Even the video I just posted in the puppy thread shows as black box. When I use my Windows 10 Edge browser (which I hate to use), I can see them. :confused: Anybody else having this problem with IE11? :bashcomp:

I have IE11. As of 12:30 pm it's happening to me too, but only on Senior Forums. Works OK on Edge.

I belong to another forum too, and the same thing is happening with Internet Explorer. Edge works okay on both of them.
 
Internet Explorer has been in a downward spiral for the past 2 or 3 years, as more and more people are using Chrome and Firefox, etc., MS is slowly letting this browser die, while promoting the advantages of MS Edge. The few times I've used IE in the past year, it seems to be much slower than all the other browsers....recently I even deleted it from the Task bar...I don't expect to ever use it again.

Thank you for your reply Deucemoi, but I can see them easily with Internet Explorer on the YouTube channel/website, just not the ones that are copied onto this and other forums, even by me. And this just started. I checked to see if there was some kind of an update or program added to my computer yesterday or today, but I see none that recent. :confused:
 
If is the Dalmatian massage can see and play fine here in OZ in this forum,using Firefox
 
Thanks Kburra, it also plays fine for me here on Edge browser, but I just wondered why the sudden problem seeing them with IE11? Never had that problem before. I will likely be downloading Firefox in the future, but for now IE is my preferred browser.

Probably because Microsoft is in the process of is phasing out IE,and my guess is Edge has blocked the function in IE,so you will use IT (EDGE)
 
I hope not, if that's the case I'll be using Firefox sooner than I thought, even Chrome seemed better than Edge.
 
I go wo
ith those who recommend using FireFox. I use a Mac but have found that FireFox seems to be the best 'independant' browser. I gave up on Chrome some time ago and have never been fond of Safari. Having used FF continuosly now for over a year, it seems to fit best with 3rd party components and technology.
 
I read somewhere a couple of months ago that the latest
updates would cause I.E. to stop working on some browsers
and that that it would soon be dumped anyway.

I can't remember where I read it though.

Microsoft are doing there worst to move people away from
XP etc. and get them on to Windows 10 I think.

I went to the library today to pick up some tax forms and a couple of books for my husband. Just for the halibut, I went onto one of their computers and used their IE browser, sure enough same thing. I don't care for Edge but have to use it for now just to see videos unless I'm actually on YouTube. You're right Mike, some updates might have caused the problem on my windows 10 computer.

As I said before IE is being phased out,just download Firefox..Done!
 
I've been trying to use Edge today, rather than IE11. I don't find it a whole lot different from IE11, but maybe I don't use as many features as you all do.

There are a lot of settings that can be changed, like default homepage and search engine. The page isn't as well developed in terms of the appearance. Options don't jump out at you as much, but I figure I'll get used to it (about the time they change it). Ha!

Nancy, I don't use many features on any browser, but I like the old standard search box in addition to the address box at the top of the page. Also Favorites being able to click on and provide the old standard dropdown menu as in IE. Just these few things would be great, but I don't see it happening on Edge. Probably won't get it on Firefox either, but I'm leaning from all the recommendations here to download Firefox soon. Is there a website that's the best and safest to use to download Firefox?
