Yeah it might be the forum but their were other issues on other sites like getting picture properties gave me the web URL instead of the properties. I don't like FireFox Boingo, I'm sort of set in my ole ways  but thanks for the tips  This Compatability View fix may work for those issues as well (according to their notes). Sounds like you're suffering from tecno inertia. No one says you can't have more than one browser installed.... in fact having at least two gives you an alternative when one gets hit by a trojan/virus attack. I have three on my PC. Come on ....come over to the dark side... live dangerously...try IE8 again.... you may like it NOW!   Hey so I hate browsers and hate junk on my PC. I do like the ready boost option for Vista but today I thought I'd give this a try and so far I like .. http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html |

If you want to keep competently using this forum...don't use IE8. I hate it.  It's the reason I started uploading my Leaderboards for the games. |

I'm using firefox, thanks guys! I can go to applications at facebook and they don't close! And if they do it remembers the last page I was using! Only once it closed though,, I was going to fast for it I think.
Is it a flash thing with IE7 or am I nuts?

I LOVE FF, after you go to facebook a few times all you need to type in the address block will be F and once it learns that means facebook, off you go.. I did allow IE 8 to install, it's nice.. but hmm... can I blame it for my hard drive dying? |

IE8 is not for me, yet anyway! They need to get some of the bugs worked out imo. I went back to IE7 because the 8 had some odd scrolling thing going on and when I went to quote someone, or copy and paste something, then try to type in my reply the page would scroll back to the top and it was hard to read what I was replying to let alone trying to type. I admit I'm not the greatest at spelling so not being able to see what I was typing without previewing it first was frustrating.
That's what it is like for me! I can't see what I am typing. And I modify my posts about 4 times before I feel comfortable with them!  its as if it bounces right? I had luck removing it ,, I just went to control panel home>>uninstall program>>view installed updates>> right click uninstall IE8, reboot and done. Now i have to turn off auto-updates so that its not installed again  Saw some weird things with "scrolling" while trying to post on this board using a PC with Vista/IE8. Reported it to Rob who says it may be due to IE8 incompatibility with the forum s/w. Firefox doesn't seem to have any issues, so maybe you can still have IE8 and use FF to post on this forum till Rob gets a forum update. UPDATE: OK, just tried something which seems to fix the "scrolling" issue when using IE8 to post on this forum.... You have to click the "COMPATABILITY VIEW" button at the top of IE8 (by the address bar). This will force IE8 to work with older style web sites. When I turned it on I was able to enter text in a post without any unintended scrolling. I see this as a temporary fix, until Rob gets a forum update. You can set IE8 to automatically use COMPATABILITY VIEW (for RFF Forum) by clicking the menu "Tools" -> "Compatability View Settings". Since it kept pressing me to install IE8 I caved in and the COMPATABILITY VIEW toggle works Boingo! Thanks!! |

Still using web browsers for email...? should be using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird to send/receive your (POP3) mail. Browser mail is so yesterday... ...we're still waiting for you on the dark side.... come join puddin and me in the IE8 club... "Compatability View" can be your friend.... HATED Outlook when I tried it, don't mind gmail too much, I LIKe having an outside email server in case my computer crashes... Or did until yesterday when AT&T upgraded to YaHoo which SUCKS! heh....do you WORK for IE8?? Are they paying you?? Are there incentives involved? |
