[iron bark]

PLEASE NOTE:
This series of tests below were done by ubeaut using the log in information supplied by iron bark specifically for the tests.

First test are using IE8

This is a test to see what happens :U

-----------------------------------------

This was a test of en edit of the test :?

-----------------------------------------

NO PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

[iron bark]

This is a test of a test to see if this test works as well as the first test :cool:

[iron bark]

Third test and all is well. No lockup, nor nuffin else.:fingerscrossed:

[iron bark]

This test is to test the auto save bit. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. Strewth a minute is a long time.

OK Auto Save works and so does everything else.

--------------------------------------------------------

Switching to IE9 for next tests :q

Left the post without submitting, cam back and was able to restore the post with the Auto Saved material.

[DJ’s Timber]

No don't switch to IE9, otherwise you'll end up doing this :throw:

[iron bark]

One last test using Windows 7 and IE8

Ta dar....:2tsup:

Still no problems encountered although speed isn't all that flash.

[iron bark]

Not a problem. OK next IE9..... Shudder. :C

No problems with the above post was just waiting for IE9 to download.

[iron bark]

Woohoo IE9 here we go..... do your worst. :q

[iron bark]

No problem with that one

Nother test with IE9 this time with auto save as well

Leaving post now

[iron bark]

Was able to return to last post and recover saved post without a problem.

Tried to put a smile in the last post 3 time and 3 times it locked up.

Was able to recover from the lockup but not the entire post.

My advice... Anyone using IE9 should dump it immediately in favour of Firefox.

Major problems encountered with this post using IE9 definitely not a good result.

All the above tests have been done by ubeaut using log in information supplied by iron bark for this purpose.
Used IE8 for first series of tests and Windows XP and Windows 7. The last couple were Windows 7 with IE9.

[iron bark]

Just tested again with new skin and IE9 locked up again when I tried to insert a smily.

This time the restore not only didn't work but shut down Woodwork forums with a message that the forums were not available.

IE9 sucks big time. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SMILYS

Not only did I get the "forums not available" message but I was logged out and had to log back in to attempt to recover the post. Gave up in disgust.

[ubeaut]

All of the above were done by me.

The next ones will be with my login and using IE9 :U:C

[ubeaut]

Sofar so good trying a recover from auto save this time......

[ubeaut]

Above post loked up 3 times and recovered the first line only each time.

IE9 really, really, really sucks big time.

Will try all the same moves again with Firefox

Just lost this post but recovered it again via auto save

Interestingly though IE9 won't let me copy and paste.

[ubeaut]

OK Back again using Firefox 15.0.1 trying exactly the same thing as the previous ones that locked up.

Left thread and restored saved content on return. :2tsup:

Inserted smily... No problem . No lockup. Nothing out of the ordinary. :U

Another smily and now for the submit.

_____________________________________________________________

EDIT

Worked like a charm no lock up not a problem. No bloody IE9 either.

[ubeaut]

Well. That's well over 2 hours of testing and the grand conclusion is.....

IE9 is a dog the culprit and anyone using it should switch to Firefox immediately and save themselves a heap of hassles.

There were an number of posts that didn't even make it into the thread because of crashes and lock ups caused by IE9.

IE8 seemed to be OK but I didn't do the same tests with it, however most of the problems seem to have shown up after the IE9 upgrade, making it reasonable to assume that IE8 is fine.... Well, as fine as IE can be.

Cheers - Neil :U

And 3 cheers for Firefox. :clap::hpydans2::clap2:

[ubeaut]

I have edited some of the above posts to put explanatory notes in.

If you haven't already noticed, my browser of choice is Firefox and in the years I have used it I can never remember having a problem with it that wasn't something of my own doing stupidity.

[Aufitt]

Test.
