Is anyone else having trouble with Internet Explorer on this site? The last couple of months, I will be looking through the site, searching for books, reading reviews, or reading the boards and suddenly I can't navigate any further. The only place Internet Explorer will let me go is to a completely different site. I thought it was just my computer, but found the same thing happens when I use the computer at work. I'm just wondering if I'm the only person this is happening to. I sometimes use Modzilla at home and the site seems to work with it. At work Internet Explorer is my only option.

I use IE and haven't had that type of problem. |

Robin, I have the same problem here. Try going into the Community 'Top 50's' and clicking there on anything. It is the absolute hardest thing to do on here. |

Top 50 gives me trouble, too, Connie. Other than that, I dont have much trouble with IE and PBS, though the Team does recommend FF. |

Yup, I've been having issues as well with the second-newest IE version -- at work, we have the older one, and hubby's computer has the newest one, and my laptop has the one in between. No problems with the first 2, multiple "hang-ups" with my laptop's version. Sorry I'm not savvy enough to know what the names of all of the versions are! |

I moved to firefox for this site and I no longer experience any problems. I keep IE 7 on my desktop for other sites that I have to use for business. IE 7 is stable and IE8 has a lot of compatibility problems especially with other Microsoft products. IMO, stay with IE7 until Microsoft releases a few updates for IE8. If you don't mind having 2 browsers on your desktop I would download FireFox. Good Luck |

Sorry to jinx you Jeanne. LOL Jubead - I tried IE8 for a while and hated it. I finally found a link somewhere where I could go back to IE7. It runs much better on other sites but I still have problems with paperbackswap. I don't know what version of IE we run at work. I've used IE for this site since I joined in 2005. Firefox seems to be the way to go for now. It's just so slow opening up...probably my old computer. Robin

I was having the same problem with this site and someone suggested trying Firefox. I did and have not had a problem since. I have found that it is also faster than IE. |

I have both Firefox and Internet Explorer on my computer and will switch back and forth. Sometimes with IE I can't click on links or if I am suppose to fill in information, I can't click on it...while firefox is fine. |

This is the only site I have major problems with - periodically. Last week it was great, this week I have to constantly shut down IE and restart. It's pretty annoying because I always have several windows open, not just this site. I don't know if it's cause and effect, but I seem to have better luck on the pages that don't have the "add this" whatever stuff on them, but it's really a moot point because you can't navigate around that way. I now know better than to try the Top 50 anything, but many times after looking at a shelf, I can't leave to go back to a forum or anywhere else, and simply closing the site window and reopening it won't work for me, if I do that, I eventually get a message that the site can't be found. Unfortunately, it does cause me to come here a little less, sometimes I just don't have time to mess with it or don't feel like relogging in to all the other sites I have open as well. |
