 Hello, Long time member here. Firefox causes endless troubles for about the last year here, & I can't even get on Cakewalk with Internet Explorer. I'm using Win XP for this on-line rig,[but not my DAW rig]. Having been here since Sonar 6 Studio, and now up to Sonar X2 Producer, I will want to be back & forth with questions for some & answers for others. But it's frustrating when I can't preview my posts, nor space out my lines, etc. etc. Everything is just one big long sentence. Any suggestions? Thanks

Firefox 3.6 works flawlessly with the Cakewalk forums.

None of the other browsers, including new versions of Firefox can claim that. You always have to tweak this, torque that, live with this, live with that.

Get it here.

I have XP with IE8 and I have absolutely no problems on these forums.

Where you will see problems with IE8 is with zooming in and out on the web page. Sometimes it will make your text formatting bar vanish.

FWIW I've never been able to get IE8 to work if I zoomed or not.

I'm now using Firefox 15.0.1 with IETab 2.2.0.1 and it seems to be working fine... I used 5.0 forever to avoid issues but at last I'm free! ;-)

Thanks Buds, I tried to install IE8 and had some troubles. I waited & waited while it did it's updates only to stop & have me manually do an update, which then said the file was invalid. I thought that was rather humorous since Windows pointed me to the 'correct' missing update file, & then told me that their Windows update file was 'invalid'. Also, many months ago, I did the Firefox earlier version thing, only to have it update itself in a matter of a day or so, and put me right back to square '1'. Can I override this problem?

Google Chrome is a good option also; works fine on the forum.

+1 for Chrome. Never had a forum problem suing it.

Yeah, Google Chrome user here on Win7. Zero problems, and I visit a lot of forums. Have yet to see a glitch here on the Sonar forum.

Yes, you have to go in to Tools, Options, Advanced, Update, and uncheck the update FF box.

You can also have multiple versions of FF on your system, but not running at the same time.
