Getting really tired of....

Scripting errors on the Toms Hardware site.

...Every other day the Toms Hardware home page asks me which country/language I prefer.

...the "Error on page" message athat appears in the IE status bar every other time I visit the site

...the site randomly deciding that it will not allow me to automatically log in.

Because it doesn't work properly in IE. It's built for Firefox and IE is just too non-standard to work with the fancy stuff they use on this site.

IIRC, IE8 is supposed to be much more standards compliant than previous versions, so it's odd then that I should be having any problems. Whether that's true or not, IE has a 60~70% browser marketshare. Drop IE 6 share from the pool (justified, IMO) and you're looking at 35~40% share. Given that, the fancy stuff that's possible by building on Firefox may be a nice technical achievement, but if these features come at the cost of making the site work incorrectly/inconsistently for 35~40% of your users, the cost of these features are too high, and not representative of good business sense (my opinion).

Dont tell that to some xp users heheh

Had the same problems, installed Firefox, viola', no more problems.
I have to say, you never really understand just what a screwed up mess IE is until you try a decent browser. I cannot believe I was stuck using it for so long, there really are much, much, much, better browsers out there, we kid you not.

IE8 works if your site choose to support it, iToms Hardware dont - Simple as that.

What's with the change in article comments? Why was show comments by type removed and why does focus move to the top every time I change the comments page, I don't need to read the article with every new page?

This is something I'm "getting really tired of" because it was better a few weeks ago.

p.s.: hopefully this is the right forum for this

Pull some strings randomizer, it's really sad when we lose functionality..

I hate the language pop-up. It never remembers the language for me and I use both chrome and firefox. Explorer just isn't secure enough for me. And if I click on the language, it doesn't do anything just reloads it back up. I have to click X in the upper right corner to close it. I've been having trouble with it since It has been added to tomshardware. I have the same problem at home or at work.

There has to be a better solution than this thing.

Yeah ... they keep popping up.

I got some weird one about another survey yesterday.

Reminded me of a soap ad from the 1960's ...

Scary.

IE8 script errors. I had to download Google Chrome just to post this message. Also getting tired of the survey page when I enter Toms Hardware for the first time. Tom's must be desperate for ad revenue accepting these annoying ads. It's going to start turning your viewers away.
