Default New computer or Forum problem?

Is anyone else having a problem with the Forum? I just got a new computer and I don't know if it's the computer or the forum. It doesn't happen all the time. At times when I go from one forum to another (parts, general, for sale etc. the computer works a lot then I get the internet explorer cannot display the web page screen. Thanks

I'm not having issues. It sounds more like an internet connection problem rather than your computer or the forum. You having issues opening pages on any other site?

I use Pale Moon (optimized version of Firefox) and haven't had any issues at all. I quit using that POS IE many many years ago. I suggest you try Firefox or Pale Moon.

For a couple of weeks I and several others were having problems on here when hitting the back arrow. The Forum was made aware of the problem and for the last several days everything has worked ok at this end. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Me too.

I still use IE for many sites, but I have too many problems here so I use Firefox and no problems.

The forum does not work well with the IE10 browser - how they get is
squared away, IE11 is coming out soon

You can change to IE9
or
Chrome/Firefox


IB is aware

I had the same problem. Turned out to be JavaScript in the internet Explorer. Switched to Chrome and it eliminated the problem.
