Guest gsclientarea Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi Can anyone help please. I've just bought a new PC and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista and downloaded IE8, some elements of my site are missing now, i.e. log in buttons for customers to sign in and I cannot add any products to the basket. (www.lazeme.co.uk) The strange thing is that it is working on everyone else's Vista PC so I think it might be something to do with my PC settings or to do with IE8 because its unsupported? If its sounds familiar please help! Many Thanks V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetic Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 open your spiders.txt file find and remove any lines with MSN or MSN bot save the file and re upload it with MSN butterfly or later versions of IE on vista the site thinks you are a spider because of your (crappy browser...) thank you MicroShaft using SEO URLs also has the effect of implementing the spider.txt which will "HIDE" login and register links (Session Killing) spiders cant register or login... goofy but true.... the SEO URLS and session killing for spiders REALLLLLLY NEEDS work...

Guest estelle Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I've tried IE 8 and it seems to be really buggy, displays the same page differently each time I reload the page. Use Firefox or Google Chrome instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aguser Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 IE8 is still in beta and so I wouldn't panic yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetic Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 hell IE 7 is STILL a POS on a stick anyone using IE 8 gets what they deserve still the problem of missing links (Login | Register) is due to the SEFURLs spiders.txt which DOES affect MSN butterfly users along with apparently IE 8 lusers FireFox 3 users UNITE!!! you seamonkey, chrome and safari users can join too... Kinetic they will have to pry my firefox from my cold dead fingers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(www.lazeme.co.uk)One solution, uninstall IE 8, it's still in Beta, therefore completely unsupported and unfinished... and then return to XP :dizzy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
