Leafeon 2,702 February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 The real question here is why IE still exists. 11 Eeveelutions: @Vaporeon: N-Harmonia : Ampharos @Flareon: Descant/Bard @Espeon: Locked @Umbreon: Lhee @Leafeon: Firebolt @Glaceon: Mal @Sylveon: Don'tDropThatDedenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop 8,384 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 Just how old are we talking here? Looking over some traffic statistics only a small minority of our visitors use Internet Explorer, with a minority of that minority using IE8 or lower. Given how few people use it, I don't know that it's necessarily worth the time and effort to try and work around all of the... quirks that are associated with older versions of IE. Assuming it is even possible to do so - we could very well be limited in our ability to do so due to the forum software that we make use of. My honest suggestion would be to either update to the latest version of Internet Explorer or to make use of an alternative browser - I think you'll find that websites in general (not just this one) will work much better - not to mention the fact that whatever browser you end up with will no doubt be much more secure than an old version of Internet Explorer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiki 5,855 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 Looking over some traffic statistics only a small minority of our visitors use Internet Explorer, Anyway, yeah, I don't see why you're not the one who's updating. It only makes sense, really. 2 You'll be entranced by me ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamy Arty 6,252 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 Most people will probably recommend that you switch to Chrome and some will say Firefox. I like them both, so I'd go with either of them over IE. But if you do decide to start using Firefox, use Pale Moon. Simply put it's a customized and stripped down version of Firefox that's a bit more efficient. Try them out and see what suits you best. 1 Kyoshi made this ^^ Come join us on Equestria.tv on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for our weekly movie nights!

Betez 1,734 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 (edited) This happens to me as well. On Internet Explorer, the top half of the forum, with your username, notifications, and sometimes even the buttons on the Banner, are all cut off, and there's no way to scroll up to get to them. I'd recommend switching to Firefox.

Galex Dj 173 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 I use Google Chrome most of time now on my Macbook. THe only time I use Internet Explorer is for the Internet at my school, and even then some of the computers have Google Chrome on it. I have a Macbook so Safari was my original browser on here at first. Now I just use Google Chrome. 1 Signature by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Jones 2,655 February 16, 2013 Share February 16, 2013 Also do remember, the cost of supporting older browser are high cause every feature has to be made oldstyle proof. And older versions of IE are the worst to develop for. So all we can say is, upgrade, it's not worth it, you put stress on website developers. All which are unnecessary, users should just learn to get newer versions. They are safer, work better and do more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azura 1,107 February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 If you're having problems with Internet Explorer, you should download another browser. To be honest, I have no idea why you're still using it when there are better alternatives. 1 My Signature Shop!-=-=-=-=-Art Collection!-=-=-=-=-A Signature Tutorial! Also known as "Cloud Chaser".

Astral Empyrean 136 February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 I would just switch over to Chrome. Because IE isn't any good, FireFox is scary slow and doesn't perform well. I would just download Google Chrome... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie 302 February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 Why can't you just upgrade? Unless you're computer is so old that it won't let you use modern browsers! Why do I allways end every sentence with an exclamation mark?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiina Brown 67 February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 I have worse problems than just the "sign in" being largely unavailable: Atleast 5 times now, and one of those times on Firefox (the ones beforethat on IE), i have logged in, come in, but as soon as i used a link orclicked away a message talking about "safe connection" or "encrypted page" ... or Firefox's "save password?" .... i has become logged out from this site, unable to post! This last time, i took the sign in on the firefox page, and didn't bother clicking anywhere on the "save password" thing ... If you are reading this, it seems to have worked this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiina Brown 67 February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 This is something I'd recommend making a ticket about so the tech ponies can help you troubleshoot and get it resolved. Perhaps ... but i have no idea how to "make a ticket". I get stupid when i see the page you linked to. I mean ... "Title"? Shouldn't there be a place where it says "problem" instead? I have no idea. Oh, by the way, that link worked as it should(it did not log me out), nor do i get logged out by shifting between pages in the same topic. However, using the notification links do log me out ... By the way, i haven't had ANY such problems with either IE or Firefox before ... like, 2 days ago. And, on topic: When i use IE, this site's pages load faster, partially because the "equestria background" isn't loaded .... So, having to use Firefox on here currently just increase the waiting for the pages for me ... Interesting, now i am on IE, and i haven't gotten logged out yet ... It seems to have something to do with that secure or insecure connection thing when i logged on, ... this whole thing is wierd ... And sorry for disturbing in this topic ... Although, yes, loading the pages do take less time for me on IE, because the equestriapicture in the background doesn't have to load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales 7 February 18, 2013 Share February 18, 2013 Which version of IE are you having problems on? I might not be web staff, but I can say that the site looks fine in Internet Explorer 10 (and in turn, would mean it probably works fine in IE9). I may even be able to pinpoint the exact problem, if so. (Web developer here.) If you're using Windows XP or IE8 or below...I'd recommend changing browsers, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have XP .... and IE 8 .... XD I'll update the browser, and see what happens ... EDIT: But wait, i had the same problem when i was here on Firefox as well! And i assume that was the latest version ... Also, i tried to upgrade to IE 10, but wherever i went, it could say IE10, but then it referred to IE8 anyway! ... Which it was also pointed out to me that i already had if i tried to download it. The only exception was a place where one could BUY IE8, and IE10 was included in it there ... Currently, it works fine again, it seems the problem mainly arises when i also get a warning about "unsafe http-connection" or similar, while logging in. How i log in when the "sign in" is covered? I zoom out to 75%, and just below the blocking Forum-subscribe, one may see hints at "log in with twitter & facebook" ... and to the right of those, barely seen, if seen at all, the cursor notes a "sign in". There, i click. Edited February 18, 2013 by Tiina Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
