Unable to view DAZ Forums via MS Edge browser?

LeatherGryphon

I've got a spiffy new computer running Win10-Pro and I've been using the standard 'Microsoft Edge" web browser.  It works OK for seemingly everything else except the DAZ Forums page  which comes up all gray with a few small text words in the upper right hand corner.  Confused!   

I went ahead and downloaded Google Chrome as an alternative and the DAZ Forum works OK there, (witness this post)

Is this a known problem or am I special?

MS Edge is my preferred browser; but I can't see the DAZ Forums either..  I opened a support ticket January 12, 2019; but they told me that they couldn't reproduce the issue, now I had to use Chrome instead. Before January 2019 I used MS Edge to browse the forums without any problems, the issue started around that day.

This is what I see when I use Chrome.

You can still get to the forums with Edge in a slightly roundabout way. From the (blank) forums page, click the gear icons in the upper right corner and select Recent Discussions. That will bring you to a list of the latest threads in all forums.  You can stay there or follow a link on the right side next to a thread to go to a specific forum. From there you can go up a level or two level (to, say, General) and carry on. Bookmarks are also a good way to get back to any lower level.

Academically interesting but not worth my effort.  It's somebody else's problem.  I've got chrome installed now.  I'll use it when necessary. And if DAZ says they can't reproduce the problem, then who am I to question their diagnostic skill.   I'm only using Edge because this is a brand new computer and it's the first time I've dived fully into Windows10, and because Microsoft says I should.  You know, promises of rewards beyond imaginings.

I put a ticket in for it back in May and was told they were aware it is a known issue with the Edge browser.  I still can't get it to work so I just use Firefox for the forums.

It's been a known issue since last year when I first submitted a ticket to Daz..

Daz has no idea why it doesn't work so I used Chrome browser till the first Edge test browser came out using the chromium engine.. worked fine ever since and now the beta is just as good and faster than chrome and firefox.

Thanks to all for the info.

Yeah, I just type in the search button commons, or whatever category I want, then click on the link at the bottom of the first thread to go to the page.

I never use Microsoft's sorry excuse for a browser, always firefox. New computer with nothing but internet explorer, or edge or whatever they are calling it now? Use it to download Firefox and then never again.
