This is a tech forum, full of really advanced, smart people.  And your asking why IE doesn't fully work here?  IE doesn't work properly ANYWHERE most tech forums I find aren't optimized for IE because 0.1% of people will use it.

Yes, yes I am. Was looking for more insight into it. I have no problem browsing this website in another browser.

It has been going downhill for quite a while. Hate to admit it. I still use it, though I use chrome as my primary. 

I've always wondered, why use two browser ? Why would you want to switch ? I've never been in a situation where a page wouldn't load in chrome or something like that.

Well, I really out of all honesty dont know why that happens.  But I call it an IE problem, because if it works on every other browser there is no reason for it not to work on IE.

Well mainly for development purposes to keep separate sessions,a nd test in both. For browsing I do all site customizations, stuff like user styles, in firefox and run normal on chrome. Also, for pandora, I run firefox in private browsing, so I can close and restart to bypass the skip limit without losng my place. Many different reasons I guess. Also, on some computers, chrome gets screwy playing youtube while browsing in other tabs. Makes it laggy sometimes.

Thanks, those are all valid reasons I didn't think about.
