Re: GUI Jwalk to Legasutie upgrade issues, URL caching, IE 11 compatibility issues

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Paul.

I haven't used IE for anything except testing compatibility for years.
But, if you're having these issues it sounds like something you should
bring up with the vendor.

It could be a case where they simply aren't updating their product to stay
current (or your versioning is old and needs an update).

I've never seen the type of issues you're having and to me that throws up a
huge red flag.  If you have support, contact the vendor(s).
