IE8 acting stupid

[no1ninja]

My IE8 is acting dumb.


I like to check NBA box scores. The thing loads the score, and I see the current boxscore, than for some reason it reverts to an instance from 40 minutes ago.


I have to load firefox just to follow a boxscore?

There is nothing wrong with the computer or Win7, its just IE8



I load a boxscore from sports.yahoo.com, it loads up and it is current... but than after it finished laoding, it reverts to a box score that is not current. I can reload the page many times and see the current score for a few seconds, only to have IE8 re-draw the instance from 40 minutes ago.


I have to close IE8 and start firefox, just to fllowt the box score.

I don't understand why an older instance of the webpage is taking precedence over the new load.

Try it for yourself. I can reproduce this at will.


NBA - Atlanta Hawks/Memphis Grizzlies Box Score Wednesday October 14, 2009 - Yahoo! Sports

load the above up, and than go to another boxscore, without closing IE8, than go back to the original score. At first it will work, but if you leave it there it will go back to your original load. Even when you refresh, you can see the new load, and than the old load overwrites it.


(this is really annoying)

It's working fine for me. The score is auto updating and showing me the latest info. I clicked on your link, clicked on another link, clicked on the original box score again, and nothing has gone back to an older version.

I just had it happen to me again. It works at first, but the live update eventually screws up. Go back to it, and let is sit there for a bit. You will see it go back to an old instance.


(this has happend to me so many times this year, that i finally got frustrated and posted on this forum)

Hello. Delete your Temporary Internet Files cache.

Yes but I have to do this everytime? That does not sound re-assuring. The live update is supposed to update the web page. It works fine with firefox... no issues.

Delete your cookies while you are there.

I am not a psychic.

I've been watching it for a long time, and I haven't seen it go back to an old score/stat/etc. Have you tried adding yahoo to your compatibility mode list? If anything is wrong, I'd wager it is a Yahoo coding problem - choking on IE8. Compatibility mode will allow older websites to display and act correctly in IE8.

I thought about that, but firefox is handling it fine.


I am sure cookies and tempfiles will help, but I can't be doing this everytime.



(Please just let it sit there, after a few live updates it will screw up - remember that you need to look at a game that is active and changing)

Right now I have it on the Bulls and Tiberwolves, it loads the current score, than after livbe update goes back to the old 80-81 score. unreal.



This has happend so often (this preaseason), that I finally decided to speak up.

 

[SquonkSC]

So far speaking up is all you been doing.

Why not try following some of the suggestions made?
Like add yahoo thing to compatibility mode.

Only thinking about it won't help you much.

And maybe deleting the tempfiles and cookies isn't necessary every time,
maybe just once.

But you will never know if you don't try.

Hopefully, we can find and correct the cause.

Personally, I would be going nuts if something that vital was affecting my system/enjoyment.

For instance, I have been following the Titans closely this year. Every site I visit shows that they are 0 and 4. Nonsense!

More like 10-7

Some of you guys are acting like jerks, this is a real problem. I am going to get my camera video tape it for you.

Reporting bugs on this forum is like insulting the insecurities of others.



I should not have to delete my cookies and tempfiles to watch boxscores, I don't even know how to add Yahoo to compatibility.

I don't think you understand what compatibilty mode is. It is part of IE8, which allows you to force a website to function as if you were using IE7. For instance, I visit a forum that uses vBulletin - the animated menu system crawls unless I use compatibilty view. Once enabled, the page renders perfectly. Try it. It's under the "Page" menu. You can also google for IE8 compatibility view.

(Oh - I did let it sit there. In fact, it's still sitting there, and it hasn't screwed up for me yet.)

Thanks for explaing that to me, I will try that.

I will ignore your remark.

You have explained what happens, and you have been served with suggestions on how to fix it.

Your unwillingness to try any of them, or to simply ask how to do it,
might be the cause for us not taking you very seriously.

Work with us, or go somewhere else.

Insulting won't get you very far.
