Problem with Wargamer Forum

Post by JudgeDredd »

I've been able to post (up until this morning) on The Wargamer Forum, but since Windows 7 updated this morning (and installed Internet Explorer 9) I don't seem to be able to post.

Is anyone esle running Win7 SP1 and/or IE 9 and can post there?

I'm running Win7 Sp1 and can post but I'm using IE8....

Uninstalled IE 9 and it's fine. Unusual for MS to have a problem with a release of a new browser [;)]

Why? Could install FF for posting on wargamer instead.

From a webdeveloper perspective IE9 is the first halfway feasible version.

Yes - I jest.

Lutzow, I don't like Firefox and even if I did - I don't want two browsers. I like familiarity - so one is enough

JD,

I forget, but I had to hit a setting in IE9. I had the same problem, could not post. I kept fiddling with setting in IE9, and found the right one. Now I forget which one. <G>

It's there trust me. LOL...Dang it sucks getting old...

Ok, I think I found it. It's the compatibility view in the tools section. Try that, it worked for me.

Easier to click the torn page to the left of the refresh in the One Box.

You could also complain to the Wargamer site, if they notified MicroSoft of the problem, that site could be put on the compatibility view list so that I.E.9 would be able to load that site correctly.
