Can't Post Using IE

[Guest ADKR]

I am able to post in this and other MS newsgroups but only when using the

Firefox browser. When I use IE and click on new question it just reloads the

current page and not the new question page. I shut off pop-up blocker, tried

holding down the CTRL key, but cannot seem to make it work. Thanks for the

ideas.

perhaps, using outlook

express via the link above

will make your posting

experience a bit more

enjoyable.

I am hesitant to click on your like because of the way it looks. I cannot

afford to welcome a problem into my already cranky system.

Thanks PA Bear. You have been a real help to me recently. I am somewhat

amused that there isn't and IE solution and that Firefox works fine. I still

feel like we are on the frontier sometimes.

Try using a proper newgroup program instead of the www hack.

I'm not sure you got someones suggestion. You are trying to use a web

browser and you should be using a news reader program. Like outlook

express, thunderbird, and a slew of others. IE 6 or 7 or Firefox

were not written for newsgroups. You can but shouldn't?

Don't use ANY web browser to access newsgroups - use a newsreader (such as

Outlook Express).

 

Symptom gone.

RE: Can't Post Using IE

 

I take it that you are using IE7.

 

Have you tried using Add

/Remove Programs to remove it.

 

That goes back to an earlier version.

 

You can then download and install IE7 again.

 

It works for me, so it must be corrupt on your PC.
