MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 9 COMPATIBILTY WARNING

[Dinosaur EngineerParticipant @dinosaurengineer]

[Dinosaur EngineerParticipant @dinosaurengineer]

Please note that the digital issues viewer will not work with the beta version of Microsoft Explorer 9.

I found this out by updating my Internet Explorer 8 to the latest version to see if the latest version would offer any benefits. I then discovered I couldn’t access the digital issues images. Reverted back to version 8 and all is well !

Just thought I would try to minimise any unecessary head scratching and hair loss if other subscribers think of using Internet Explorer 9  !

Hi Dinosaur, I am also using IE9 beta and don’t have any problems accessing the digital issues.

Hi There

I have installed IE9 and it works fine with the Digital issues.

I did not use the compatability feature.

However, it does not like this text editor built into this website.

Also it does not seem very user friendly so I have reverted to IE8.

regards David

I have the same problem as the OP, but using Firefox 3.6.13 running under windows Vista HP.  Strangely, I can access  the first few pages using my laptop and Firefox, again 3.6.13 but that runs Ubuntu 10.10 Linux!  Weird.  No sign of my MEW 172 in the post, but then we have got a couple of centimetres of fresh snow this morning here in Normandy.

 

Season’s Greetings to all,

John

Someone must have sprinkled a little Christmas fairy dust on my laptop ‘cos it now displays the whole of the latest issue of MEW with no problems, although it still won’t appear on my desktop computer.  At least I can now see all the pages while I’m cooking supper!

For many years I have become convinced of one thing about most software providers (IBM, Microsoft, etc). New software is not released – it ESCAPES!

I try to wait before getting a new system to the point where the supplier says ‘it will no longer be supported’. It is pretty bug free by then!

Sorry if I appear to be a bit geekish – I’m not – I just don’t like to be beaten!  I’ve fixed it.  I was recently invited to upgrade my version of Adobe flashplayer “to get enhanced viewing pleasure”!  Just downgraded to the older version, and hey presto! I can now read the e-magazine.  Almost as good as getting a Christmas present!
