afab Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 A user of mine running XP on an ancient system is having Facebook issues -- he can see all the pictures in the ads but none of the pix anywhere else -- posts, avatars, etc. Any thoughts what setting needs to be switched to fix this? I've written to Facebook support twice -- not even a note to tell me to go away. Thanks folks. Stephen Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted March 16, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted March 16, 2016 What browser is he using, IE or Firefox? Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
starbuck Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 To follow up on Cindy's question.... A lot of sites don't support old versions of IE. Plus Facebook has now switched to using HTML5 as a default for web videos that appears on its News Feed, Pages and the embedded Facebook video player. Using Firefox will help to get around this. 1 Quote
IceMan37 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Agreed definitely use Firefox on an older OS like that for a few reasons. One, for modern website compliance and compatibility, and two for security reasons which are compounded when using something as old as Windows XP. Quote
Mommalina Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks all! Now I can give my kids and grandkids another excuse not to rejoin Facebook (quit a few years ago). As long as my XP computer and Firefox survive, even a free offer of a new MAC or Windows 10 computer would not sway me. ;) Quote
