Internet Explorer!



We're no longer supporting internet explorer as a browser for using Subeta. If you're using Internet Explorer to access Subeta, we will not be able to help you in tickets or on the forums to debug technical issues with the site. Microsoft itself has asked users to make the move to microsoft edge, the official Microsoft browser and they have stopped releasing non-critical updates to internet explorer.

We recommend using firefox or chrome as your primary browser when using Subeta.

I work in healthcare IT and about half of every healthcare practitioner that calls us still uses IE lol. It's so unsafe! I'm glad to see Subeta is informing everyone about this :)

Everyone asking what Netscape is took years off my life.
fibonaccist

I haven't used IE since 2005 especially after it helped bog down my computer with viruses, annoying ads, and malware. I don't even miss it.
BoneCollector

DEATH TO IE

People mentioning Netscape makes me think about my old school and how the computers there used Netscape...with the little N and the shooting stars...and Bess, the dog that blocked certain websites...anyone remember Bess?

I haven't used IE since 2005 I think.

I only used ie once to download Firefox but nowadays im using Chrome
YamiTehGreat
Microsoft edge is actually great. I think its 100x better than google chrome

Someone asked what Netscape is and now I'm 90 years old.

.... People still use that fossil of a browser?? I switched to Firefox like a decade ago and never looked back lol.

This is such a weird thing to see, everyone supports non-IE browsers, except websites typically. It was originally for compatibility reasons, (despite the fact that IE is hardly compatible with things), most professional/business sites recommend IE as a first troubleshooting step.

Y'all are one of an elite group that has completely eschewed IE in favor of better browsers. That's excellent ♥
barratrous
friends don't let friends use ie
ChibiStraws
Bah, Edge sucks! Chrome for me
StarShadow
That's OK. My IE died over a year ago and I've been using Firefox and Chrome since so all good. Thanks for the info. ;)

You ever have a dream and wake up still in the grip of the emotion you felt in the dream? One time I woke up SO angry because I dreamed that someone had used my computer without my permission, and they used IE.
frederick
Thought I'd try a new browser to celebrate the occasion.
So I downloaded TOR.

It was a old, old browser. Like one before Firefox. My GF even used that when she was first starting to browse the net. It was a great browser too until AOL bought out Netscape and they stopped working on it.
Bro
i feel like even a single ticket regarding Internet Explorer is one too many. y'all gotta stop w/ the nonsense lmao. I thought this news post was for some retro IE wearable for my HA. ?

@indica
OUCH! That sounds horrible.....

@Hamilton
Teach your great-aunt how to use Opera. And if your great-aunt loves playing Subeta, more power to her! ;)

@Pluma
What's Netscape? I've been living under a rock; all these browsers. :laughing:
Stargazer
Perhaps is this why the scode ref links are no longer working on the site?
Evalynn
I work for a digital agency and when clients tell me they are using IE, I stop them right there and tell them I know how to magically fix all their problems.

Chrome and Safari are my go-tos. Chrome is the better option, but I use Safari for simple things mostly because I like being able to hit command+alt+ a number as a shortcut to get to my favorite sites!

The now fully zombified IE has attacked Subeta and is now preventing me from kissing anybody. Nice guys, you shouldn't have drawn the attention of that ravening carnivore.

I am using Google Chrome and my HA will not load in wardrobe! Only items load.

I prefer google chrome anyway, soI have been using it all along and like the functionality

Internet explorer: the best browser for getting another browser!

GOOD.
beinagrind
but what about netscape
PetiteUnikin
I think if people are STILL using Internet Explorer at this point, they need to reevaluate their lives, just sayin.
Chef
I just started a job that uses Windows 7 and IE on a virtual network. It annoys me so very much.
indica
i'd hate to see the computers of the remaining five people on earth who still use IE because they're probably just positively bloated with spyware and take 10 years to open anything

i've cleaned laptops of people like that before and it was literally an 8 hour virus scan to fully eradicate everything, it was BAD
antheraea
seriously stop using IE

as someone in web dev, I beg you, please stop using IE
Stiles
I keep forgetting IE exists outside of my crazy panic once in a while when I accidentally click it and immediately virus scan after
CrazyBirdLady
Been with Chrome for years. Never liked IE.

@Ginseng

You're the hero I didn't even know I needed <3

I have been switching to internet explorer every morning for the past few days (like an idiot) just to get a peek at my virus LOL
Ginseng
@marija12 I'm on Chrome and can see your HA just fine, so you might want to try clearing your cache or something! :)

@Marcus Definitely, I love W3Schools! I use it all the time for self-teaching CSS, etc. And I may have even, uhh, consulted it, to decide if it was worth it to make sure my pet profiles worked correctly on Edge/IE, lol :sweat_smile:
Marcus
@Ginseng

Thank you! That's a really useful site and it's really cool to see the breakdowns! :D
Diana
And if you haven't ever used Microsoft Edge, don't bother as it's slow and just generally sucks!
Ginseng
@Marcus

Not specific to Subeta users obvs, but W3Schools has a really cool stats page on browsers here, with a break down for Edge vs IE users here :)
Ipsi
opens IE to download Chrome
marija12
That's funny because my HA still isn't showing up on Chrome....
Pluma
that's ok, i use netscape anyway. ;)
kaleidoscope
@bonita they only mentioned IE users will no longer be able to be helped. Edge is probably okay considering it's taking place of IE. I have it but I've been too comfortable using Chrome. Might try Edge and see if I like it better. Overall, I've been reading for months that Microsoft was requesting users not to use IE any further.

WHY? Internet Explorer is the best browser...

For downloading other browsers.
Julie
Glad I use my Mac or iPhone to access Subeta... either Safari backup Chrome.
IE... what's that??????
