Problems accessing Shara and Ger with IE9

[wetch]

Does anyone else have that problem using Opera?

I do

bwetfan is right. For 'their pictures', read 'the pictures that they have been sent and host' lol!

Patches' and TVGuy's comments reminded me of something else that I had forgotten. IE is positively horrible in quirks mode, when it can literally do nearly enything, seemingly at a whim.

I got round those problems by making sure my web sites use strict HTML compliance, not transitional, set by the page headers. Then IE 8 uses strict mode... and behaves (and IE 7 was half ways reasonable, although IE 6- was dreadful). In passing, that proved that M$ can comply with standards if they want to... just they don't very often want to!

They always do. It's just not the W3C standards they're obeying

Also, Microsoft is terribly slow with stuf like this. I wonder when / if WebGL and SVG will ever be suported by IE.

Web sites I write always conform to standards (either HTML 4.01 strict, XHTML 1.1 or HTML 5, combined with CSS2 and some additions using CSS3) but I always have to fix stuff for IE6 and usually for IE7 as well.

Can anybody view this site?

I sure can't.. Does anybody what's wrong, and if it will be fixed soon?
I'm using Opera if that matters.

I can get in fine using Google Chrome - but not with IE9

Firefox does, and always has, worked fine. Opera and IE suck, don't use them.

Actually, I can't get on the site using Firefox at all. I have to use an add-on which will let me embed IE inside Firefox to get past the welcome/warning screen.

And if that's not weird, I don't know what is...

Before you resurrect a thread, please read it.

Opera may be the problem, but it may have other causes, such as privacy mode, firewall blocking cookies or referer...
Just try and use a different browser to see if it works.

And oh yeah... You have to click the continue link twice if I'm not mistaken.

And to DeltaFoxtrot: I don't think Opera sucks... It's very standard compliant and if the stuff I write (except for some new features) works in Firefox and Chrome, it also works in Opera. The only thing I can hold against it is that it's closed source. But so is Chrome to some extent (as opposed to Chromium).


EDIT: I just tested it, and with Firefox 5.0 on Linux, untampered referers and in privacy mode it works. I still have some extensions turned on though. If you have time, toy a bit with your extensions to see if any of those are to blame.

It stopped working (couldn't get further than the disclaimer page) since I got FF5. I have a new computer now since 2 weeks and all of a sudden it works OK in FF5.
I think I had some kind of old (not removable) extension running on the old computer that confused their hotlink protection.

I managed to enter the site anyway by clearing the FF cache on my old computer (choosing last hour choice) once I reached the disclaimer page. It would then go on without a problem.

Pipi.

I'm still running Windows XP with IE 6 and I have no problem with it. However, I never used IE, always Firefox and Ger's site works just fine for me.

(In general, I find IE to be really bad.)

I looked into it some more, and yes, it's checking the HTTP referrer. If you're using Firefox and the site doesn't work, go to 'about:config' and scroll down to 'network.http.sendReferrerHeader'. Change this value to '2'.
