yorks5stringer Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Over the last couple of days I'm finding that once I click onto threads I'm not connecting through and the little circle spins around, and around and around....Find I have to close and leave IE and start again- Is it just me?

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 +1 to binning IE and getting FF - works fine, although this site is still, occasionally, a bit slow (nothing to do with our browsers, and all to do with the hosting server, I reckon).

WalMan Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 On a fairly regular basis with FF I get the site timeout message that always clears with a click on Try Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydentaku Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 As some say. Ie is the browser you use to download other browsers. Firefox for windows Safari for osx Chrome for Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Found out I was quite a few updates from MS behind, so seems to have cured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Seems like the world is getting increasingly fed up with IE, not just using it but also having to keep tweaking their websites to support it.

IE has got better over the years. I still have to keep one site I manage compatible with IE6. Which can be about as fun as putting your balls in a vice. At least it's not 5.5 though, which was worse than 5. I worked for a company once that offered a "free PC" for users of their website that had problems using a mac. Didn't last long, but the numbers worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've long lost the ability to do any meaningful website coding and have a lot of respect for those who still can and do. But I do remember the heady days when 'the web' started to emerge around 1990 and a useful web page could be thrown together with a few html tags. Sure, it was nowhere near as versatile as it is today, but I do sometimes wonder how much complexity (and legacy) is forced onto developers purely for the sake of style and appearance. The amount of time, money and computing resources all this consumes is huge. A bit like windows really. PCs may run a zillion times faster than in the 80s and have gazillions more memory and storage, but how much of this is dissipated within the OS before the PC ever gets around to doing a bit of work for the increasingly-frustrated user? I used to be able to do word processing, spreadsheets and email with an 8-bit Z80 running at a few MHz, but these days I need a relative supercomputer to do the same things - or more accurately, a supercomputer to run windows and a few of its spare CPU cycles to do my word processing, spreadsheets and emails. No wonder Bill and Steve made such a fortune; it's the best con ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL POSTERS Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm stuck with IE, it remembers all the passwords I've long forgotten. Time to moved up from Win 95 soon though I spose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 And I thought I was behind the times by still running XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Only Kidding, I am running XP Pro. Even downgraded my newish laptop. Most of the CCTV & Access Control kit I work with wont run with anythng newer. We have still got a few old systems that will only run on 95, but I aint going down that road. Wasnt kidding about IE though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just revisiting this issue, as it has been getting worse lately with me clicking on threads, then the individual messages and nothing happening, it locking up and having to close the browser and starting again. So I've upgraded to IE v 9 courtesy of some MS TV adverts reminding me, and everything now works fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If IE 9 is the answer, you can't possibly be asking the right question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
