I'm new here. A Google search brought me to a thread posted in mid-February by Cazman, which is shown as "Resolved" => but I could not see what the resolution was!

Although my problem may be with "php" code, nothing is yet clear about what is causing the problem.

At www.jimcarswell.com, I installed a WordPress blog on about May 10th, and kept developing it using Chrome. I added a commercial theme, Socrates, last weekend.

Only a day and a half ago, May 18th, did it occur to me to try to view it in MSIE. It doesn't work! It is fine in FireFox and Chrome. In the MSIE version, try clicking on "Home" => nothing moves.

I have tried disabling the Socrates widget, changing my modified "the_content()" code in index.php back to the original and disabling the added CSS code [used to change the colour [automatic Canadian spelling!] in the "more" display].

Nothing even slightly changes the underlying problem => I'm stymied!!!

Any suggestions GRATEFULLY received! [I want my life back!!!]

Thank you to the 86 people who viewed this post and especially to those who found time to actually visit my site to see the problem.

I had put in a support request this morning to Dan Nickerson, the creator of Socrates. He sent an email sometime after I posted this problem here. He took the trouble to look at my source code.

He mentioned a couple of WordPress problems I had created, but said that the cure was to reinstall Socrates.

I was concerned, but I needn't have been! I went to themes, activated one of the two themes which came with 2.9.2, and then DELETED Socrates. Then I re-installed it [complicated, took about 17 seconds and several keystrokes!!].

Surprise, surprise - it came back almost entirely identically as before and MSIE works just fine.

So, of course, [1] I'm happy; and [2] I greatly endorse both Socrates and Dan!!

Dan is an internet marketer, and Socrates was created to help people set up visually appealing blogs with the internal code strong enough to support marketing and selling "stuff".

Thanks once again, Jim
