Loaded IE9 a few days ago...same problems as others, no surpirse there. Based on other's comments, I downloaded and installed Google Chrome---wow, what a dissapointment---now nothing works---I can open and read the communty entries on TDP, but nothing else. No "reply" button, no RTF link, not even a cancel link. On top of that, all of the responses are in the opposite order that I have selected on TDP. Google has a long way to go before they get my vote---still one IE fan out there--even if its IE8.

P.S. Had to post this using IE. Uninstalling Chrome for the second time now.

Have you tried Firefox yet?

Thanks for the feedback - glad you are not having problems. I'm having strange text-editing and mouse-related issues in both IE 9 and FF 4.

Hi Bryan...


I'm experiencing the same issues, in particular via the *Use rich
formatting* option. Just now I am unable to post an entry without
obtaining the *Stay on Page or Leave Page* warning via IE9, however;
Opera seems to function fine.

Yes, i noticed too some malfunctions. And i noticed them 1 or 2 month ago, when i was using FF 3.6.*.


Cursor dissapears in rich formatting.


Color of text sometimes is gray by default and it is hard to change it.


And some text in the posts looks out of bounds and looks mixed with web page parts.

I've had no problems using Chrome, and I've been running it since the day it came out. At work I use a mix of Firefox and Chrome. In fact the only complaints I've heard, prior to Bob's, were from Firefox users who missed their favorite ad-blocking plugins.

This has been my experience, too. VERY surprised to hear of Bob's issues with Chrome. I use it everywhere, on every machine I come into contact with at work or at home, and have never seen this stuff.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.


Rocco - I hope your boss doesn't read this thread! []But thanks for the information.


IE 9 compatibility mode seems to work fine - thanks for that suggestion.


I do have access to a Windows server, so ifI can locate the hotfix, I can apply it.

I've always used Ad Blocker Plus for FF and still do in FF4. I did have to download the latest version when I upgraded to FF4.





As far as the disappearing cursor goes, I found that if you click outside the text editor and then back in it again the cursor will reappear. Other problems such as Cut and Paste with a click of the mouse isn't really a problem because you also have the Copy, Cut and Paste buttons(icons) available with the browser. All you have to do is customize your tool bar and put them there. And lastly the Firefox spell check probably doesn't work because the spell checker in the text editor here does. The spell checker here might not work automatically on the fly but it still works. Other than that I've found FF4 is still faster than IE9. and IMHO better than Chrome. I tried Chrome before and didn't like it, maybe it was too simplistic and still incompatible with other web sites and functions I use regularly.
