I've been fighting against weird layout issues and javascript screwiness ever since I installed IE8. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-fix-internet-explorer-8-messing-up-your-design#post-18783 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:14:20 +0000 _ck_ 18783@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Also related, remember if you use XP and you install IE8 (beta) you CANNOT uninstall it. It locks you in. So everyone might want to avoid the temptation to play unless it's on a virtual box. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-fix-internet-explorer-8-messing-up-your-design#post-18757 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:15:11 +0000 chrishajer 18757@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Use this procedure:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/delete-post-by-its-owner#post-18737" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/delete-post-by-its-owner#post-18737</a></p> <p>Make it its own plugin, or put into a plugin file with other tweaks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-fix-internet-explorer-8-messing-up-your-design#post-18756 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:02:46 +0000 dss 18756@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>where do we put this code? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-fix-internet-explorer-8-messing-up-your-design#post-18751 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:24:09 +0000 ddemeo 18751@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You are awesome!

What a (continued) waste of everyone's time.</p> <p>ps. this plugin might also work for WordPress if you change the 'bb_send_headers' to plain 'send_headers' </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-loading-problem-in-internet-explorer#post-11782 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:27:19 +0000 pwdrskier4 11782@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I believe that it was a problem with the way my host (GoDaddy) deals with .htaccess files. I was also having major issues with the same as this: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working?replies=29#post-5247" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working?replies=29#post-5247</a></p> <p>All-in-all, I would say stay away from GoDaddy if you are trying to do a integrated wordpress/bbpress site. I have moved the site to another host and all issues have been resolved. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-loading-problem-in-internet-explorer#post-11778 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:32:08 +0000 chrishajer 11778@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Need a little more info. How about a URL? What type of hosting are you using (Windows or Linux)? Is it on the WWW or on localhost? Did you modify any files? Are you using .htaccess with rewrite rules for pretty permalinks?</p> <p>My suggestion would be to share some more info so people might be able to help you.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-loading-problem-in-internet-explorer#post-11772 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 08:03:09 +0000 pwdrskier4 11772@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>My forum works great in Firefox but when I use Internet Explorer, often the page doesn't load (webpage cannot be found error). I hit reload several times until it finally works, which it always does eventually.
