The Forum no longer works under Windows XP, Explorer 8. Simple access to the forum generates a Stack overflow at Line 0 nearly everytime.
The back button and even simple navigation through the Forum will lock up the computer.
I have to go to Chrome just to access this one forum now.

100% Had to go to a different computer with Chrome as well. This one has windows 7 vs XP and NEITHER computer works with Explorer 8 as the browser.

I'm not sure I want to deal with this crap, I may go away until after 9-06, the day the XFinity "offer" in the Ad expires - which presumably should also be the end of that ad.

We'll need a click-through link to locate the offending ad and remove from the pool. Sometimes ads like those occur.
Regarding the Xfinity ad, and possibly being linked to forum issues, a request was made to have the ad removed from the pool.

If the GMC had comes up again I'll get you the click-through.
Ironically, over on 6speed.com (also an IB forum) I just got an XFinity ad the same size as that tall GMC ad noted above.

It would seem to me that a test environment for ads used by IB for their websites would solve these problems. Put the ads there and see what happens. If it's too big or if it causes some sort of difficulty for users, then the ad can (and should!) be modified to fit/work properly before going into a "production" environment.
There is no reason why IB can't specify standards for ads in terms of size and how they must work on the IB websites. Maybe IB should consider rejecting problematic ads or at least notifying the company providing the ads that something is not working right and that they need to fix them.

Based on the comments in this thread, it was suspected that the Comcast Xfinity ad may have been related to the described issue. If it is a bad ad, removing it is a fix. Removing the ad that was suspected of being an issue was made. My comment to clear the browser's cache was in regard to if the ad was still being seen as it should have been removed. If there is a different ad that members have spotted as causing an issue, it helps if members provide the requested information.
That does not work as a fix. In addition, to all these problems using CF with Internet Explorer, now when I mouse over the thread headings, I only see the topic for a second and have to open a thread just to be able to decide if I want to read it or not. All of this is very frustrating and bottom line till it's fixed, I will be on here much less as I am sure others are. Look at when this thread was started, and we are still having to talk about this??

I also have the back button problem. Started a couple of days ago for me.
