Hi, Jayho Just a suggestion, as the problem started after you have upgraded to win 8.1, have you installed all the graphic card / network card drivers?
Are you using any firewall / antivirus software that might be preventing you to access some websites or certain features of a webpage? And a silly suggestion - is your PC clock correct? Some sites will not display correctly unless the PC clock is correct (might show that the https certificate has expired or a similar error) Giorgi |

Good points....and made me think (although it �s unlikely) check your settings if you �re using ABP or Privacy Badger. They don �t affect my view of the PMs, but with Microsoft products it might be different.... The other possibility is that adding the site to your compatibility list has switched on javascript for this website in that browser. Try toggling javascript settings in the other browsers and see what happens. It �s subjective, I know, but I honestly think that in general, Firefox is a better browser and if that emulator works, then you are sorted. Hey isn �t the upgrade to W10 free? That might be worth thinking about too. But back up first! :-)) |

Thank you Tap and Gi2Gi for your suggestions. - I checked out that IE View add on in FF - looks good so installed it
- Clock fine as is firewall stuff
- I�ve had 8.1 for a long time (more than 1 year) but only started encountering problems in the last six weeks. In fact, I hadn�t done any updates ever so I did that and there were 160 essential ones! That�s when my problems really kicked in (I had had some problems prior)
- Tried the java on Chrome and FF but no change
- I�m going to stick with 8.1 until my next computer - it took me ages to learn how to navigate around Win8 and I was so thankful when 8.1 resembled more of Win7. I can wait for Win10.
BUT, I do have good news! I wrote that all my PMs were gone, however there was actually one very new PM but the formatting was weird and there was no option to reply or delete in IE11, Chrome, FF or on my Samsung tablet. When I added this site to the compatibility list in IE11, all my PMs came back in IE11 (but not in Chrome/FF/tablet) and this one strange one looked just like what we see in the forum and cafe when it gets blocked - all skewiff. But there was now a delete option in IE11. So I have now deleted it and hey presto, I can now see all my PMs in Chrome, FF and on my tablet! I�m a happy little vegemite! Cheers Jayho |
