antrin Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 On some of my devices, IE is still there to be used. (if for some daft reason I am minded to do so....) And I noticed yesterday that this forum disnae display as it usetae on IE. The RH margin cuts off visibility of who has commented on your posts and whether it's positive, negative or smiley or whatever. And, by the same token, you can't express your feelings about other posts. I'm not wanting anyone at BAWA to 'fix' this - mainly as I suspect that it's simply a result of IE no longer being supported, so that new updates are not working as might be hoped. Wee niggles on websites and downloads from IE from at least a year ago, and interacting with companies from which I wanted a service that 'somehow' didnae seem to be functioning - no matter what I did - made me realise that I had to give in to change. I moved to Edge. I don't love it, but all the stuff that wisnae working on IE - does work fine ON Edge. (I also look at it using Safari - that's OK too) This forum for example... all ok. Just highlighting this IE 'problem' so that any Buddie wondering what HAS gone wrong here, (if they're still using IE) might be bettered served by moving ther online activity onto another browser - Chrome, edge, Firefox, Safari etc As ever - I hope this helps? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finistratbob Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 It seems to me that the new Internet Explorer is a good browser with average performance. I use it to read pdf formats and check indexed pages. Chrome is a universal browser, but it has a big drawback. Chrome requires a lot of RAM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobboll Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 This old browser has changed its visual design, but this does not apply to scripts and work speed. I recently read an article https://www.officetooltips.com/office_2016/tips/students__writing__internet_and_microsoft_office_as_helpers.html about open testing new search technologies from Microsoft. This can be a good marketing campaign. But I doubt that the old browser can do multifunctional tasks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
