sprocketflup Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 the buttons along the top row, i.e. pm shortcut, notifications but in particular the username dropdown menu has suddenly stopped working for me? when I click on it, it tries to display but can only manage to show the 'Whats on your mind' box. I used to use these to navigate through the forum, finding it tricky without it tbh. Ive tried clearing my cache and that hasnt worked, that's about the limit of my technical savvy tho :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Strange - presume you have tried logging out and back in again? How about a different browser, same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Righto. IE10 has always been a wee bit flaky with the board software we use (along with a lot of other sites!). We did some upgrades yesterday and my best guess is that the other boards using this same sort of software are using an older version of it. If you do the upgrade to Windows 8.1 it automatically installs IE11, which is what I'm using here and works fine. The upgrade is free from the Microsoft website and took about 30 mins when I did it. EDIT: The other alternative is to install a different browser like Chrome or Safari which adheres to internet standards a little more rigidly than IE.

icastle Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 [quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1383566861' post='2265865'] Ive done it again, told a porky I mean, im on Windows 7, as Ive just found out by going to the Microsoft site doh! [/quote] The important bit is the browser version really. Windows 7 supports IE10 but the good news is that it supports IE11 as well. If you're still on IE10 then upgrade to IE11 and there's a very good chance that you'll be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Righty-o Ive updated to IE 11 it seems to have solved the issue of the dropdown menu However, now my left arm has stopped working, and every time I try to go for a wee, my pointing device is disabled. Oh, hang on, that last one might be the twenty years of marriage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
