Re: Login: Firefox works, IE doesn't [johnv] by backy

I am trying to sign in using the Sign In URL from this page:
 
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/ForumsLanding
 
Then a popup window appears. I enter my ID and password, check "remember me on this computer", and press the red Sign In button (when the cursor floats over it, a hand appears as if the control is active). When I press on it, it looks like it's activated but nothing happens.
 
While I'm at it (maybe should open a different thread for this), anyone know why when I'm in Firefox and I use one of the text enhancement buttons like "I" for italics, it puts the first "i" at the very end of my text block, NOT at the start of the text I highlighted? I have to copy and paste that "i" with the brackets to where I want it, place the cursor at the end of the block I want to italicize, then press the "I" button (now red) again, and the ending "/i" with brackets is placed correctly. Does the same thing with Bold etc. Works fine in IE. I have noticed this for some time with Firefox--not just the latest 3.5.1 release.

I can answer (or rather give you a workaround for) the second question - you need a space at the beginning of the highlighted text for that to behave correctly.
 
This issue only shows up if you are trying to italicize the beginning text of your post by highlighting and using a formatting button. If you use highlighting and a formatting button later in the post, it works as it should.

Thanks, that worked (as you can see).

Edmunds Crashes Firefox by pschiffe

Every time I click on My Watched Items I get a pop-up "QuickTime Failed to initialize. Error #0. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer." When I click on [OK] my Firefox browser crashes. This happens every time and I've been on this forum for years, but this behavior is new; within the last week or so. What's up with this? Anybody else experiencing this phenomenon? I *do* have the latest QuickTime add-on for Firefox installed.

It sounds like an ad is running with a movie or something in it and that is impacting your experience. We'll report this to our ad ops team immediately. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Problem has disappeared so apparently it was taken care of on your side, thanks.

I take that back, still (or again) getting the same popup that I reported earlier!

On the My Watched Items page - at the bottom of the page, uncheck the box "Honk when my items have new posts." to see if that helps. If it is already unchecked, let us know.
 
We're still investigating if this is an ad-related issue.

Can someone help me with this? by jmonroe

I posted this over in Stories from the Sales Frontlines asking for help and Kirstie provided me with the link to this forum. I’m a regular over there so I felt one of the hosts could direct me.
 
Here is my problem:
 
I can not join in on the discussions from my home computer (I’m now at work) ever since my computer had an automatic restart last week. Something to do with McAfee. This kind of stuff has happened before and I was always able to click on the “sign in” button at the top of the page or the orange “reply” button on the post, then put in the required info and I was ready to go. NOT THIS TIME. When I click on either of those two buttons I get a page that says, “Internet Explorer cannot display the web page”. I never had that before and I figured that Edmunds might be having a server problem but that wasn’t the case because the next day at work I had no problem but when I got home I still had the problem. Being a little paranoid I did this back and forth thing for a couple days.
 
I called FIOS and they said since I had no problem getting to any web site it was in my computer. I thought that was the case but I also thought they could tell me where to go within my computer to select the right tab/button/setting to fix the problem. They said they can’t do that.
 
A fellow poster over at SFTSF (subsequent to my post for help), suggested that I down load Firefox. A guy I work with suggested this a couple days ago and I did that. I can’t get to ANY web site with Firefox.
 
Is there an answer to my dilemma?
 
Thanks,

It's just the CarSpace login that's fighting you? What OS and version of IE are you using?
 
Microsoft has a virus program out that is fast and seems to work ok (I never had much luck with McAfee stuff). link
 
Before that I was using Avast, which I liked better than AVG.
 
All three are free.
 
You may want to get the latest version of IE - IE8. There's a compatibility mode button that helps with contrary websites that may help.
 
Or uninstall McAfee and start over with a fresh install.
 
Or rollback your computer with System Restore.
