I/E Error?

[muwarrior69]

OK guys, I graduated in 1969 and somewhat Java challenged. So if I upgrade to IE8 this should solve my problem? I googled IE8 and I am somewhat confused. If I download the IE8 should I download it from the microsoft site or the google site. Also, this is not a beta version of IE8 is it? One more thing, when I do upgrade will I loose all my favorites? Thanks.

@muwarrior69:  Head over to this link to the microsoft website.  There's an orange <download now> button on the page that should kick off a straight-forward download process for you.  You'll have to enter your locale and which operating system you're running, but everything after that should be taken care of for you

For now, I'm agreeing with MS, upgrade to 8, or use FF

(I'm not really agreeing with MS, but it is their bug.  Hopefully we'll be upgrading to SMF 2.0 this off-season, and I'm hoping they'll have better methods of customizing the site.  The current custom theme stuff is a bit clunky)

I'm 100% with you.

I admin a 1.x SMF forum as well, and I'm in the same boat as you.  Luckily we're able to assume that our user base is a little more technical so we can call them nasty names if they're using IE in the first place

When I click on the download button it asks do you want to run or save. Which should I pick.

Never mind. I just clicked run and it (IE8) installed just fine. So far no errors returning to the various threads. Everyone who has IE7 should switch to FF or upgrade to IE8.

Good to hear!
