Problem with IE in Retro Mode


Recommended Posts

I have IE11 installed on my computer. However, many sites I have tried retro mode with display a message that says I am using an older version of IE no longer supported by that site and that I should update to a newer version of IE, and suggest IE9 or newer. One even thought I was using IE6. But as I said, I have IE11 installed and no trace of any older IE versions. Could this be a user agent issue? I have what I believe is the latest UA copied from this forum and I don't see any reference to IE in that UA string. Any advice as to how to get Maxthon to use IE11 and to show sites that I am using IE11 when I go into retro mode? Thanks.

 

Oh, and it is 5:54 P.M. where I am posting this, and Maxthon is still telling me it is 12:54A.M. Would really like to get this time zone problem solved soon.

Settings > Advanced > Browsing > Enable standard rendering in Retro Mode, make sure it's checked.

 

I've changed your time settings to US mountain time (GMT -7hrs). Hopefully the settings issue will get sorted this week sometime now that China is back from their holiday.

Thanks, 7Twenty, that box was not checked though I thought it was, so thanks for reminding me to check it. And BugMiss006, I have modified my UA, so thanks to you as well. Now I'll have to see how it all works.

It's the only settings (with cache location) which is not sync in the options with the Passport account. I forget often enough to enable it!
