Windows 7 and latest IE conflicting with Trains.com

  • I have Windows 7 and the latest version of Internet Explorer on some of my family's computers.

    I can read Trains.com forums but cannot reply to posts on those machines.  If I copy a quote into the reply frame, I cannot edit or type over it.  If I type in a reply in the reply frame or type my reply in another application (Notepad, Wordpad, Word) and try and paste a reply as text into the reply frame the forum does not recognize the reply and gives me an error message that I must enter a reply.

    If I go to another machine without Windows 7 and an older version of IE, I have no problems posting.

    Any suggestions on how to get Windows 7, IE and Trains.com to play well together?

    Click that.  You will only have to do it once.

  • Just wondering if you were having issues with IE8 or not as I hear various folks with IE8 having strange issues on forum sites...

  • IE9 is no cloud 9. The more I used it the more problems I had kept cropping up so went back to 7.

  • Stay away from MS I.E.

    Download "Firefox" or "Crome".

    I really like Firefox and it is free.
