I upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 (under Vista) and now can't access istock.  It won't let me navigate from the login page to anywhere else.  Everything still works fine under Mozilla but I can't switch because I have other sites I need to work on that work with IE that don't work with Mozilla.

Anyone else having this problem?

Guys...why don't you use FIrefox? It's much safer and faster that IE

Because many many people work in offices - like my own - that have worldwide licesnses for Microsoft and nobody is permitted to add or remove programs or software onto computers owned by the company ... people always offer that as a solution but it is simply not a solution for all of those people working in large companies on computers that do not belong to them.

Switching is not really an option.  I have other sites that I need to access that don't work well with Firefox.

Right now I'm using two browsers and that's a pain.

Just upgraded to IE8 Vista last night and I'm having the same problem with IS.  All the other sites are working fine.  Sending ticket to Support.

I had the same problem yesterday on FF.

Well clearing temp files didn't work but clearing cookies did.  Which is always a major pain.  So if you can access and delete your temp files and cookies you might try that.

WOW!  That's huge news.  I've been with FireFox since before it was FireFox.  Love it -- Hate IE.

Having said that... IE has been moving more towards FireFox, or towards a web standard complaint browser I should say, and I've heard that ie8 is supposed to be "nearly there".  I haven't installed it, thought, because as a web developer I need to make sure my pages work well in Microsoft's non-compliant browsers, which means I still need ie7 (and ie6 for that matter) to check my work.  And since Microsoft won't allow you to have more than one version of ie on a computer at the same time, I'll stick with 7 until enough people make the shift, and more people quit using 6 (I have 7 on my primary computer and 6 on an old laptop I drag out simply to check pages).

The short of this is from what I've read, it is unlikely that ie8 is going to break any reasonable designed web page.  Of course, we've heard that before.

I use IE8 with XP with no problem.
Did you turn on IE8's Compatability mode for iStock? It's the little icon next to the
address bar or you can select it on the Tools menu. When you turn it on the
page will reload. I would think if it doesn't work in Vista that it would be a Vista
problem and not an IE8 problem. It works for most sites.

I also have the IE 8 problem (haven't tried any of the fixes, I'm just using Firefox til IS gets it fixed).

What I'm wondering is: Is the problem preventing buyers from logging in?

My sales at IS were way down yesterday. Ebb and flow or the IE 8 problem?

I have seen the login problem a couple times and thought I had
done something wrong. One thing I've noticed about IE8 on other
sites is it takes a long time to load all the site references, and if
you click on something too early, it sometimes won't work.
Try giving IE8 longer before clicking and see if that helps. It's
worth a try.

Even its unlikely that ie8 is going to break any reasonable designed web page they should be the choice it to make in istock.
