Surfing the boards with Google Chrome

[peter.nilsson83]

A couple of things won't work correctly when browsing with Chrome.
Can't access my PMs from the forum menu and the quickie search-button won't run as normal either...
Anyone know any solutions? :iloveyou:

Yep, use Internet Explorer! :-)

I've had the same hassle - I think the site isn't geared up to work in Chrome.

The site uses some very old XHTML and JavaScript stuff, which the lesser-known browsers (Chrome and Opera, to name but two) struggle with.

Use either IE8, or Firefox.


Coincidentally, if you've got Windows Vista or 7, using Internet Explorer 8 is actually the safest way to browse the internet (providing you're not a pleb who's disabled UAC)

Else - Firefox + AdBlock Plus for thw win! ;)

Quickie on IE8 - is there a way to shut your browser and preserve your open pages so that they re-open as they do in IE7?

There's only two options in IE8 and they are to shut the pages for good. :-(

IE7Pro (http://www.ie7pro.com/) works well for Session Saving, as well as giving other options such as spell checking etc.

I know it's called IE7Pro, but it works well enough with IE8 too :)

Top stuff! Thank you - I never knew that existed!
