What's with the Web
 
This TV web page is frustrating on the best of days. Trying to view posts, place an ad, just navigating through, is impossible most of the time. Either I'm closed out of the forum and have to re-register to get back on....typing in a message blanks out or flips to a different sight. This has been driving me crazy! Don't know if the web page just doesn't like I-pads, or someone is purposely tampering with the page! Anyone else experiencing problems?

Not a problem here.
Not posting any ads but everything else seems fine.

Sorry.

This forum is very hinky on an iPad. I can only read and not post with my iPad.

Back button
 
The back button doesn't seem to work on Windows 10/Edge. Worked fine in Windows 8/Explorer.

I think Pting broke the Internet. Nice going.

Once in a while I have not been able to get on but that turned out to be my security team who did not like the advertising. I had to send them an e-mail and then I was back on the next day.

You may want to have your computer checked, maybe a virus? I’ve never had any problems with TOTV. However, I use MacOS and Safari.

What are you saying? Safari, so good.
[I may get pulled over for that.]

When it comes to computers there are only two kinds, Mac and everybody else. Once you go Mac you never go back. :posting:

The problem with Edge is that you can not Left click on the return arrow and skip all the adware and other junk websites stuck between the current page and the page you want to return to. I have virus checker but this website has infections which copy to your computer.

I use another website using same engine and have no problems.

Should have stayed with Win7

No problems here on my ipad or on my chromebook.

perrjojo 02-02-2016 07:55 PM

I use iPad and never have problems. Fingers crossed

Pting, I'm sorry I blamed you for braking the Internet.

I upgraded from Win7 to Win10, and managed to KEEP IE11, so I use IE11 for this site as well as many others. I do not like Edge. Also, you are correct there appears to be a significant amount of spyware (or something similar) on this site. My antivirus software is constantly informing me of suspicious activity. I think the ads that pop up in the main screen are the culprits.

I would see if you can download or otherwise reinstall IE11, and use it.
One item, I have not figured out how to setup IE11 as my default browser, the E button is for Edge, and I have not found a way to change it.
Hope this helps.
