Internet Explorer Issues

[Admin]

I went ahead and followed Method 1 & 2 listed here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...some-web/4021b63c-4cf3-45b9-a728-1dbc8ad1705c

I rebooted my computer and IE 11 seemed to behave better, still not a good as chrome, but better than before.

Can you guys give those steps a try and report back, please.

I'm reporting in after a switch to Chrome, everything works fine but it is hard to overcome years of muscle memory with feature locations, and functionality.

I still have IE on the machine as a backup and as of this morning it was still acting the same here on SVTP, the troubleshooting results are well beyond my knowledge base, so I can't offer anything other than keep up the good work!

I had tried Method 1 a couple days ago, just as a something I remember from previous problems over the years, it offered no improvement.

Method 2 was met with "Sorry, your operating system is not support by Fix It at this time"

I am running Win 8.1 64 bit, LOL.

I'm at my wit's end, I'm beginning to think the issues is with IE 11 only, and likely isolated to specific implementations of IE 11.

I just ran the http://www.webpagetest.org/ test again, across different IE versions.

IE 11 from San Antonio test location (utter crap)

IE 11 from Dulles, VA test location (lightning fast)

IE 11 from NYC test location

IE 11 from San Francisco test location

IE 10 from Dulles, VA test location(not bad)

IE 9 from Dulles, VA test location(speedy)

IE 8 from Dulles, VA test location

I know it's beating a dead horse, but definitely give Chrome a chance. I've used FF for years but recently it started acting up on me. Today I made the decision to fully move over to Chrome (been using it sporadically for years) and the difference is huge. Chrome is far faster on every site I visit than FF ever was, even when it was functioning properly.

I've switched to chrome and also fire fox with no difference. What does this site not have in common with any other site? All others I've been to work fine.

I just tried the site on Chrome, it is a bit faster than FF as far as posting and opening threads. I've been using FF so long, I just need to convince myself to move all my other stuff over and try to get used to it.

Not sure what to tell you, as you can see in this thread I've run multiple tests and looked at page load speed data from two difference sources.

What are your computer and internet connection stats?

run this: http://www.speedtest.net/ when it's finished, click Share this result, then click Forum. copy and paste that here.

Here is my result:



Also I checked in with IE again and this is just as bad a s ever, still no loading any of the bottom right ads and hanging up.

For the future I will keep running Chrome, but it is a strange compatibility issue we've uncovered...

Here is the result:

That's neither good nor bad... how's the site working for you on Chrome?

 

[Darren5.0L]

Everything is running slick with Chrome, functionally faster than it has every been with IE versions, even long before the recent issues.

I stopped chasing "best" browsers back when IE was competing with Netscape Navigator while Altavista, Webcrawler, and Askjeeves were viable search engines. If something works, I generally stick with it until it fails or gives me reason to change.

My connection is fine. I use many sites every day and this is the only one that gives grief. I don't know what changed in the past few weeks with it but...let me just say I'm glad I'm not paying to be a premium member at this point.

So we getting any of these things fixed for IE 11. I have used chrome but was getting issues where ive had to uninstall for now. I do like IE and works really well on most sites but has issues on svtp.

There is a reason why MS is discontinuing that piece of crap.

Are they? IE Is built into windows.

Are you still experiencing issues?

I've been using IE11 on the site the last two days "for testing" purposes and it's been flying. It should have improved, as we made some changes the way ads are served.

I will check it out later today or tomorrow. But i know a week ago or so i was still having delaying issues. Both with typing in the quick reply box and loading pages on svtp on windows 7 pro with IE11
