IE8

Stinkerbell · July 11, 2009, 12:10:00 AM

Well, is it safe to download yet? Window's Updates is really pushing it on me.

C~M · July 11, 2009, 01:59:47 AM

I've had it forever with no problems,

jarjar · July 11, 2009, 02:41:11 AM

A few months with it here for me and I do not really see a difference. Good luck if you do stinky

Works fine now in Windows7 with latest Java update, having no problems

Stinkerbell · July 11, 2009, 08:36:48 AM

Thanks for the information. Does it automatically update Java for you?

Even Twitter wants me to update to IE8.

I have not tried it either, but since everyone else seems to have no problems with it, I will try it out.

Of course, the only reason I have held out is that I do not want to mess up the function of my cheat programs!

That's EXACTLY why I haven't "upgraded" to IE8, either. If 7 works, why change? But like I said, with every update it's there, waiting, calling to me, taunting me...daring me to download it. Ok, perhaps that's a bit dramatic, but still...

I have recently downloaded IE8 & im not having any problems with it. But i sure did like my IE6 better. It had less stuff to figure out & now i have a toolbar with yahoo & other things across top, which i dont like. Its hard for me to explain, ss.

jarjar · July 11, 2009, 02:37:02 PM

I know about the toolboars missy. Wish I could explain how to get rid of it. Someone did it for me. Maybe someone here can tell ya where to go to get rid of that.

Go to : View / Toolbars

You should be able to disable whatever you want in there.

Thanks for the help for Missy Mayhem

You can also just right click an empty part of the toolbar and uncheck the box for yahoo and others you don't want.

twinkle6590 · July 11, 2009, 09:02:12 PM

I have had IE8 for months and i have windows vista and havent had any issues at all. I honestly dont really notice a difference but nothings conflicted with it either.

C~M · July 11, 2009, 10:14:26 PM

you can also goto add/remove programs and delete the toolbars completly there

There seems to be an issue regarding Chat with IE 8. This is from Pogo's HELP:
<i>
Because Internet Explorer 8 is a Beta Release Candidate at the moment, Internet Explorer 8 is not yet an official Pogo supported browser. Although, you might be able to access some features of Pogo (such as certain games) in Internet Explorer 8, other features might not always work as well as with supported browsers.

One of the known issues running Pogo on Internet Explorer 8 is some players' inability to use a fully functional chat (they can only send emoticons). To fix this issue, we recommend running Internet Explorer 8 in <b>'Compatibility Mode'. </i></b>

It goes on to explain how to do this but it is one of the reasons I got rid of 8 and went back to 7.

Since I been running Windows 7 for the last few months, which is rock solid and what Vista should have been, you have to run IE8. I had issues with IE8 in the beginning but only with Pogo and had to use compatibility but since last version of Java I no longer have to do so. Everything in Pogo works fine including chat. Pogo needs to do some work on this to straighten out their issues. I only need to run compatibility in the 64bit IE8 because there is no Java support for that.

who me? · July 12, 2009, 05:41:39 AM

I'm still stuck in ancient mode, I still have ie 6
I like it and it works so I see no reason right now to change it. I know eventually I will have too, but I like the way it's set up and I know I will miss it once it's gone so I'm enjoying it while I can.

Is anyone having issues in the forum with IE8?

C~M · July 12, 2009, 08:02:21 AM
