New Forums Sucks with IE9

[Narij]

IE is like blood elves, rogues and alliance

You know they're there and thinking about them won't make it go away?

Lets keep in mind a few things.

The issue is NOT the problem of the forums. The forums work the same on every single browser. The problem is the Theme(s). Think of the forums as the skeleton and the themes as the skin.

I need to know WHICH THEME and WHICH version of IE you guys are experiencing these issues with. If you're having an issue with 1 theme, try another. Do you still have the same issues? different issues? This is the kind of thing that is helpful to troubleshooting the issue.

Why the FUCK are you using IE? The only acceptable answer is that you're tucked away in a 3rd world prison and you use the 30 minutes of internet time a day to come here.

Get a better browser.

For those of you absolutely positively locked down to IE, I'm sorry. Go to Microsoft and complain to them why their shit isn't rendering things right.

In the mean time. Please feel free to leave your issues in a detailed manner and which browser you're using. If it's something I can reproduce and easily fix, I'll hit it like MiRai hits a sushi roll.

mmmm Sushi.

I know where im going for lunch today.

Just to update this a bit...


Blackstealth theme has issues with IE. Not sure if it's even worth spending time fixing it VS finding a different / similar theme. When a theme locks up a browser by submitting a form, I think there's more underlying issues than just some CSS.

Poking around a bit more with the edit box and such, I was able to crash IE twice just by trying to attach a picture via URL. IE wouldn't render the OK/Cancel buttons unless I resized the dialog, whereupon it would hang as per usual.

My problems were with using VB4 Default Style and IE9. The only way I can post to these forums is use Fire Fox. Why were the forums changed from the old ones?

I have the same issue. What I have been doing is saving my post once I finish typing in Notepad, then hit submit, if it locks up I restart IE 9 and then paste my response back.

What you need to do is call vBulletin or post on their troubleshooting forums for vBulletin4 with the issues that your forum users are experiencing. Do you honestly expect to call Microsoft and be like "Uh hur hur hur, vBulletin doesn't work on your shitty IE browser, herp derp". They will laugh their ass off then hang up.

If some programmer writes an app like say...the amazingly shitty iTunes, and complains that their shitty app doesn't run right and blames the OS, has it completely wrong. Microsoft cannot inexorably help all these software developers debug software that they can't write correctly.

This goes back to the whole Vista sucks! front. People couldn't get their devices to work correctly because manufacturers were writing very buggy drivers for the OS. Naturally, it is Microsoft's fault that the OS couldn't handle the poorly written, untested drivers.

If you update to the latest nVidia/ATI driver release and get less FPS, do you call Microsoft and tell them to fix their OS so the drivers work better?

You're missing the point. My post specifically mentioned what the source of the problem was:

The issue is NOT the problem of the forums. The forums work the same on every single browser. The problem is the Theme(s). Think of the forums as the skeleton and the themes as the skin.

It's not a Vb problem. Vb tech supports 1st step would be to revert to the default style. Negating the issues people are having because they're having specific issues with themes that happen with specific browsers.
