Problem with Internet Explorer

[vintage hunter]

Been having the same problems. I'm catching it two ways, in addition to the IE malfunctions the at&t take over of alltel is causing even more problems with my wireless service. Well at least I know now the new 'puter ain't got brain damage. I was about ready to stick a shoot n see on it and head to the range for a bit of target practice.

Working ok today

I'm having trouble with this site myself today, all other forums viewed are ok, but this one seems to be in widescreen and with no lateral adjustment. Tried dropping down to 75% but still makes no difference

Oh what a relief to know it wasn't just my computer!

My PC showed exactly the same symptoms yesterday. Plus the headers were overlapping each other. No other program showed this effect, and after switching off, making a cup of tea, and switching on again*, it was suddenly all back to normal. Weird!

*and it wasn't the first time that I experiencd this effect. Previously I thought it was a defect in my setup, but now...

Playing up again.......bugger.

Is it ok now?

Sometimes the web page style gets corrupted from so much activity ...

I think I fixed it... make sure you clear your local cache on your browser, so you're seeing a new refreshed page version and not an old local cached page on your end.

It's faster to reply to this thread than try to start another:

I'm having problems connecting to this site (not any others) and I use Safari. Just getting into the site at all takes several minutes. Clicking on a thread, ditto. I find the gunboards pages load quite slowly, but they do get there in the end. The last day or two here is really quite frustrating, often the site just hangs up and sits there, going nowhere.

My IE crashed took outlook with it as well wiping almost 8 years of stored e mails I had stored with various knowledge e mail items I run GC now no probs with any sites but am stuck with bigpond e mail system and compared to Outlook it is about as useful and user friendly as an ashtray on a motorbike doing 100mph or a cat in a fish shop with a full stomach!

Hi Steve...

It sounds like you've got a severe restriction in the bandwidth being delivered between your location and your ISP (Internet Service Provider), who then connects from their location out to a larger Internet backbone.

Have you tried running a speed test to see what performance your ISP is giving you? Here's an example..

Bell Canada Internet Speed Test

You can use this test for ANY Internet provider service..

I use Bell's DSL service, which is all that's available where I live and it's rated at 6 Mb. Here's an example of my most current test.

Our system software identifies you as running on Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and using Safari 6.2 for a Mac as well. I personally run OSX El Capitan 10.11.1 with Safari 9.0.1 for the Mac and it performs very well. I also use FireFox 42.0 for the Mac with good results.
