I have been getting increasingly fed up with problems that I have been having, using Internet Explorer. I have used various versions of this since 1994 but the problems have been getting worse.

So I have now changed over to using Chrome. It took a few days to get used to but I now realize that it so much better. I can hear 100's of AB'ers saying "we told you so" !

But there is something I don't understand. I use a wireless keyboard and one of the main problems of late is that I have been experiencing increasing problems with letters missing from the text that I am typing. I have changed no end of batteries in the keyboard but to no effect.

But now I am using Chrome, this problem has all but disappeared. I'm not sure why, as the keyboard is the same as I was using on IE.

Anybody have any idea of why this is the case ? I am also getting far less problems with the screen freezing...was this due to IE as well ?

don't know the answer to your q but i feel the same about chrome - took me a few days to get used to it thne i can't believe i didn't listen to other people all this time :)
I much prefer Chrome to any other browser, I instaled it on my iPad as Safari is crap.
I haven't used IE for years, but I use Firefox and have had no problems, on AB or anywhere else.
We told you so.........
I was told too.... I had all the problems you say on IE - freezing pages, text missing (only on AB mind but so bad it wasn't worth coming on). I have had no problems since switching to Chrome except I keep using the cross at top right screen to shut pages which actually shuts off Chrome altogether!

Thanks everybody ! I have been using Chrome for a few days now and it hasn't let me know once. I still don't understand why characters where being missed when I was on IE....can anybody shed some light on this problem ?

As for "We told you so", you are right and I was wrong ! Mea Culpa !

But there must be hundreds of millions of people using IE in planet earth....why doesn't Microsoft fix these problems ?
Well sticking my neck above the parapet it was only on AB that the problems occurred and it was AB towers who wouldn't fix it not Microsoft.
Same for me I used to have problems on this site with IE I switched to Chrome, no more problems.
