Micro$not Internet Exploder

MrMazda

Hi Family,

I have been doing some testing as the site has been doing very "strange" things as of late, including running as slowly as dial up, and have come to an interesting conclusion. My tests have shown that 99.9% of the problems I've been having with the site were in fact an "illusion" created by Internet Explorer. When running the same type of tests using Firefox (among other browsers) instead, the problems all stop dead in their tracks.

For this reason I suggest creating some sort of a public posting advising users that users avoid the use of Internet Explorer on this site due to known compatibility issues. For possible legal reasons (such as solicitation issues in some countries), there would need to be more than one recommendation (e.g. Opera, Firefox, Google Chrome).

Just a thought…

I have actually gone so far as to surgically remove Internet Explorer and all its trace components from my computer. It no longer exists

It was a PITA to do, but I did manage to do it successfully

Sadly the idiots at work make it so we have to use IE for many things.

Even banking can be a PITA if you use something other than IE.
