Has anyone else noticed that when you read a topic when using Windows8 & Internet Explorer 10 that a topic isn't marked as read?
I know I can manually "mark topic read" but I shouldn't need to.

Re: Windows8 forum problem?
I'm waiting 8.1 to have been out long enough for the bugs to be sorted, then I'll make the monumental leap from my comfy XP to Windows 8. the learning bit will have heaps of swear words involved anyway so no point in the pain of doing widows 7 along the way.

Re: Windows8 forum problem?
As of April next yr XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft, so no more patches or malicious software removal tools etc a hackers free reign of terror. I expect the anti virus mobs will stop supporting it at the same time. Bluescope Port Kembla are doing a frantic upgrade of equipment and XP to Windows7 rebuilds on any newer machines in an attempt to beat the deadline. Microsoft will provide support at $100 plus per PC in a 700 min PC bundle, so $700 min if you want 12mths more support, then it doubles each yr after that.

PEASANTS! Lol
I have win 8, and a handy little bit of software that makes the front end look like win7, or vista or even xp if i want.
Very handy if you want to keep the ostrich approach. Having said that, I find I am slowly getting used to the win 8 front end. A touch screen would be brilliant, the last 5 weeks away have seen me use the tablet mostly, the lappy comes out on mondays to get the weekend overseas tv

Back to the original post,
You can always install Firefox on W8
I do have a W8 laptop but rarely have to resort to Internet Explorer.
I do hate some of the changes but once I got the start-button back, I was a contented puppy.
I am doing a UNI course on-line and they BEG you to use anything but Internet Explorer!

Careful what you wish for. One of the things about W8 is RSI when used with a laptop.dapope wrote: A touch screen would be brilliant,
