up.

That F5 has been working a treat mate, cheers for that. I do have too use this quite alot on IE8.
 
Compatability mode is switchable in the address bar, its an icon that looks like a split piece of paper - most times this works automatically. Ive also found that if tracking detection is turned off in IE (default) more than a few sites (this one included) wont let you post anything. This is also switchable in the address bar in the little 'circle with a line through it' icon. Win7 Premium IE 9 no problems if you turn everything off lol.. Apple and Google know where you are whether you want them to or not!
 
I've noticed for the last few days that the "Mark all posts read" feature isn't working consistently for me and indeed that actualy reading a post doesn't mark it as read. For example I came onto the forum and pretty much all the threads are showing all the posts as unread. I am using IE10 but I don't think this started happening after I upgraded to that.

No, I don't think it's IE related. To me that functionality's never worked properly, but it seems to have gone even more haywire recently. Andy was looking at it with the devs, I believe.

Dont think its ie10. Android gives same unread issues. How is ie10??? Need to know its Norton360 compatible b4 updating.

IE10 seems to be pretty good. The built in spell-check is nice for example. I don't use Norton 360 so can't say if it works with that.

It happens often, best thing you can do is type in your title then use the reply button to type in your question.

Hope this helps. 🙂
