    Internet Explorer

    The problems @Hooroo was getting was nothing to do with layout changes. It was actually code that is failing to run.

    The app was attempting to load, got less than halfway through and then had an error. All the code after that point did not run.
    So the missing lightbulb and lack of scrolling etc etc is because the app will not work on IE at all

    I think Nodebb stopped supporting IE ~3 years ago. It's been luck that it has worked for this long. Forunately it is only 0.4% of our traffic over the last year and it's dropping fast (well now I guess it will be 0%)

    This will happen more and more if your company forces you to be on IE. For instance in a few months Microsoft Internet Explorer will not support opening various Microsoft web apps

    It's basically dead

    Kill it with fire

    Hopefully you can successfully nag your IT team?

    I can't upvote some users posts. It says Error forbidden.

    Please tell me that's a special setting for @MN5's posts.

    Stop being so negative and jealous. Some of my work is quite inspired. The upvotes I get can’t all be accidents.

    If anyone is having trouble posting try a hard refresh or clear your browsers cache.

    A couple of people have had issues with their phone loading out of date stuff

    A friend of mine said that deleting your browser history speeds things up as well.

    @no-quarter said in Forum maintenance (mostly done - fixing the layout problems):

    People, for the love of God, stop using IE to browse the web. Your IT department should give you a modern browser to use even if some of their shitty custom apps still need IE. It's a waste of Duluth's time fixing stuff for old browsers.

    I know im principle your right but my organistion using document filing system that will corrupt word doc if you use anything else but IE

    For sure mate, we have the same at work with some old apps that require IE. But your IT dept should also be giving you a modern browser to use for general internet usage as well. IE for the old system, Edge or Chrome for the internet.

    What's a "hard refresh" - what's a soft refresh for that matter and no one said what seamonkey actually means....
    I actually haven't noticed any changes!?

    Typical. I resigned 6 weeks ago and finish on the 30th. I haven’t been able to use the fern at work since the upgrade as we are on IE.

    Just been notified they are updating to Chrome and Edge this week.

    They'll take you back. Just explain that you couldn't fuck around on the internet whilst they were paying you because they had an outdated browser so you resigned. Now that they have fixed the problem, good to go again.

    Has anything changed overnight?

    The Main forum has now dropped to the bottom, it and the Fitness forum seem to have swapped?

    Looks like the order got screwed up when I re-added the 'Fernies'

    Should be good now

    The way that's going it might not have been wise.
