having trouble with the forum permissions...

No, but it isn't the features (or lack thereof) that bothers me about Internet Explorer. Sometimes the only way to improve is to just start over from scratch and redesign the whole system in a way that better targets modern issues. Any software that has been around a long time can suffer from this, even Firefox to some degree. That's why I'm liking Chrome - it's newly designed from the ground up for the kinds of things we are currently expecting of browsers. And that really comes across in the speed and simplicity of it.

I tried Chrome and liked the speed very much - however I didn't like its lack of compatability with Norton so settled for Firefox (which is slower) but I'm happier with security issues.

Chris, have you tried the IE9 Beta? It seems to have some major improvements. Any thoughts?

Looking forward to this one! Or should I say froward?

[Quijote]

Now that is ironic!

Keep laughing, Sorrano, keep laughing ...
Suddenly, I feel a new sketch coming on. I feel it is time to cast you as a character on the receiving end of Beethoven's wrath. Please allow me a little time as my inspiration "brews" ...

[Quijote]

I've noticed!!

No problems and thanks to Chris for his excellent technical whizardry!

Of course, I would have spelt it "wizardry", but you are surely making a play on words, in that Chris is pretty fast at all this technical stuff, hence "whiz".

[Preston]

That's entirely possible. IE isn't very good, and often fails to conform to standards. I imagine it's a bug they accidentally introduced and will fix in a future update. Though I would use Firefox or Chrome. Chrome is particularly nice, and it's my current browser of choice.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words about the forum.

Also, you are most welcome, .

I also seem to have lost the automatic spell function.

If anyone else is reading this, please respond with either yes or no: have you experienced the problem Preston is describing, or any other problem with permissions/logging in and out?

Yes.

[Sorrano]

With Firefox I have not had any problems, whatsoever. That would be a definitive "no", Chris.

[Chris]

OK. Everything seems to be working with Firefox. I have no idea what the problem could be with IE? IE is up-to-date. Perhaps one of the last updates Microsoft sent out happened to cause some problems?

May I also take this moment to mention that it is a pleasure to be a member of such a professionally run Beethoven site.

May I second that? Any time I have had minor problems Chris has been able to sort them out very quickly. He seems to keep a 24/7 lookout!

I changed them to Medium with no luck. To be more clear, incase it helps, here the few problems:

1) I am getting restrictions when I try to save an edited post - so I have to go advanced to edit the post which requires logging in again.

2) When I login and make a post I have to log in again to post it.

3) When I logout it still says (sometimes) in the whose online section of the homepage of the forum that I am still logged in?

4) When I try to post a quick reply I am denied with a permissions message and have to go to advanced, which requires logging in again, and then post.

Those are pretty much the key problems.
