ORIGINAL: PipFromSlitherine The idea that IE11 isn't compatible with W7 is untrue. That said, IE11 attempts to be more standards compliant than prior versions of IE which had, errr, variable compliance with standards. But some sites attempt to workaround or do different things when they spot that the browser is IE and so it can cause issues. That is likely what you were seeing. Cheers Pip Except that, as I believe I wrote, rolling back to IE10 - and disabling auto-updates - DID address the navigation issues, of different sorts, I'd been having on civfanatics.com and quora.com. Without wanting to go OT, that's what I meant. With IE11 those sites were expecting any IE to behave non-compliantly, and thus with IE11 (which is more compliant) they work incorrectly. No need to go OT: "However, with the web being the most important aspect of computing these days, Windows 8.1's new browser version, IE11, should be an improvement. It's not. As soon as I started using IE11 I was immediately confronted with incompatibilities and functions that no longer worked. Simple things, like social sharing buttons, reacted so differently that it turned the web against me. IE10 worked great and I was happy. IE11 has forced me to start using another web browser again. And, before you ask…no, it's not Chrome. I will not load the bloated, memory hungry browser on any PC that I own. I'm using my second favorite web browser, Opera. Still, it makes you wonder how many people will be, like me, forced to migrate to a non-Microsoft browser just to get work done. And, once they migrate, a good majority will never come back. But, I'm not the only one experiencing issues with IE11. Already there are reports of IE11 not working with more important components such as Exchange OWA, Google, and even Outlook.com, and we're not yet a week into the public availability of IE11." - http://windowsitpro.com/windows-81/ie-11-different-enough-make-it-unusable Yes, it refers to Windows 8.1, but I suspect we've both been in IT long enough to have some suspicions, hm? -Oz
