Site down - Upgrade in progress - BRB

[Jewels]

Cleared cache and cookies etc. but still can't post via IE10. Can read the site but can't post - whether it be "start new thread", "reply" or "reply with quote.

I am using Firefox to post this but I hate it. I seem to have picked up some sort of malware that keeps asking me to complete surveys and popping up search links and advertising everywhere.

Does anyone else have this problem with Firefox? Does anyone know how I can get rid of the annoyance?

Would prefer to just stay with IE but maybe I should just download Chrome and start using that?

Unless the collective wisdom of RWO community has a better idea.

Hey Swansongster I also have your problems and had to download chrome onto one of my computers as that was the only way I could post again and yes I am getting that crap on firefox and it's driving me NUTS!!!!!!

As I am a technological moron, could someone explain to me in terms that I'll understand, IE like you are talking to a five year old, how to clear my cache and cookies?
No idea what a cache is and the only cookies I have any knowledge of are the delicious macadamia ones that are constantly finding their way down my throat and heaven knows I don't want to clear them out of my life!

Try this

Go to Settings in the top right corner
then General Settings in the left hand column
scroll right down to "Miscellaneous Options"
try selecting a different editor to the one you're currently using, most likely the "Enhanced Interface"

Swansongster, what do you use as your preferred editro on RWO.
Look here: RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com
Then find "Message Editor Interface:"

I use "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls" with no problems.

None of this worked for me in IE. Have downloaded Google Chrome which works fine (so it would seem).

Strange.
I've tested on 5 different browsers, as can be seen above.
All are working fine now.

I have IE10 at home, and it works fine, although I don't use it. (Much prefer Chrome)
Must be some other setting somewhere in your IE10.

Did you try the compatibility view thing?

Chrome is the only one that works for me.
