Has anyone here used IE10 Metro in Windows 8 to view the forums?

I'm just curious, and slightly sad that the Xenforos can't be used with the Metro apps. Even vBulletin can't work well with Metro apps.

So, this will probably be a thread about the possible changes Xenforos will add in the near future, in order to be compatible with the new IE10 Metro app.

Simple fix: Use firefox.

Simple fix: Use firefox.

Firefox is not going to cut it. My hard drive is maxed out, leaving only 3 MB available on my 20GB partition. I can't believe that this maxed out, and it's working fine. And now 20GB is maxed out, I can't even store temporary internet files and cookies. Basically, it won't install for me.

There was an article stating the recommended hard drive space is 25GB for x64 OS. My problem is my hard disk is full of other stuff, and I have to put off reformatting, because I don't want to 100% completely rely on Win8 just yet.

Its says you have 23 gigabyte free.

But maybe your problem is neither IE nor Firefox but a too small hard drive mister.

you can use firefox portable on a different disk - no need to install

I hate the metro IE though.. the standard windowed one would be OK.. except I gave up on windows 8 and now only have server 2012.. which I used I.E. only to download firefox, since every single webpage that was on the internet needed to be "approved" as safe by default (and installing firefox was easier than finding the setting to turn that off)

I'll try maintaining my budget as much as I can. Since I have Windows 8 dual-booted with Windows 7, I can switch back and forth between the two, so it's no worries.

But I'm still curious to who else had Windows 8. This will be a topic for General Discussions then.

How about Safari?

Isn't Safari the Apple browser? I'll try and see if they are happy.

Update:

IE10 has been updated. Xenforos and vBulletin can now be viewed as normal.

can't you just re-size your partitions via gparted or similar? that or use Firefox portable on a different partition

 

[tom_mai78101]

Unfortunately, I only have one 80GB hard drive, with 56.93GB used up. I don't even have a CD drive.

Dont worry, CD's are outdated...

 

[tom_mai78101]

Anyway, I am still able to use Windows 8 on a 10GB partition. Just turn off the constantly nagging pop up telling you about the lack of space. It will do until I can convince my parents to take out another hard drive from another work PC.

I use it, but was more used to chrome. so I went back. But then chrome got somthign nasty in it, not sure what happened, and the reset for chrome didn't seem to fix it, so I been using IE 10 Its fast and slick for everything I do. I mostly stick to the one on windows desktop. I use the metro IE some times but not to often.
