Please contact me at rutgersmo at roadrunner dot com: icons at top of page show:
1. Browser Working (it was IE11)
2. Cloudfare Working
3. An error between the two....(see above)....I'm using Safari to access the site / post this message.

If you'd like I can send you my cell phone ....I prefer IE11- not Safari or Chrome or whatever.

Anything you can do would be GREATLY appreciated.

Microsoft is phasing out Internet Explorer. While I don't know anything about your issues with this site (other than that there have been some issues they're working on), I'd highly suggest you move over to Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome or something. I know you said you don't prefer them, but the sooner you give into them, the better for you.

Microsoft is phasing out Internet Explorer.

Pretty sure Microsoft isn't phasing out IE anytime soon. Windows 10 has a different web-browser. But earlier versions of Windows will continue to use IE, and IE will continue to be updated as long as those earlier versions of Windows are supported (which will be through 2018 for Windows 8), and security updates for IE will continue through 2023..

While I'm not disagreeing with any of what you wrote, I was specifically talking about IE.

Yes, they'll still have a web browser and they'll eventually make it good. I'm just telling Mo that the current ones suck donkey balls.

Microsoft might not be but no web dev teams are factoring IE into the equation when they develop sites. The industry in general is phasing it out.

But you told him that MS is phasing out IE, and you suggested that is the reason he needs to switch browsers. But they will continue to support IE for another 8 years. There may be other reasons to switch browsers now, but Microsoft "phasing out" IE is not one of the reasons.

Sounds like BS to me. IE is still the most widely used desktop web-browser, by far. And it will continue to be for the next several years. Any web development team worth its salt cannot ignore the most popular web browser when developing sites.

Edge is the default browser for Windows 10, IE is definitely getting phased out both by Microsoft and industry-wide, that is general knowledge at this point. The only reason anyone is still supporting IE at all is because of legacy reasons since it has had a large user base but it isn't much of a priority at all. The guy at Microsoft who ran IE left the company late last year I believe.

Yes, Edge is the default browser for Windows 10. But if you have an older version of Windows, IE is the default browser. If the OP is running an older version of Windows (which seems to be the case, since he is using IE), then there is no reason for him to switch browsers under fear that IE is being phased out. He can continue to run IE, and it will continue to be supported by Microsoft for as long as 8 years, while his version of Windows is supported. If he upgrades to Windows 10, then he will automatically have Edge as his default browser. Until he upgrades Windows, he can continue to use IE, and it will continue to be supported, for a very long time.

(Also, the reason Microsoft migrated to a new browser for Windows 10 is because IE is not well designed for mobile environments. Windows 10 is intended to run on both desktop and mobile environments, so it needs a browser that is designed for both environments.)

Guys thanks.

I spent over 40 hours two weeks ago with Microsoft....have been running 8.1 since late Oct. 2013. There was some corruption .....so they downloaded (took forever) an ISO version of 8.1 and everything seemed fine...except this site.

For some reason....it doesn't allow me to sing in even though I can put in a password. However, if I put that information in on Safari it then shows that I'm already signed in on IE 11....WTF...but doesn't show my loggin name.

I was planning on upgrading to Windows 10....but the board convinced me to WAIT until some (most???) of the problems are resolved.

Again thanks for helping.

Could you explain that in less technical terms?

Like I said, the only reason why there is any type of support for IE at all is because of high amount of legacy users. Microsoft knows it is going to take time to get people off IE so there are still some resources being put into supporting it but IE is 100% getting phased out by Microsoft.

So what? It doesn't matter why IE is supported. It is still supported. Phila suggested that to OP migrate to a new browser quickly because IE is being phased out. The point I'm making is that IE will be supported for 8 more years. While there may be other reasons to use another browser, fear of IE being phased out isn't a reason.

 

[Extra Point]

Edge might have the same problem as IE. Not sure if MS is going to reinvent the wheel.

Have any of you upgraded to Windows 10? I keep getting the message that I get a free upgrade for a limited time but I am afraid to upgrade.

I upgraded last month. The upgrade is a push of a button and a couple hours (tops) and that's it. No major problems. I did have to learn where familiar stuff was in some respects (when you get stumped in this area, remember the words "right click"). But very easy to do. No major screw-ups. Just don't wait too long. The "free" part is a limited time only upgrade for certain owners (I had Windows 8.1).

I upgraded my laptop the day it came out and I've had zero issues with Windows 10.
