Possible IE9 problem with sky email
I recently upgraded to IE9, proper release version.
Maybe a coincidence, but it seems since doing so when I log in to my email account on the sky web site, nothing happens if I click on the 'more' link which should give access to the spam folder which I check frequently. All the other clickable links seem to be working.
Has anybody else upgraded to IE9 and has this problem?

Re: Possible IE9 problem with sky email
Gmail works fine but Sky mail won't open anything, wonder what they are doing within the page to cause that?

Re: Possible IE9 problem with sky email
Definitely an IE9 issue.
I just uninstalled going back to IE8 and all is well again.

Re: Possible IE9 problem with sky email
There does seem to be a problem within IE9 but there is a way around it.
> Log into your account through IE9
> Click the compatability mode icon (appears before the 'refresh' button next to where you enter the web url at the top of the screen. Highlights in a blue colour when clicked so you know its on.
> Now try and open an email and should work ok.
Note: If you click the icon before logging into your mail account it does not seem to work.
Its a bit of a pain but we may have to do this until sky fix the webpage. I suspect its a gmail problem as sky seem to have an old version of gmail so it may be google who end up sorting it, and I doubt they're gonna rush as all works well in Chrome !

Why blame Sky?

M$ is surely at fault. They keep rewriting HTTP, Java, PHP, etc. to suit their needs when these are standards set up by other people.
IE has never been a standard implementation of Internet protocols.
