Problems with IE.

Posted: 7/29/2013 1:08:26 PM

Seems only to work on Firefox. Have had problems for a bout 2 -3 weeks on any computer I try to post or reply with IE. Anyone else noticed this?

I ran into that problem probably a month or two ago. I also started having some other issues with IE and basically quit using it altogether.

It hasn't worked for me for what seems like at least a year. I mainly use Chrome or Firefox.

Only use Chrome or FireFox. Never use IE. It's junk.

I only use chrome on my computer, but I haven't had any issues with IE on my phone.

I've seen crazier things happen.

IE 10 does not work with the message editor. If you REALLY like IE, use http://m.bobcatattack.com which does not use the message editor.

I understand not many still use IE but I think the hospital IT guys would tend to get a lil pissy if I statrted loading other browsers on their computers. I tend to fill time catching up on BA. All my computers in the office and at home ....18 in all...have firefox or dolphin depending on their OS. Just means I have to switch to mobile at the area hospitals.

On IE, try turning on compatibility mode. It makes surfing slightly trickier (you have to go to the main message board page instead of using the drop down menu), but you can use the text editor to post.

I'm sure Gates still does. He may be the only one, tho. His Microsoft nerds have probably moved on.

And Yahoo sucks, too. Doesn't have anything to do with this thread; just thought I'd throw it in.

I never understood why people get so fired up about browsers. They all do a very simple and straight forward thing and are all basically the same.

For want of a better word, it's the "feel" to them. I just like the way Firefox operates. For one thing, if you want to clear the history, Firefox allows you to do it for the past hour, the past two hours, the past four hours, "today" (which I'm not sure means the last 24 hours or just since midnight) or everything. With Explorer, you have to delete everything or nothing. Also, with Explorer, if you're not careful you can easily delete shortcuts to favorite websites on the URL dropdown. It's not so easy with Firefox.

Its just par for the course for me...I feel the same way about Coke/Pepsi, Android/iPhone, Skyline/Goldstar,Home Depot/Lowes, etc. Don't understand how you can hate one and love the other.

A browser is an incredibly complex piece of software.

That's fine if you are a casual user, which you seem to identify as. But the different browsers are not the same.

But Coke/Pepsi arguments are about the dumbest thing one can get into. And I say that as a person who gets into a lot of dumb arguments.

I'm sure it is, but as far as end user...To me it is enter address, display website.

Opera is sadly underrated. It gets bonus points in my heart for being a browser we could download and use in high school to circumvent the content filter.
