Please read if you use Internet Explorer to browse Mumsnet

Just to confirm that Mumsnet is not working in IE right now - so if you're getting weird spaces and it all looks wrong, that's why. Techs are being hassled asked every few minutes if it is fixed. We'll let you know as soon as they've fixed the pesky problem. For now, please use Firefox. The link to download it for free is www.firefox.com

Ok, bit of an update for you: Most of the Internet Explorer glitches have now been fixed (hurrah!) but there are some the Techs are still tearing their hair out over grappling (wo)manfully with.

These are:

  1. The Home page still looks skewy.
  2. You still can't add a Local listing.
  3. Talk threads get big white spaces in them if someone with a long nickname posts.

We do think that's all but do let us know if you're having any other problems.

Obviously, we're working hard to try to fix all of these. But, in the meantime, you should find using Firefox or Safari (if you can) will sort everything out for you.

Hello! You should now be able to post a new Local listing in Internet Explorer 7

IE6 is still not playing ball, though

We're still on the case with the other stuff...

Can we quote you? "A typical day in the life of a Mumnsetter"

Hi Pixel (and others): yes, it does look, infortunately, as if changes in Customise are not 'sticking' in IE. Sorry about that. We will keep trying to fix it but fear it may take a while. If you're able to switch to Firefox or Safari, it'll definitely help.

Mrs Weasley Tech is hanging his head in despair - or at least he would be, if we hadn't let him out for the weekend for good behaviour.
PS: The Home page is really rather nice, you know. You can see if the threads you're on have made the 'Discussions of the day' and find out which threads are 'Most active' at the moment.

Oh, we do care, thumbwitch Do have a little look round one day: Home page is very pretty and there's lots of new MNetters-inspired info in our Pregnancy, Conception, Babies and Toddlers section up there ^

Got me bang to rights, Mrs Weasley

No, it's not known, blueshoes.

Hang on, let me have a go and see if it's working from our end.

It's working for us in Firefox and Safari. Tech's going to have look (when he's got a sec) to see if it's working in Internet Explorer

Blueshoes, it's working in Explorer, too, we think.

In Customise, are you clicking on the topic you want to exclude, then clicking on 'Move selected to Excluded'?
