New Post Search fails in IE9

[David Luttmann]

They still make IE? No problems in Firefox.

Well, I guess mine is a contrary view. I used Safari for sometime rather than earlier versions of IE. I'm running Win7 on anything but a state of the art system, security S/W up the wazoo, a backup running in the background and IE9 is much faster than Safari. What can I say?

Try GoogleChrome-at least on my Mac it smokes Safari. It is easy to install and will import your bookmarks from most other browsers.

IE9 smokes Chrome. It does it by rendering the page in the graphics hardware, rather than software that other browsers use. I would imagine the next version of Chrome will also feature hardware acceleration. I just don't like the look and feel of Chrome.

Gee, I thought IE9 was supposed to be the most Web standard compliant browser in Microsoft history. I guess not? Any bets there will be a few patches in the immediate future? But then I have a MS-free Mac so it's just a, "Gee, that's nice." for me.

Funny, I have an Apple free Windows machine ... I guess that makes us even.

Just curious if this was an issue with the vBulletin software or not. I'll keep searching. Thanks.

Not on a Mac. Chrome smokes it like it was standing still.

(IE9 won't run on Apple OS.)

OK, everybody, we all realize that there are preferences. Now let's get down to troubleshooting and helping a member find a solution, OK?

For some reason, everytime I do a "New Posts" search in IE9 I get the same result "No new items". To test this, I opened Opera, ran the same query and got more than 10 pages of results.

Check your security and cookie settings. The "New Posts" button is simply a link: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/search.php?do=getnew

So the problem isn't in the forum software, but is most likely in a user-adjustable browser setting. Therefore some cookie is not being set or read by the forum software. Take a look at your settings, or put the forum into a different security category.

This happens to me as well running Google Chrome, it is not an IE9 issue.

As for "my browser can beat up your browser", none of the big browsers are bad, and they really aren't that different.

No - every multitasking OS must intercept attempts to directly access the hardware. The times when you needed graphics cards drivers for each application and created a mess if a TSR drew to the screen in parallel to the main application ended with DOS...
