I can't post on threads

I'm using Microsoft Internet explorer, and I can see the box and type in it, but when I try to preview or post, nothing happens.

How can this be fixed?

Bizarrely, I can't post on my local site (Edinburgh) but can on all other parts of the site Shock

I've had to go back to Firefox. And still having lots of problems. It's very very slow. I have to keep changing backwards and forwards.

Yay! At last! I have spent all week trying to post on messages and so much of my wisdom has been lost due to not being able to send my messages and having to give up Grin

lookout · 08/11/2013 16:00

Is mine working now?

I have to keep doing the F12 thing... I can tell as soon as the main talk topics page loads... if the page doesn't load correctly, I have to F12-it.

Small price to pay for Mumsnet.

The only problem is I have to keep doing the F12 thing
Me too. Preferably before trying to post 'cos if you forget and try to post and then do the F12 thing you find you have lost all your words of wisdom!

ABS starting this thread was brilliant - I just assumed as I couldn't post, I wouldn't be able to start a thread either!

Oh Chipping, if I could have posted I would have told you.

I thought it was work or something, being all "get off MN and do stuff" in a subtle way.

Oh now that is really strange. At first I thought I would have no luck because I am still on XP and my 'compatibility view' doesn't even have IE9 in it. It has IE7, IE8 and IE8 Compatibility.

IE8 Compatibility was selected so I changed it to IE8 and...

... ta dah!!

Have I told you lately that I love you???

I have been exchanging emails with MN for days about this - no joy.

It would have been nice if they'd have pointed me in the direction of this thread yesterday!!

Still - happy happy happy happy to be back Grin

I had to change IE9 compatability to plain IE9, thanks CanadianJohn xxx
