Do The Sonar Forums not work with IE 9??

I get that all the time using Opera, FireFox, or Chrome (I never use IE). So i think the forums are just crappy. =). It happens less when I'm at work though, interestingly enough.

I have problems with IE9 and the forums and even worse problems when trying to do any DL's from my account or access updates. By habit, I run Firefox whenever I'm in CW country, it keeps the flies away.

No issues with IE9 and the forums here.
 
I like the IE9 download manager, previously I switched to Firefox for big downloads but Microsoft have closed the gap to the point where I don't feel the need to open up FF for a download.
 
Call me a luddite but what I don't like about IE9 is the "clean" X1 style interface, what is it with modern software and people wanting to hide all the controls??

Well - I do not use IE9 at all....

The only computer running Windows here is the one that is running Sonar (and other music software). And I do not allow this computer to connect to the internet, apart from the unavoidable occasional registering/update. And that last bit is only trough a firewall that only allows that traffic that is absolutely needed.

All my other computers are running Linux. I only use Firefox, Opera or Chrome. I did not have any "forum not responding" errors, apart from the occasions the complete forum seems to be down. This happens now and then, and that has nothing to do with the browser used - just a crappy provider (or misconfigured forum software). I noticed sometimes the SQL server seems to be down or unreachable - resulting in forum errors. Again - nothing to do with the browser used...

So - I cannot comment on IE9, but I still hope this observations are of any use..

Works fine for me with IE9. Maybe try disabling some of your add-ons and see if one of those is the culprit.

No issues using IE9 for me on the forum.  As others have stated, maybe best to disable add-ons to isolate the culprit.

I've had problems as well.

[<font]64 bit here with IE 9. always hangs.

I keep noticing that whenever IE hangs, it says something about a javascript dowebform or something like that. Do others see the same thing in the status bar as well?

I disabled java in the manage add ons and after a few more posts, I'll let you know.

Thanks for all the info...I'll check my settings.  IE8 worked pretty good and my other box with Chrome worked fine as well.  But IE9 is wonky.  I'm posting this message on my office laptop 32 bit xp IE8.  Here goes...

are you guys using 32bit IE9 or 64bit IE9?

I had problems with 64bit IE9 on a lot of websites.

but I also have problems with these forums giving me "no record to display" quite often.  I've been talking to someone at cakewalk about it and they tell me that the IT guys are working on it.

Reece, I have issues with IE 64 because it doesn't have flash and stuff on it. There are beta versions I can run, but I don't really like to run anything "beta" on my systems unless I'm testing a plug or something. Like, I can't see anything on YouTube in 64 IE and get some errors that I'm missing plugins etc from time to time, so I stick with 32 bit IE 9 for now. I also use Crazy Browser which is an awesome alternative to IE that I recommend. It uses IE's engine, but it doesn't have any of the issues we sometimes see in IE. No hangs or crashes ever. Really small too. www.crazybrowser.com for anyone that may be interested in a cool IE alternative.

I'm running the 32bit version of IE9 and I tried disabling all the plug ins, months ago, when IE9 was released to the public in non-beta form, but still got the hangs. Yes, there is a problem with the 64bit version of IE not working with adobe flash, as there is no 64bit version of flash. Freddie H made a big deal of complaing about that, here. LOL If there was a 64bit version of adobe flash, I would be using the 64bit version of IE, though. But there's just so many sites that use adobe flash player that I have to use the 32bit version of IE.

Danny:

Thanks for the info on the crazybrowser. I seem to get by with IE9 and FireFox, but I might try that browser one day. Frankly, I just want IE9 to work for all my browser needs.

Will do Seth, ol pal.

well..something else that might be causing the problems and I find this to be the majority of the problems is I bet you have some mis-behaving plugins that are causing you grief.....esp if one had upgraded from an earlier version of IE to 9 where as before the upgrade those particular plug-ins did not cause grief....

I use IE 9 here without no problems..

I've been having this problem since IE9 came out but never heard that they were problems with the 64bit version.  If this goes through without getting the failing to respond message ...

Hi Jayson,

I'm not sure, maybe remove the 64-bit version from the Task Bar first? I've got it pinned to my Task Bar and Start Menu. But then, I only use it for Outlook Web Access. For the rest I use Chrome, which has auto language translation. :-)
