IE8 - forum feature is broken

[Iare Tosevite]

For some reason, the forum menus like "Forum tools" and "Search this forum" displays the menu very slowly ever since I upgraded to IE8. I think it applies to all such menu bars in BB forum.

Please don't tell me to use FireFox or degrade to Ie7. Those are not what I want, and people keep telling me to do something like those. :P

Use Google Chrome. ;)

If you insist on using IE8, then try adding blackberryforums.com to Compatibility View.

Maybe I will. I'm tired of slow menu. :P

Hi, this is Feran with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. Try enabling the Compatibility Mode (broken page icon next to the refresh button on the toolbar). Or try managing add-ons (under Tools in IE8). Disabling unnecessary add-ons, or add-ons with more than a .2 second load time may help resolve your issue.

Let me know if this works for you!

[Iare Tosevite]

peguin3107 already suggested as such.

[feranm_ie8team]

Did you also try disabling your add-ons?

I know you said you don't want to hear it but I have given up on IE8.

I only use FireFox and Chrome because of the issues with IE8. With its slow loading, and constant crashes IE8 has become an absolutely miserable browser.

Agree.... IE 8 is a pain.

Well, I definitely understand choosing a browser that works best for you. I’m sorry you have had such issues with IE8 – especially since so many others have had such positive experiences with it.

From a security standpoint, IE8 is a very safe and secure browser. Have you seen this recent study by NSS Labs study showing that Internet Explorer 8 is the best browser for protecting consumers against malware and phishing attacks?

Also – if interested in trying IE8 again – if you could provide me with more info (computer, Operating System, RAM etc) and the exact issues you have, I could try and send it on to tech support and get you some answers/help.
