I don't suppose it'd help.
Seriously though, txcas -- I posted a suggestion right before your message. Why didn't you give me feedback on this..?

Wedge.org with Wndows 8.1 and IE11 is broken on my computer. My forum is not broken though...

Pandos you seem too be running an old version of IE11.

Me and at least some of the others with problems run a newer version.


Edit:
I just deïnstalled KB2976627
Now I am on the version of Pandos and the site looks good.
Conclusion:
Microsoft change some things in IE11 with the last update that causes this.

Sorry Nao for not finding this out earlier and telling is was before the updates of patch Tuesday.
Probably the IE patch came a bit earlier than the rest,

Sounds like an very old bug in IE.
In IE9 they have rendered mime types in a wrong way.
Also it's known that there are some problems with IE11 with the latest release.
Perhaps it's wise to keep this issue in mind and wait for the next update....

It is just Microsoft trying to control the internet, saying you do it our way, and make it work for IE or else....LOL

If after the next update of IE11 it still goes wrong I guess you have to deal with it.
Then it's no bug but a permanent change.

Yeah, but Wedge does gzipping the 'proper' way...
Safari used to choke on that, too. They eventually fixed it. Wedge works around these old versions by simply disabling gzipping on old Safari's.
However, having to disable on Windows 8.1 + IE 11 is pretty weird..!

Apparently they say this can be fixed by changing the extension to gz.css instead of css.gz... Dunno. Can anyone test this, if you know how to change it..? I really don't want to install a pirate copy of Windows 8 and update ie11 on it just for that... (Because yes, I have no plans to upgrade from my legit Windows 7! And Microsoft doesn't offer an iso of win 8 for ie testing... Color me surprised...)

Alternatively, I could simply disable gzipping on IE11 (including on platforms where it isn't buggy, e.g. Win7), just tell me what you prefer guys...

Well I can test, perhaps tomorrow... if I get what renaming the file would mean. I guess it is server-sided. I'll try on an old useless forum I'm hosting :angel: (E-T)

It'd require updating both some PHP and the htaccess, so no it's not easy to achieve if you don't know the codebase too well... ;)

(I always find it ironic that E.T., which was historically the *very* first forum to ever perm-ban me, ended up running software I wrote! :^^;:)
