Bandcamp Issues

greg

I just wondered if anyone else has come across this issue with Bandcamp recently. I generally use IE9 64 bit as my first choice browser, especially since Apple stopped updating Safari. For the last week or so when I go into Bandcamp using IE I get a message saying

Sorry, Bandcamp no longer supports the version of Internet Explorer that you're using (7.0).
Please upgrade your browser to the latest version and try again.

All I get is a very basic listing along the left hand side of the screen. If I go into Safari it is fine. I have double checked IE and I my version is definitely IE9. I am using Windows 7 so do not want to go to IE10. Any thoughts?

I've been enjoying Chrome for a few months now - seems less buggy and resource-hoggy on my pretty old computer than IE.

I primarily use Firefox and haven't had an issue. Since I'm at work I do have IE (it's 10, though) and it seems to work fine.

I think you may be using compatibility mode in IE - I can get the same problem with IE 10 if I switch to compatibility mode.

There are two ways switching out of compatibility mode:-

1) On the address bar, there may be an icon that looks like a page with a horizontal break - clicking on that should switch compatibility mode on/off

2) On the tools menu (pressing 'Alt' will show the menu bar), there are two related items. "Compatibility View" will toggle the mode on/off for the current site, and "Compatibility View Settings" will show a list of sites that will be view in Compatibility mode. Just make sure that the "Display all websites..." is not selected, and that bandcamp.com is not in the list.

Also try running the 32-bit version of IE. Both should be installed by default, but I know 64-bit web browsing can be a pain sometimes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried Paul R's first idea, still the same. Then I went back to how it was to start with, and that cured the problem (It is clear rather than coloured in) But I will also try Chrome anyway.
