How many people use any of these boards ? A few hundred at the most and well under a huindred most days. In case anybody has forgotten this is a commercial web site. Sure the boards are a fun little cornert of the net functionally but have little zero commercial justification in 2014. D C Thomson Family Research lost £ 2 M last year. I can't see much resource going into any further makeover of the boards still less supporting the idiosyncracies of Microsoft, Internet Explorer and Silverlight. Commercially Facebook is the way to go and has been for a while now. Whether GenesRU approach to using Facebook is a good one is another matter. |

I then had a couple more hitches being unable to type in passwords for emails to contact within sites - solved one by using Firefly, another by sending an email with hyperlink to OH's computer and dealing with it from there. I in the end contacted our computer adviser who said he now had a few complaints about IE11 and the only useful advice he could give was to uninstall it. He also advised that then to run Windows Update and in optional updates to rightclick on IE11, leftclick on Hide to prevent it being installed again. |

Martynsue - do note my report above about going to Windows Updates and clicking on Hide for IE11 or it may be automatically installed again! |

I've also had this and did a system restore yesterday. Great. Turn laptop on today, automatic update again and guess what? Same problem. Aaagh!!! |

CassieB - have you tried the compatibility fix as posted earlier? A number of people have reported that it solves their problem while GR are trying to sort it out from their end |

Yes thanks (Jax suggested this also) and it works but have to do it each time on this laptop but not husband's or the old desktop (which is in a fairly cold room!) |

I have to say that while the compatibility fix did work for me with GR I had a whole lot of other problems elsewhere after the IE11 installlation - worst was being unable to type anything especially passwords - and it was IE11, I had to switch everything to Firefly where there were no problems. I uninstalled IE11 and things seem fairly all right now. |
