Outdated Browser Warning

[LSaupe]

O.K. I have updated to Explorer 8.0, but still keep getting the warning. Anyone else have this problem?

Also, even though it shows me as signed in, I still have to sign back in every time I try to make or reply to a thread (even though I click on log me in every time).

Anyone else have these issues or is it just me?

I had that yesterday. I updated and it all went to heck then this morning I had something saying there was a patch so I started that and now all is fine.

I must note I'm a complete computer idiot and most of the time have no idea what I'm doing but it seams to work.

Mine seems ok

Spent hrs with various AOL techs on this (what a frustrating experience). Only happens when going through AOL for some reason (even though I have the new browser). When I ping a site when going through AOL it says I am using Explorer 7 (even though it doesnt even reside on my machine anymore). When I access directly outside of AOL (direct using Explorer all is well, pinged sites then indicate the proper Explorer 8.

Anyone out there using AOl and Explorer 8 been able to resolve this?

Yes, AOHELL is based off IE7 even if they say its IE8 compliant.

I would get away from AOL myself unless your using it for dial up, Even then I would just dial in then use FireFox or IE8. I myself prefer firefox.

I will fix it though so you can close the warning if you get it and dont want to update.

Hippie I started to use fire fox and it seams fine but how do you open another window. With explorer there was a small box next to where it said what site you are on and you can click on that to open another window. Like I said I'm a idiot.

[Hippie459MN]

You can either goto file and then open tab or goto View, Toolbars, Customize. Then when that opens you will see an icon for new tab, Just click and drag it to the browser somewhere and it will add the open new tab button to the browser.

Here is what mine looks like (Custom theme so your icon will look differrent)


Hope that helps.

When I use AOL its crazy but if I use Firefox all is good but Im always on AOL so I put up with it and just log on again

Well, The outdated browser thing was causing some conflict with something so its gone. There were a few people that were PMing me having a few issues and a browser update fixed em so I though I would just let everyone know to update there browsers if they had an older one.

So please make sure your running the latest version of whatever browser you prefer and you should be A-OK.
