valandian Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Hi, I've recently reformated my P.C. & I have decided (I'm guessing against everyones advice here) to go back to using explorer 6. I used to use this before the reformat & had no problems but one seems to have cropped up now. A couple of web forums that I visit on a regular basis dont seem to highlight the thumbnail attatchments when I click them, I'm pretty sure this is not down to the page script because I had no problems before I reformatted. Is there anything I can do about this because it's really frustrating. Thanks in advance valandian Quote
RandyL Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 If we can view a page that you mean we can check it against IE7 or IE8 or Firefox or some other browser. I'm not sure what you mean about "thumbnail attatchments" though. But as you noted you really should update IE for security reasons. You can always customize it to make it work almost exactly like IE6 just by turning off a few features. Quote We are all members helping other members.

valandian Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 I'm not sure what you mean about "thumbnail attatchments" though. But as you noted you really should update IE for security reasons. You can always customize it to make it work almost exactly like IE6 just by turning off a few features. They are just thumbnail pictures that when clicked would open up in a new window. They used to indicate they had just been opened by "dotting" round them or turning the boarders a different colour. I have tried about 8 or 9 different browsers & they all cause me a headache. IE8 is soooo slow to open multiple windows which I do because the websites servers are so slow that by the time I've opened the last pic the 1st one is about ready to view. If that makes sense ? I've tried everything to speed it up but to no avail. Hope that clarifies a few things & thanks. Quote
valandian Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 Infact, this forum itself gives me a simular issue in that the links do not change colour when clicked. All my preferences are right because it works perfectly on different sites and forums. Quote
