Anyone Else Having Probs With FT on IE
Hi All
Not very technical but was just wondering if anyone else has been having similar problems. I usually use IE for my web browsing and hence this is the browser most commonly used when I come on to FT. I usually frequent the BA FT board and add my tuppence worth if the subject is something I have experience with.
A few weeks ago I was going to throw some info into the ring and logged on to my account. Every time I pressed the submit reply button, FT would log me out and require me to log back in and my reply would have disappeared into the never never. Even trying to log in and contact support would end up with the same result. I gave up after four or five times and logged in via Firefox which was no problem.
The same has happened this morning and have again had to revert to Firefox to log in.
I haven't changed any settings and when logging in select the remember me box but it still forgets me
.
Anyone else experienced this or similar?

For goodness sake, get rid of the kludge that is IE. Switch to Firefox or Chrome, and add the ....... addon and/or Ghostery, and spend half as much time waiting for pages to load.

I have got the ....... installed (strangely it doesn't seem to be working on Firefox) and don't seem to have many problems usually with IE. Suppose just used to working with IE. So any insight as to what the problem may be?
Edit: Just installed ....... on Firefox...Didn't realise you had to do it seperatley....Dooohhhhhh
Cheers

My solution to problems like these involves deleting cookies, specifically if possible, shutting down the browser completely, or even rebooting the computer.

Works fine for me on IE 11 (Win 8.1). What OS + version of IE are you using? Maybe some of the IB staff folks can help you out.

I can't even get onto FT on my work computer anymore - haven't been able to in over two weeks. I have to use IE as some programs we use conflict with other browsers so switching browsers isn't an option for me. I just don't read FT as much as I did previously.
