Hi.
I experience that my browser hangs when browsing projects and its files.
Really really annoying! It happens on three different PCs I have tried with..

I noticed that WowAce is using some strange java applications to prevent people from pressing the download links. Maybe that has something to do with it?


Is this a known problem?

Okay sorry, Flash. But I believe the Flash stuff are the cause of the problem I'm having with IE.

So.. Did someone else have this problem and solved it somehow?

Ps.
I have no problems doing automated downloads to WowAce even tho the annoying Flash thingies are there. (I dont like the Curse client and had to solve it otherwise)
And no... I dont want to replace IE for some junky FF/chrome/Opera..

Sorry, but the only thing crossing my mind reading this is: lol

A browser full of security holes the size of a mountain and bugs interpreting certain (valid) html tags since years is supposed to not be "junky"?

BTT: First thing to try would be to update IE and Flash or if it is up to date try reinstalling flash. Other than that I have no idea what can cause this and how to troubleshoot/fix IE problems, only using it when pages force me to do so (i.e. DRM media -.- ).

Post a ticket here please:

Best place to go.

But you're having trouble downloading from Curse.com? That's the end-user site where addons get delivered.

Okay.. I'll post at ticket. Downloading isnt the problem really since I get them automatically(script ftw). But I like to browse thru the projects and see which is new/updated and what specific changes are made when they are updated so I can report bugs if I find any... By going back and forth between projects and their files-pages my browser simply hangs randomly. If i'm lucky it responds after a minute or two again. Using IE8 btw.

BTW... I only get a white page on curseforge when I select the action "post a ticket".

Then install/uninstall FF or something to post the ticket and see that the problem its IE from the start..... I cant believe someone picks any browser over IE and calls others "junky"....

There is a certain irony to someone claiming IE is the one "not junky" browser out there. If you even do any serious amount of web development, you'd know that IE is the worst browser of any to work with. Hell, these issues are most likely IE doing exactly that, being difficult and not fully implementing standards.
