How come I can't access Fluther with Internet Explorer?

Asked by SQUEEKY2 (23475points) February 9th, 2014

I can’t seem to access Fluther using Internet Explorer, it keeps saying it’s over capacity, but it’s fine on any other browser I try?

Internet Explorer is a POS. Ditch it.

I flip back and forth between IE and Firefox.

I haven’t used Internet Explorer regularly since they introduced tabbed browsing back in 2006. I do try every new version but nothing about any of them impresses me enough to use it over Firefox or Chrome.

Have you tried clearing out your cache and cookies?

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@Seaofclouds How does one go about doing that on IE?

Seaofclouds's avatar

@SQUEEKY2 I don’t remember anymore. I haven’t used IE in a while. I think it depends on which version of IE you are using. I hate to tell someone to google it, but you can do a search for how to clear cookies on IE and it should give you some instructions. Hopefully someone else more familiar with IE will be able to help you out. Sorry.

It should be under “Tools” in IE. I’ve been getting that message still at times in Chrome and have to reboot to get Fluther to work.

@janbb I have no problem on any other browser just IE.

I was getting that message with Safari earlier today.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@Judi see and Safari has givin me no trouble at all, just IE all the other browsers seem to be just fine, at least in my neck of the woods.

@Seaofclouds I found it in IE and still made no difference.

What @flip86 said. I just tried to access the site through IE and it went through fine.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@livelaughlove21 I cleared all my cookies and cache in IE and it seems to work fine now.

Last one to leave IE, please close the browser behind you when you leave.

janbb's avatar

I actually think the recent versions of IE work fine and I am using all three of the major ones.

janbb's avatar

@rexacoracofalipitorius I have IE and Firefox usually open at the same time at work; mainly use Chrome at home.

Paradox25's avatar

Actually I have more problems with other browsers, such as google chrome, in trying to access here and other sites. My computer froze up on me while responding to a post, until I switched back to Explorer 7.

@janbb It was silly of me to ask… I have Iceweasel and Chromium open pretty much constantly, with occasional use of wget.
