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?

RebeccaMumsnet · 04/11/2013 17:01

You most certainly haven't - Tech are aware of this and are looking into it at the moment.

Apologies all

Well in that case lies through my teeth Yy, you have been banned Wink Grin

Hi all,

Were you using Internet Explorer when it wasn't working?

KateSMumsnet · 06/11/2013 10:53

Hullo all,

Thanks for all your patience. We realise that this must be vair annoying. Tech haven't been able to replicate the problem yet, so as an interim solution, we'd suggest using an alternative browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.

We have a special mission from Tech, should you chose to accept it, that could help us figure out what's happening in IE.

When you open IE, in the bar below the address bar, there's a Tools tab. Click this, and then go down to F12 developer tools (or you could hit F12, as I've just figured out)

This will bring up a box at the bottom of your screen. Choose the "Console" tab. Then, when you next try to post on Mumsnet and it's not letting you, could you take a screen shot of what's happen in the console box at the bottom of the screen, and send it to [email protected]? The have a Brew

Have attached some pics to hopefully make this a bit clearer. Do keep us updated on what's happening, and we'll try to get this sorted asap Flowers

Aha! Thanks to your diligent screenshottage (new verb), Tech think they've cracked it.

If you go into the Developer box, as explained above, in the tool bar there'll be a box that says "Browser mode" - this need to be set to IE9.

This should allow you to post again - could you have a bash at this and let us know how you get on? Shout if you get stuck.

Callooh Callay! Thanks for the update CanadianJohn!

KateSMumsnet · 12/11/2013 12:38

Hurrah, glad it's all working(ish)!

Chipping - could've sworn we mailed you about this, but clearly we must not have - v sorry about that!

Not sure about that whole "resetting" thing, will see if Tech have any pearls of wisdom.

KateSMumsnet · 12/11/2013 13:00

Right, have consulted with the mighty Tech and apparently you can get around it by disabling compatibility mode.

This handy article explains it far better than I could, so have a bash and shout if you're still stuck.

KateSycoraxMumsnet · 21/11/2013 10:36

So everyone sorted-ish?

AmyMumsnet · 03/12/2013 10:43

Hi everyone,

Sorry that it seemed to have gone wonky again. Tech think they've fixed it now - is anyone still having problems?
