I'm not that good at deciphering those messages...

All I know is that every day, I run across a few sites that won't open or operate properly in IE, so when that happens I go to Mozilla or Chrome and then they work fine.

In fact, I often encounter trouble on TER with IE and have to use Chrome to get things to open.  The only reason I don't use Chrome all the time is that for some reason, type displays on a much smaller font size in Chrome and is hard to read.

I just love computers.  Without them, what else would there be to talk about?

CAN, and if so WHY would a popular escort mall make it impossible to access its site/web pages?  
I can access all my respective e-mail accounts, and all other websites/web pages and respective "log-in" windows (including TER). I cannot however gain usable access to a large regional escort mall, or its associated review site; only their respective "Home page" displays.  

  In the lower left corner I get a smsll "error on page" icon. If I double click on it it displays the below information.
   User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB7.4; chromeframe/27.0.1453.110; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)

If you looked at the error message he quoted, you would see he is using Mozilla. ;)

In the latest Chrome there is a icon that looks like three lines stacked on top of each other. Hit that and you will see six down a zoom area, play with that and it will allow you to increase the font size.  

If you have an older version of CHrome look for the wrench icon in the upper right corner and go to options > under the hood > Font size and adjust accordingly.

Actually 'storm' it appears that the site I was having trouble with has recently changed much of its layout and the "Mozilla" error report came from trying to access the site using the tried & true 'Internet Explorer' browser.  

  I trepidatiously down-loaded Mozilla/firefox; setting it as an alternate browser in my system. Voila! The problematic website(and its sister site) now works as they should when I use the "alternate" "Mozilla" browser.

  I hope this is not a harbinger of a future where one must have multitudes of "browsers" and the need to diagnose which one of them to use for a particular website :(  

  A thanks to all for your imput.  :

...used nothing but Firefox (Mozilla) for years and never had a problem with any site. IE was always a pain. Once my daughter & son in law told me about Firefox I've never gone back.

Most web browsers interpret code pretty much the same way...IE tries to reinvent the wheel. Not only do people have to make exceptions for IE when coding...they sometimes have make a separate exception for EACH f***** IE version. There are actually code snippets (if IE, do this, if IE version 8 do this) that do not exist (and are not needed for ) any other browser. IE also caches a lot of unnecessary info. Can't figure out why they don't join the rest of the world, especially as people such as yourself (and me) look elsewhere and never go back.

Being a motorcycle/car guy all my life and having friends in clubs like MG Owners of America where the motto was always "if it ain't broke don't fix it"; the idea of any Johnny-come-lately software for something that already confounded the shit out of me was simply asking for trouble. And with the many early stories and discussion board posts telling of inability to run TER, or chat, instant messenger or other sites, and fearful warnings of "Never attempt to remove the Firefox program" IE has been tantamount to mom, apple pie and Chevrolet since my first Gateway 386 in 1997. For those reasons when I downloaded the Mozilla I chose NOT to have it go into my "favorites" etc for fear of a complication that I couldn't self diagnose and a subsequent costly computer shop repair.  

  Back at the beginning of my computer experience I feared having too much of my life contained in this tin box of diodes, chips, pancake fans and wires. Now even my motorcycle relies on three separate computers and a "CAN-BUS" electrical system

It it quite possible that although the main page is displaying, that the site is under maintenance. I've had this happen a couple of times with various sites(some site owners will actually have a message displaying the site is under scheduled maintenance), while other just go ahead with the updates and maintenance, and nothing but the home page will display. I would say try it again the next day or so... if still nothing, the home page usually has a 'Contact Us' where you can inform them of the problem(they may not even be aware).
