Can’t get SE23.LIFE on IE

Howdy. Suddenly the website isn’t coming up at all on Internet Explorer (v11). Entire window blank below the toolbar. Everything else I’m doing web-wise is fine. Thoughts? Thanks! (This was posted on my iPhone)

Thanks for the report @AndyS. I also heard this recently from @robin.orton.

I’ve raised this with the Discourse developers here:

Yes, just confirmed this. My version is 11.103.14393.0

This site is currently crashing Chrome browser. Ok in Edge and Safari.

I’m on Chrome v52 and can’t reproduce the problem Which Chrome are you using please @Brett? (and on mobile or desktop?)

53.0.2785.116m which I think is latest on desktop.

Ah, I’m at work and can’t upgrade my Chrome - will investigate when I get home this eve.

Ok thanks. Still same problem in IE btw but that doesn’t bother me.

Thanks. I found the plugin responsible for the IE problem and have reported to the plugin author, who’s been fast to fix issues in the past.

I can’t get it on my android phone either

Thanks for the report @Fran. Which browser are you using on Android, please, and what are you seeing exactly (blank screen?)

Tested on Chrome (version 52.0.2743.98) on Android (OS 6.0.1; SM-G930F Build/MMB29K) - I see no problems. Site loads just fine.

I think I had the same problem, after leaving the site open for some time on Chrome (53.0.2785.116). It seems now to have recovered however.

Desktop working fine for me (Chrome version 53.0.2785.116)

Just tried on Chrome 53.0.2785.116 (64-bit), Mac.

Seems okay - I will check with a long-lived browser session.

Thanks @Dave, @robin.orton and @Garfield for the helpful reports

Yes, to clarify, have just killed browser tab and am now using Chrome to post this. The crashes have occurred when having other tabs open and have noticed when returning to the browser. Have killed and reloaded the browser a number of times and the problem has returned. Will see if the pattern continues.

Hi another internet explorer user here. Was fine until a week ago now I get a blank screen I.E. 11 version 11.0.9600.18426

I think that an Office update may have triggered this, bizarrely. It happened again but then I did a cold start, now all ok again. Sorry if that caused any consternation @anon5422159 - hope it helps others.

God knows what browser. All I can see the se23 logo at the top.

Update: Regarding the IE problem seen by @AndyS, @robin.orton, @Brett and @Rich, I’ve coded up a fix for the plugin, and submitted this to the plugin author.

As soon as he accepts my code change, I’ll update SE23.life and hopefully, problem solved.

Cheers Nice work

Update: The plugin author has taken in my fix and I’ve deployed the latest version on SE23.life

I don’t have a Windows PC to test Internet Explorer, so would appreciate if someone could give it a go and let me know if it works? Cheers!

Yes that looks better. Well done.

And we’re back. Good work, @anon5422159. Thanks.
