Forum Issues in Internet Explorer  

superJMuser,

Were you aware that the forum page does not look correct in IE?

Also, when I composed this message and switched to the Add Attachments tab, added the snapshot, and then switched back to the Entry Details tab, all my data except for the attachment was wiped out.

Please note that I'm hitting the site with IE in the Internet security zone with Protected Mode on, and am not using the Compatibility View.

Hi, yes, i am aware of some of these issues, particularly the one where you lost the data you typed in after adding an attachment.  I need to work on this but haven't had time...it's a sucky work around, but if you add the attachment first, then type your message it works fine.  You can also type your message, and if you decide you want to add an attachment, just copy your message to notepad and then paste it back when you have added it.

This forum is custom built by me, so I have been working out the kinks.  As far as Internet explorer rendering of the pages, I guess I'm going to have to remove the Google search bar I added.  It looks fine in Google Chrome and Fire Fox...ugh...I don't like IE...

Thanks for the info.  I'll work on it!

Yeah, I noticed the attach first, compose second approach worked ok. I know that this is a labor of love by you, and that IE isn't your favorite (I noticed the Chrome link ). And I did note that it looks ok in Chrome.

I don't know how many of your visitiors use IE, but the post/attach thing is probably their biggest issue.

That was odd... I got the email notification for "test" long before I saw the actual "test" post.

Email is timestamped 6:24:06 PM and the post is 6:56:09 PM?
