Ever since I started using IE9 the Cakewalk forum has been giving me trouble...

IT did it again when I posted this OP... then I get a box saying windows is checking bal blah.. then it posts or refreshes.

That's really strange Julien....
I switched to IE9 at home and it took a slight adjustment to using the the tabs, but I find it much faster when loading websites and general internet usage.
I never had any issues with the Cakewalk forum....check the Computers forum as there was a thread about this.....sorry to hear that.

maybe it is this particular forum software

Hmmmm, Might have something to do with the forum software sucking.


Ed?

o i 86'ed ie 9 fast..did a system restore and got rid of service pack one as well..now life is okay

 
I tried instaling the 32bit browser. I did a little reading online and it was easy. You can use both. You just right click on the desktop, create a new shortcut and paste this in the box:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
then click finish.
 
We will see how it works. I too rolled back ie9 soon after instaling it then I decided to try it again. I think I am getting used to it. I also found out while reading that Comcast does not support the 64bit browser... so that could be part of it. They need to get up to speed.
 
Why did you lose SP1? I haven't noticed any problems from it, that I know of. Is there something I should be aware of?
 
Thanks,
Julien

Does the browser have a compatibility mode as well? It should look like a broken page thing at the top where the site is ID'ed.. That might aid the dang thing a little...

Ah yes, fast posting. It was really slow to respond when posting with ie9. Now it is back to quick, with no problem.

nothing wrong with sp1...i didnt like ie9 at all..and im running so good right now i just dont want to take a chance of updating to sp1..i will eventually when i feel like i may beneifit.

That's what I thought...I heard about there being a lot of issues with it, mostly compatibility issue with various forums and such...on one train forum I'm on the posting page came up bereft of any of the bolding or anything..had to <> the lot...

Have your considered Firefox? I don't install IE when re doing OS for over a year now, I don't miss it. Once in a while Firefox will release a buggy update but `99% of the time all is good. 

i just decided to upgrade to ie9 and am having this same exact issue
anyone have any helpful suggestions?

I've been using IE9 for a long time and have never had the problem you're describing.

At least you guys can change versions.

I installed IE8 and all indications on the computer is that I'm using IE8
but I'm constantly having sites telling me I'm using outdated IE6 and
should upgrade.
Then the frustration is rather than get a solution I get a workaround- use Firefox or something
else.

IE 9.0.8 here. Yes, I can type into the text box, but the box above that with the options to format text or insertl links or pictures is just empty. When I want to use the forum with those options I need to connect with Google Chrome.

you probably don't have your zoom level set to 100%.  if you have it at anything other than 100% it will not show the buttons.
