Problem with IE8

[si conehead]

The first page loaded in a new session of IE8 results in a message at the bottom of the browser screen that says "error on page". The "Next" function is inoperative until the IE8 window is refreshed with F5. This is not a problem with FireFox.

Are Jive responsive to your reports?

[adobe-admin]

In general, yes they are. But resolution depends on a lot of things and can take longer than preferred.

[Kath-H]

In general, yes they are.

Well, that's encouraging.

Jive's not going to be responsive unless there's a threat of them not getting money down the road, but that's probably not the case. Adobe has probably already shoveled out a large sum and now they're committed to maintaining the crapware to avoid losing their initial investment. So it'll be awhile until basic problems like INCOMPATIBILITY WITH IE which should have been caught in basic testing (Jive isn't doing much of this) are resolved. And if the initial investment was minor, it's time to jump ship and find some real software.

Thanks, John. And what follows is just a test, because I noticed that suddenly Verdana 10 pt came out funny in my previous message. I have just opened this thread in Mac/Firefox (I wrote it in Vista/Explorer) and it also looks funny. Posting from my Mac now.

Back in Vista/Explorer; the text I wrote in my Mac looks all right here, and I am adding some more text to see if I get the problem again. Trying to make the text long because the line spacing in my previous message was aldo wrong. And I was forgetting: Explorer is not taking me back to my just posted message.

No, everything looks OK now, must have been a temporary glitch.

Jive is continuing to work through a resolution for this as of May 6. They've made some progress, but the fix requires a great deal more testing to ensure it's stable. The Jive related product enhancement/bug ID is CS-12987.

Since I have the same problem with IE7 on WinXp, I'd say this problem has been around awhile

Oh well... slow and stumbling at times, the forums do work for questions to be answered

Kanguyen, I don't know if new info is of any use once you have reported the case, but here it goes anyway.

Some IE effects seem to be getting worse. Take this one, for example:

At first, both Original Post buttons went back to their proper places by themselves after the time it took me to read the last message if this was more than a few lines. Now I have seen them remain in their wrong positions after much longer times; for example, when going back several messages in the same page and reading them all. And the effect is not constant. Some times the buttons go inside the last post, while others they may appear several messages upwards. And some times they relocate themselves in a couple of seconds...

I'll make sure this one is logged as well, Claudio. I too have seen this one intermittently.

[Claudio_González1]

Thanks. I seem to see it always, only that many times it disappears in a couple of seconds.

Hello, Kanguyen, here you have two more glitches affecting Explorer:

1. In the "Small niggles" thread I made a suggestion regarding the page numbers bar on top of the lists of topics, as reported here:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/1970495#1970495

However, I have just noticed that I am still seeing the "new" page numbers bar in Mac/Firefox, but I'm not getting it under Vista/Explorer 7. To be frank, I couldn't for the life of me say for sure if this is new, or if I ever saw the new bar in Explorer; but it is quite evident that it is not there now.

2. This is an old issue that I hadn't felt like reporting. When posting messages, and as a deference to other users, I normally change the difficult to read Arial by the much more readable on screen Verdana. For this, I select my text, and go to the Type pulldown menu, where I scroll down until I see Verdana, and choose it. No problem at all in my Mac, but difficult in Explorer, at least for the first (few?) message(s?). What happens there is that, when trying to scroll down the list, the highlighted text is deselected. This happens however I try to scroll down, with the arrows or the bar. My workaround is to choose Verdana anyway and then reselect the text, If I do this, when I go to the pulldown menu, it is still scrolled down, and I can choose Verdana without getting anywhere near the scroll bar.

Addition (2 and a half hours later): I am now seeing the new bar in Explorer also (point 1).

Here is a new one. If I use my bookmarks to come into any of these forums after a period of inactivity, I have no problem. However, once here, if I try to open any thread, or to login if I had been logged out, Explorer just freezes and I have to use Ctrl-Alt-Supr to get out. This has nothing to do with whether I have or have nor been logged out. If I was still logged on entering a forum, I am logged when I come back after relaunching Explorer.

Yeah, because it's not a fix, but a hack and guesswork. And testing? hehe.. Come on now, WE are Jive's testers, let's be honest here.

[si conehead]

The original post was posted 2 months ago and it is not fixed. Hard to believe.
