Problems with AccyWeb

Starting yesterday, couldn't access Accy Web, it would open then freeze up mouse wouldn't work on any button, program not responding.
Rang Atarah she was having the same problem, now Wallop's has stopped working, rang Mick and he's having a look, having to access the site thro safari, haven't tried Safari before, but I don't like it, makes a right mess of my search for Accrington Pals on Ancestry.
I've now tried Firefox, Goggle, Opera, IE8. and a couple of obscure ones, they all cause problems with Ancestry.

I am not having any problems with the site at the moment.

If you have problems with all those browsers on that Ancestry website it suggests the site has been very poorly written.

Your telling me, it can sometimes take a couple of hours to find some of them, through vagaries of spelling, ie E Lan R, E Lanc R, E. Lancs R. Est Lanc, Est Lancashire & East Lancashire, just for one regiment, then you can get some real corkers in the spelling of surnames.
I've contacted them by email & asked them to get the clown who wrote the code, to include all the variations into East Lancashire, still waiting.
I think the index was written by some body whose 1st language was not English, probably a one eyed Klingon using a Mandarin dictionary.
Ancestry do admit they are having problems with IE8

re: Problems with AccyWeb

As your using IE6 still i would suggest you change the Accyweb colour scheme to blue as it has a lot less stuff to load and might speed up a bit for you
go right to the bottom of the site and in the left hand side is a drop down menu try changing it to the blue and see how you go
but it would be better if you could use an updated browser i use IE9

re: Problems with AccyWeb

you really should get off IE6 as soon as possible to be honest. Its really not a browser that should be used anymore. If you are Internet Explorer biased then get to IE9 ( you aren't still on XP are you? I recall you had to buy a new PC)

You dont mention Googles "Chrome" browser, have you tried that? Quite a few of the techies I know prefer that. I have always liked Opera as people know, at work I'm forced to use Firefox or IE. TBH probably 90% of my personal browsing is now tablet(Android) based for which I like Dolphin HD

Yes I have a WIN7 computer, can't get my head round all the new phraseology they are using, tried it to access Accy Web in desperation, it worked Ok on that one.
It alright for someone new to computing, they don't know any different, but to me WIN7 is a pain in the backside, can't make moss nor sand of it.
As I said I've tried all the other browsers and when on Ancestry they are a right mess.

Sorry Mick but can't change to blue, the dammed thing freezes as soon as it opens, can't scroll down to change colours.
