I have to post here because since the latest revamp of the old forum, I cannot use it anymore.

Please check out the attached screenshot and tell me what I have missed.
In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

You need to upgrade your browser to something more current.

If you have an older version of windows with IE try installing Firefox or chrome

Laptop - Windows 10 64 Bit, Core i7-3632QM processor, 8GB of RAM, 1Tb Hdd, Nvidia Geforce GT 740m

I had the same problem until I switched from Internet Explorer 10 to IE 11 . Don't like the tabs in IE 11 but it works . I have Firefox also but
really don't use it .

Thanks for the feedback - with Firefox it works, I had it allready installed for another site that didn't work either.

It's just mildly irritating that the FPSC forums regard my Win7+IE10 as "not current" while the Game Guru forums make no problems.

This has been done as Microsoft will be dropping support for anything less than IE11 in January, IE10 and below are missing loads of modern web features that the TGC sites will start using in the future, there are a lot of changes coming in the new year.

We have taken this as the chance to drop support for old browsers, we won't be fixing any bugs on these outdated browsers for any TGC service. It saves a lot of development time if we don't worry about the bad standards support of old IE versions.

Rest assured we will support IE11 and will fix any bugs, as that is the latest IE version on Windows 7 it shouldn't be an issue for anyone, apart from those on corporate machines, but as Microsoft is dropping support soon you should be in store for an upgrade.
