Internet explorer question

Post Reply New Topic

My computer is wanting to upgrade my internet explorer. I have no problem doing that, except several tech folks here have said that WP doesn't work well with it. It's the browser that I use, so will it mess up the WP site for me if I upgrade?

No, upgrading IE will not mess up WP browsing.
Basically it's a security / vulnerability thingie.
Actually, your browsing will be enhanced.

THanks! I'll do it then!

Just did it. It is a lot quicker but it looks different so it will take me a little getting used to.

THanks again for the advice. It's a LOT faster!

Well.........At least you know the difference between Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer!
You would be amazed at those in "Tech" positions who due Knot.

Most of your functions are still the same, just rearranged
M$ gets off to that sort of thing

But, Like you said, it will take sum time in getting used to
In the end, you will be a much happier camper and find a couple of new and neat things too.





as always, you are very welcome

It's not that different from how my nephew's laptop looks, except he doesn't have anything AOL related. I got mine upgraded from AOL. The only thing I dislike is how there is no favorites bar across the top, it's on the side if you leave it open, which I don't. I also don't like the little see through tabs on the top. I liked how they looked on the old one, but I'm actually getting used to it now.

If I had my way I would have a computer with Windows 98SE and AOL 7.0, but it would be as fast as this. That's what I used at the very first and for the longest time because when I upgraded the AOL I'd just go back to the 7.0 because I didn't like how it looked. I haven't had actual AOL in forever though, only AIM. I had it when we had dialup and when we finally got broadband I got my daughters fiance (then boyfriend) to set it up for me as still a paid account because I liked how it looked and did not like how BellSouth looked.

I'm kind of a technophobe. It takes me forever to get used to something and then that's all I'll use. I used an ipod touch for close to a year and then when mine broke I bought another desktop for me to use (my daughters fiance has their big desktop set up in their room but I can't figure it out well and the monitor is a huge screen tv and it's just too much). The kids have ipod touch's (newer than mine before), laptops, and Kindle Fires and can do the internet on their phones and I am terrified to touch them. I just know I'll mess it up, plus it's so small that I can't see well on it. Also, this desk chair fits my behind nicely and it's quiet here in the livingroom because the tv is in the den.

As per side bar - click on the X in the sidebar itself
then
Right Click in the top bar somewhere and select show favorites Bar - done

Happy to be of service Mam
