QPR Away

Yeah, I adjusted the compatibility settings as well, but to no avail. There's just a picture with a link. I click on the link and there's nothing there be a larger version of the picture.


I guess this eliminates my question of who is going to do the match report on Saturday's match -- live on FS Plus, by the way.

Ugh...I essentially have to rebuild the joomla site just to for it to work on ie9...I've tried just updating the files on a test site...but can't log in to the administrator panel. Given my limited abilities of figuring out a solution for that problem. I give up...for now. I was hoping of not having to do any major upgrades or overhauls to site until after the season. But Microsoft had to throw that wish out the window.

I'm too tired of this nonsense right now. Give me week or 2 to recharge, and I'll rebuild the site. At least the joomla part...the forum will be left alone.

[DCHeather]

Anyway...to get the thread back on track. I'll predict a 1-2 victory for the Whites.

I think that's a very realistic score, Senator.


And my commiserations with your hosting difficulty.

[DCHeather]

For once, it's not a hosting problem. It's a IE9 problem. There has got to be some simple answer to this. The site, as far as I can tell, works great in every browser except IE9. Here's more proof that Microsoft is nutso when designing browsers:

Don't use IE.

[DCHeather]

You're preaching to the choir, Nev. But others, including the fine gentleman from South Texas, do. Like I said earlier, for some reason IE is still the most used browser. The only reason I can think that's the case is the it's the default browser for just about every computer.

Okay so this isnt a very good time for me to complain about how I keep getting short posts lost to cyberspace.

My local computer geek told me that several sites have routines that allowed for the disparity between IE and other platforms. The problem is that the newer IE's have resolved the disparity issues; however, many sites still have that mechanism in their routines.

'by the way, Senator, I haven't had an upgrade in the last week -- when all this started -- so I'm not sure you can lay it all on IE9

[DCHeather]

Hatter, the only browser that the site does not work with is IE9. I have looked at the site with just about every browser besides IE9 and have not run into a single problem. There is some conflict with the current CMS (joomla and/or the template) and IE9. And I don't know what it is, but I'm not a web person by trade either. If you know anybody that might help, please get them in touch with me. I do not want to rebuild a website from scratch just so it can work on 1 browser...least of all for the browser I dislike the most. Gracias.

[DCHeather]

Thank you google. After many hours searching google, I finally found the answer...and the site works again in IE. Apparently you cannot cut and paste from a Microsoft Word document into an article, it will render IE useless. Whodda thunk it?

Now back to our scheduled programming:

Whites will win 1-2.

and I got to (finally) read your excellent writeup. I almost hesitate to tell you that when I tried to comment on it, it gave me an error because the email address I put in was 'already in use.'

Sigh. Speaking of emails -- one is on the way to you.

For the majority of us who've been only following Fulham since the early to mid-oughts, it's important to know that 25 years ago these 2 clubs came very close to merging and becoming Fulham Park Rangers. Good thing for both sets of supporters that this didn't happen.

Thanks, amigo.

I ran into the same problem with the comments. Your username and email is stored for the site, and since I ditched the log on to the site you can't use them. I entered my comment by shortening my screen name and using another email address. If you don't have another email account, you can trick it by saying none123@none.com for the email address or something like that. As far as I know there is no option to make an email address unnecessary to comment on the articles. But I'm checking into making commenting a little easier for members (without the log on module).

Saw Mark Hughes on Sky Sports and he said, "apparently it's not possible to leave Fulham and still remain on good terms". Hmmm, I bet Roy still considers himself on good terms. Truthfully, though, I've always suspected Mark couldnt quite get comfortable working for an eccentric like Al Fayed. Just a hunch.
