IE11: Problems Using MSE

Davesnave

This morning my computer decided to download & install IE11.

Now I find smilies on MSE only work if I cut & paste. When I inserted a Tinypic code, a huge empty space appeared above and below the picture.

I don't think the problems and the download are unrelated.

Anyone else finding similar problems?

Yes, I have problems.


No smileys, no quote button, sometimes the cursor vanishes.


And no one on here has come up with a solution other than use another browser.


Which is not a solution to the problem on why IE11 does that.

Several other people have reported the same. vBulletin, the forum software, is known for having problems with more recent versions of IE. Short of a forum software upgrade by MSE (or backported fix), I haven't yet seen any way around the IE11 issues.

May be worth reporting to MSE and/or posting on site feedback, as least so the MSE team are aware of how many people are coming up against this.

Any way to remove IE11 and go back to IE10.


There is no remove option in Windows 8.1. add remove programs.

IE11 is integrated into 8.1, prior IE versions are not compatible

I've been rejected from a few surveys , recently, due to the browser not being compatible .

I did have smilies problems, until someone pointed out the little button that's top right in the dialogue box.

the problem i have had since updating is, if i am searching on a google page and want to go back to a previous page, the first click of the mouse takes me to a blank page, i have to click the mouse again to go back to the page i was looking for. is there a solution to this?

Thanks for the replies.


Someone has just sent me a v. important PDF and I cant seem to download that either. I get a message bubble saying "save to my computer" but it doesn't and there's no choice of where to save it.

Think I will do a roll back to Monday. :mad:

Moral: use a mainstream browser (Chrome, for example) rather than niche stuff like IE.

Well I never. I'd never taken any notice of that Switch Editor Mode button but it certainly does get around the current problem
