Sites are telling me that IE11 is not supported - all of a sudden.
What browser should I replace it with?
{Let the fighting begin...}

 

Skynet...ehem I mean google.

 

Google Chrome is a bit too chummy with Google ad-tracking these days. Firefox with AdBlock Plus and the privacy settings turned up works pretty well. You can make the default window a 'private' one.

+1 for Firefox.

 

Firefox with uBlock.
Had a small issue with some banking sites not liking Opera.

 

Google is doing a few things to cut back on the ad tracking so maybe it is not a bad choice but Firefox is my primary browser.
Microsoft has finally given up, their next browser will be based on Chromium. Looks like the future will be Mozilla vs Google.

 

Okay, I installed FF as default browser and everything works except this place is a bit weird now. Here I am logged in:

Then if I click the "Forum" button I am not logged in (no "New Posts" button):

Then clicking "Today's Posts", and I am logged in again:

It wasn't like this with IE11. What is going on?

 

Several months ago I switched from IE11 to Microsoft Edge which I had avoided for some reason. But I like it, it seems to work well. Pretty sure it is more stable and faster than its predecessor.

 

Thought they gave up on edge?

 

According to Wikipedia, the latest version of Edge:

44.18362.1.0 18.18362 Desktop: May 21, 2019

 

I use Chrome and there is always something weird going on with Log In status.
Sometimes it thinks you are not logged in even though you are.
This has been going on for years now.

The site has two themes/styles. The orange one is the default. I prefer the blue one.
Go to your profile. Scroll down to Preferences. There there will be Style. In the style selection you only have two choices.

 

Microsoft replaced IE with Edge. I don't like it and have been using Chrome. Will probably end up replacing Chrome with some other Chromium based browser that doesn't spy as much.

+1 Fluid 3.x is the blue theme. There's a box somewhere that keeps you logged in - sorry,I've been logged in so long I forgot where it is.

and you'll go right to the forum list.

Curiouser and curiouser!
Now I get the blue theme...

WTF

Just a caching issue I'm sure. Just clear them or reset the page.

Im pretty sure microsoft also does not lile edge and is dumpimg it for a new chrome based browser. Last I remember hearing anyway.

Remember this is a newly installed browser. Will FF be using IE11 cache - I doubt it.

I cleared the cache and it made no difference.

 

When you first loaded the page you created a cache of the page. Then when you log in it's looking back at the original cache. nothing to do with IE。 This could also be cache issues caused in script on serverside and nothing you do would would fix it in that case.
There's one thing I do that I can produce the same error I can't remember what it is and it's not during normal forum browsing. So it is probably something server-side

 

Microsoft is still supporting Edge, but its engine is migrating to Chromium - versions can be obtained from here.

 

I stay in the blue theme, until I click on something in the top toolbar. Then, I switch to orange, and it asks me to log in again. Almost always the click was a mistake but if I click on Forums | Latest, I’m back on the New Posts page, in the blue theme and logged in.
