Is the web site compliant with IE8 under Windows XP Pro SP3 and/or Vista Business edition SP1?

Under XP Pro with IE8, I'm constantly being asked to log in even though I logged in from the home page. Forum replies just dead end after logging in.

Seems to work ok by initiating IE8 compatibility mode.

We test the site against Windows XP and Vista, though I can't actually recall if we've ran the site through testing with IE8. On the other hand, this is the first report we've gotten and while I'm not discounting your message, I am confident we'd have heard from others had they been experiencing this. Having said that, we will test things against IE8.

My personal recommendation is Firefox for Windows and Safari for Mac.

An update: we tested the site against IE8 on Vista and all worked. Did you check your security settings?

I have a theory that discounts the enabled and allowed security features within IE8. I'm not a big fan of the pop-ups...but you have to make money somehow.

I'm thinking that a cell phone modem tethered to a PC/laptop has a limited attention span for upload communication and receipt of attention by the CFS servers. Download of content is just fine but upload of content to any forum requires a login since the attention span of the server dropped the upload link?

In today's economy some of us can't afford a broadband cable connection to maintain constant connectivity and make do with a simple cell phone connection while viewing the site.

The majority of our traffic is now from broadband. It certainly wasn't always that way, and there was a time - not long ago - when our standard for compliant pages was a 56k modem. But now broadband is the standard.

If you click the 'remember me' button when you log in, you should continue logged in. Not just for that session, but for some time to come.

Of course there are all kinds of weirdness about websites that can crop up and I find often it has nothing to do with the website and more to do with something I downloaded onto my computer for perhaps another use. I speak from first-hand experience!
