Title: Browser compatibility causing issues.
Post by: Qristal on February 27, 2015, 11:45:31 PM
Hello,

I install numerous forums on my server through QuickInstall in my cPanel. I have them sectioned off on their own subdomain and the installs seem to go fine but the issue is that many Internet Explorer users get a 404 trying to reach them. ALL of them. Yet all other browsers pull up the forums and they function fine. My server hosting provider has SMF 2.0.7 as the current install through their QuickInstall. One such forum address is here: roomforums.roleplayevolution.com/ashesofsulport/index.php

I'd like a resolution to this for my IE users.

Thank you!

Works fine in IE8.

Yes, for some on IE, it does..Many, it does not. I'm just hoping to get some guidance here on how to make adjustments or.. something. But it does affect a majority of my IE clients.

The problem is intermittent, just happened to me a couple of times, but now I can connect no problem.  Have you contacted your host?

I have, and they replied it was in the setup. The problem is, I'm not doing any setup on my end except installing it, and through their QuickInstall. It being intermittent has made it very hard for me to think about troubleshooting because I personally get to it fine, but many do not. I will admit I've not made any move to learn how to install w/o using QuickInstall. Maybe that is my next step?

Thank you. I will play with that. I have a dedicated server, not shared, so I should be able to get through this easy enough. Will see what happens.
