I don't have the drop down when I'm on the front page but if I go to User CP or any thread I then have the drop down. You don't have it regardless of what page you're on?

This is how mine works. No drop down on the front page but I have it everywhere else.

Yeah, I should say that vbPlaza does NOT work for me from the Front Page, but everywhere else it's fine. I'm rarely on the front page though, if ever. My IE bookmark actually goes right to the forums.

I've tried the user CP page and nothing. I have tried a lot of different pages throughout IE and nothing. I never get the arrow for the drop down. Bummer for me I guess.

Edit: I just went to Fire Fox to make sure I couldn't get it on the other pages, and it works. I can't get it on the front page, but I can through any other page. Looks like it is an Internet Explorer problem.

Looks like a fix went into place. I can get to it now. Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Holy shit. You were still using Internet Explorer.. a browser so bad, standards non-compliant, insecure and just plain bad (yes, I had to say it twice) that's it's a running joke.

Bad Monk, bad!

I'm not making excuses for IE (the browser) compared to Firefox or Chrome, but there is a security difference in the way they work. Firefox and Chrome are more open and not as secure, thus more venerable to phising, virus drive-bys, etc.. The browser you use can make a big difference in the way a web-site acts.

Without going off at length (too badly) nor trying to prolong this tangent, I'll merely say as an IT professional of almost 20 years, I can tell you that your browser assertions are unequivocally false.

Internet Explorer consistently scores near the middle or bottom of the pack in every category. Security (both live and in the amount of time it takes to patch known vulnerabilities), stability, standards compliance (poor rendering, makes coding for the web harder on everyone, TRUST ME), JavaScript runtime performance, etc.

It's so bad Microsoft is replacing it with a new browser called Edge.

Chrome and Firefox are NOT less secure than IE, but you were right about one thing (possibly two): They do things differently (better?) which results in faster fixes to known vulnerabilities, better compartmentalization (which makes them BETTER against phishing, not worse) and if by "openness" you mean open-source and by implication less secure... just grossly incorrect. Peer review beats "I have a secret" in terms of security 10 times out of 10. Dozens of studies affirm that fact.

Disregard.

Already answered. Thanks.

I realize I'm late to the party, but I missed a rare opportunity to respond to Irish#1's Internet Explorer security statement. This is all you need to know about Microsoft security:

It's Texas Game Week and I can't see the Opponent Helmet/Schedule Banner that has graced the front page of this site for most of a decade.

Can someone post the 2016 version?

Thanks.

No shit. I have complained about this several times with no answer.

We need answers, damn it!

 

[gkIrish]

Working on it.

 

[Jason Pham]

Yep, working on it. Been having an unusually busy summer. Thanks for the patience, folks.

 

[Jason Pham]

Schedule and countdown are up. Threw them together a little hastily so let me know if any issues.

Cheers,

Anyone else having trouble with Tapatalk lately? The Unread, Subscribed, Participated, and Timeline feeds are always blank. I have to drill into specific sub forums.

Yup. I have to go into sub forums and wait for threads to populate there before they will show on unread.

I have for a few weeks but I only use the time line tab. If you go in to a forum to the point the threads list then back out and refresh, they appear.

I always have to sign out and log back in. It's pretty damn annoying especially since I can't save my log in info.

Anyone else been getting redirected to a pop up on iPhone when clicking on a thread?

Viewing IE on my phone is becoming unbearable!

IPhone, IPad, etc... Yes....
I don't even try to access the website anymore from my phone or tablets if I can help it.
A few other IEers have verbally complained to me as well. One has stopped hitting the site all together as he's 100% IPad at home and can't access from the office.
Bush league crap....

Yes! It says I am like a daily winner or some shit. Annoying. Seems to do it in the lounge type threads like what are you drinking.

Yup. A big reason my posting fell off a cliff here was because the site was unusable on idevices. Maybe some would view it as a plus.

 

[calvegas04]

No issues here on my samsung phone or samsung tablet

I haven't had any issues via Tapatalk.

 

[irishtrain]

Yes. I have been this week. Still am actually. Annoying as hell.

Don't know if its related but my keyboard kept cutting out when I typed and my computer kept redirecting to sign in page

I just read the copyright at the bottom of the website and figure it could be revised. It still includes the Big East instead of the ACC. Minor I know, but I figured I'd bring it to the attention of others on the board.
