Thank you all for the feedback. I will look into all the issues mentioned and see what I can do.

I've also had it two or three times plus another page which advises of an "encoding error".

Hi Julia, this appears to be an issue with Firefox only. Are you using the latest version of Firefox (36.0)?

I am running Firefox v36, have had that window pop up once but it disappeared after a few seconds and then the page loaded.
Didn't have that pop up with v35.

I'm still sitting on Firefox 35.0.1
And I haven't seen those error pages either.

Firefox is downloading the update now. We'll see how it goes. If need be, I'll reset.

Yes, Firefox, sorry don't know what version.

Yes, Firefox, sorry don't know what version.

Click on Help and then "About Firefox".
Not only will that show you the version, but it will also tell you whether it's time to download and install a new upgraded version.

Thanks, pixel.

Good evening all!

My apologies for that 30 minutes of downtime ASF just had. I'm not quite sure what caused it, but everything seems to back to normal now.

Might just be a problem my end but ASF is not working properly on Internet Explorer. Pages don't load completely and IE hangs and crashes. Other sites are still working fine for me using IE. I'm posting this from Chrome where ASF seems to be working O.K.

I've dumped IE years ago.
No problem with Firefox, except when there's a global glitch or a problem with my ISP.

Same my end
Ok on I Phone

I received a similar report this morning from another ASF member using IE and I think it's safe to say that whatever the issue is, it is clearly IE related.

I'll look into it, but would like to suggest that ASF members using IE consider moving to another browser. Both Chrome and Firefox are solid browsers and support for IE is only going to get worse once Microsoft's new browser is released later this year.

As you know Joe it was me this morning reporting in with the same problem as others.

All websites and other forums I've went to and even ASF main forum page all worked perfectly until I clicked onto a thread/post in ASF, then it just kept spinning and not loading completely.

I took Joe's advice and changed to Firefox and all is ok now and all works fine. It a little different but anyway, I've now moved on to a new browser and so be it.

Q: Joe ... Since IE all works fine elsewhere as seems to be the case with others, except in ASF threads what is the real problem? Does it take more work your end to keep it compatible with IE rather than Firefox or Chrome?

In the last few years, almost every serious browser related issue has been IE related. Chrome and Firefox seem to be better supported, more robust browsers. I'm not sure I remember ASF ever having an issue specific to either Firefox or Chrome.

Wow, people still use IE...

I've been a FireFox user for eons now, but admit even it has trouble from time to time, especially the plugins.

Yeah, whenever I have to use IE7 for a government or bank site that demands it - I feel like :bricks1:
I like to run Firefox for my trading platform (Chrome has java issues) and Chrome for ASF and other websites.
I have a pretty consistent experience with ASF on chrome, any issues that I have ever had have been site wide rather than browser specific and have been rectified quickly...

 

[Joe Blow]

I think (hope?) the issue with IE has now been resolved. If those using IE are still experiencing any difficulties while browsing ASF please let me know.
