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 :)

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.

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?

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 ♥

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.

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.

OUCH! That sounds horrible.....

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

What's Netscape? I've been living under a rock; all these browsers. 😆

Perhaps is this why the scode ref links are no longer working on the site?

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 think if people are STILL using Internet Explorer at this point, they need to reevaluate their lives, just sayin.

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

I'm on Chrome and can see your HA just fine, so you might want to try clearing your cache or something! :)

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 😅

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 :)

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.
