I have been a user of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) since its inception. They actually discontinued that browser in 2015 but I continued to use it. As of recent, I have been experiencing more and more failures with IE. Many times I have clicked a check box with no results, and some streaming services won't play on IE. So a short while ago, I switched to Google Chrome. It seems to have resolved all those issues, and another one that dates way, way back.

Some members here have trouble when the click the "remember me" box at log in. It simply logs you out when you try to make a post. Unfortunately, I was one of those members. I had to log in every time I closed down and reentered the board. Now that I've switched to Chrome, it seems to have resolved that issue also.

What browsers are you using?

I use Fire Fox 99% of the time also have Chrome. Which is used for the odd streaming video that FF wont work with.

I switched to chrome a couple of years ago. I always ran Microsoft Internet Explorer, until they abandoned further development on it. I began to notice that I could navigate some sites and especially couldn't fill out some forms. I even got some messages that my browser was outdated and would not work on certain sites. I changed to chrome, everything was fine. Also, I had trouble staying logged in right here on my own site. Switching to chrome solved that too.
