I also noticed in IE 11, that when I click on an attached thumbnail, like those above in this thread, I get the black screen with the rotating "spoke wheel" which then freezes. I must select the X to leave that screen and the next time I click on the attached thumbnail, the picture will appear....

I was not able to reproduce that. All of the images on this page opened via IE11 using left click or right click > open in new tab.

It was the left click on the image that is giving me issues.

...You can no longer arrange the Favorites Bar, with a combination of internet shortcuts and local shortcuts, like you could in IE 9 and IE 10. It will put local shortcuts to the right of the internet shortcuts. They can not be intermixed.....

I deleted the two items that MS puts on that bar - so maybe doing that messed up my testing. I was able to bookmark this thread and create a "local shortcut" to notepad. I could swap them around left to right. I'm not sure if that is what you had in mind for a local shortcut.

Yes it was. Do they remain in place if you close then reopen the Favorites Bar?

One thing I discovered when IE10 first came out was it behaved differently on some combinations of OS, Programs, etc., making it difficult to reproduce many problems that many people with IE10 were plagued with at first. Considering how many possible OS program permutations there can be, I find it amazing that new versions of IE do as well as they do. Still, I will wait a few months before upgrading and let others be the guinea pig.

Bummer! No, they don't stay put!

That is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah Unfortunately.

This is a screen shot of what I get when I left click on an image. It then remains frozen with no picture until I select the X and re-click on the image..

Found a reasonable work around.

Outlook shortcut always appearing at the end of the Favouties Bar - Microsoft Community

Well for me it performs better than Firefox now. Somewhere in between Firefox and chrome. Unfortunately to me Fiirefox seems to be heading downhill with bugs and their performance not keeping up with the cometition. Firefox has had the features, but others have caught up. Sigh.

I gave up an returned my primary system to IE 10.

The last straw was when I loaded a number of tabs simultaneously from Favorites and some were not loaded properly (blank tab and window). This was very repeatable.
