Internet Explorer 9 DOESN'T Work Here

[Tweety Bird]

Try using the alternative version of the post editor.

But please, please, do not look to me to "fix the sites problem". It is NOT a site problem. If you use IE9 and sites don't work, do me a favor, call microsoft, and politely tell them to "fuck off". I'll put it in nuts and bolts terms for you. Everyone else makes either metric or standard bolts. These would be firefox, chrome, opera, etc. Microsoft makes triangular shaped nuts that are in-between metric or standard sizes, but somehow it's your sockets fault that you can't get the nut off .

Sure, all the tool manufacturers could make all their sockets in triangle shapes in sizes like 9.666mm, 11.437mm, and you could get those Microsoft triangles off so you could swap hardware, but then it would be a pretty useless socket set.

Well, I've had exactly the same problem as FF. I quoted this post, and typed in my response, and the quote was all that got put up.

I've since switched back to IE8 as well, and it's working again (witness the way I can now edit this post).

You know, not all of us are computer geniuses. Not all of us are computer geeks or nerds, either. I, for one, spend my work day USING a computer but I no longer have any desire at all to know how the shit works behind the scenes; I'll leave THAT for you younger folks. But the most of the responses to the OP are not a lot of help. Largely, they're simply a swipe at MS (deservedly or not, I'm not going to judge), a defensive response, somebody with the "mine is better than yours" mentality, or blaming it on the operator (when many of us operators have no idea that it might be a simple security setting or, for that matter, how to turn the goddamn thing off).

How about a simple suggestion, such as "Uninstall the IE8 upgrade". Or, something like, "Google Chrome works for me". But most of the replies here were worthless. And it's one of the reasons I spend less time every day on the internet because I get tired of dealing with the "experts" out there who seem to expect everyone else to be an expert, too (unless, of course, somebody else's opinion is different from the said "expert").
