I tested IE in a virtual machine in both windows 7 & windows 10 and it appears alright to me. The IE version is 11 in both. I also tested a win98 box and IE won't work b/c it only supports 40bit encryption in the export version(ITAR). Firefox version 2 loads the page with minor issues. So unless your system is really out of date. I couldn't find a issues.

Did you do the following?

KRJ said:
What version of IE? Did you try clearing the cache? Do you have anti-virus software installed if so what kind/version? What are you security settings set at in IE(whats enabled/disabled)?

It could be old cookies trying to apply old setting to the new page which would cause errors. If you didn't clear cookies and your cache that would be where I would start. The website seems to display fine for me in every OS I have tried expect for OS2 warp. With out having any info from you its really hard to say what is causing your troubles.

If you are using a old browser its doubtful this is the only site in the world that would give you issues but it maybe the only one you use.

I'm useing IE and CA is the ONLY banner ad I can not access properly !!!. It has to be set at 1000 magnifaction??? And Format is SU !!! I don't use chrome for anything else but accessing CA's site. From my end NO CHANGE!!!!

We have found the banner properly displays on 20"+ monitors. For monitors small than 20", the website will display similar to thew mobile site. The developers are aware this is not acceptable and they are working on a solution that will allow the website and banner to display properly on monitors down to 13". This should be resolved in the next week.

For all monitors smaller than 13", the website will only display in mobile setting. Sorry, there is nothing we can do about this. To have the site display in desktop mode on really small monitors will introduce a whole set of new problems. Plus, I am not aware of desktop monitors being smaller than 13" or at least they are not very common.

I hope this helps.

I think the statistics speak for themselves. Internet Explorer is way way past it's prime, all around the world, including Canada. Those that code in HTML know well from experience, that a coded sited that works well in Chrome, FireFox, Opera and Safari will need minimal 'work-arounds' for multi-browser compatibility. Now inject IE version 9, 8 and 7, the work-arounds baloon, and most developers do not even bother coding for version 6, as it's hopeless.

People can complain all they want, but CamAm is thinking long-term, and the growing pain will payoff when everyone else will be caught with their out-of-date sites designed for out-of-date browsers like Internet Explorer. Even Microsoft is coming out with a new browser (codename: Spartan) and dropping the Internet (boat anchor) Explorer, because they want to shed the negative image of their current/past browser branding.

Check out this stat's counter for browser history usage in Canada (and the world) - it might take about 30 seconds to load due to volume of data.

This all sounds reasonable and logical. But gunnutz is about selling product .Not who has the flashiest web site?? So CA 's site will still be around when every other gunnutz site will be redundant??? Including Gunnutz itself. Why didn't the computer GEEK post your info instead of us customers being jerked around for the last several weeks?? Even CA has admitted that the new site is just not working!!!!

What browser are you using? Have you cleared your cache? You have provided no information on your situation other than the website doesn't work for you. With out any information it is impossible to figure out what your problem is. If its a problem with the website itself I am sure canam would like more info so they can fix the problem.

Here's the thing....it's not his problem, it's Canada Ammo's. They're people who want to sell him something. They're the ones who should be bending over backwards to make sure their website is usable by all. Most people who have trouble loading the site won't try and fix the problem. They will just shop elsewhere.

sailor723 is right.

I am still here and ready to help anyone who can provide me with a specific problem along with details of their particular platform. I will do anything I can to help our customers. Please keep in mind that I have addressed a number of issues to date and some will require a bit of time and patience for us to implement a solution.

In my opinion, CGN is not about 'selling product' but, about adding value to people, be it through exchange of ideas, opinions, information and/or products.

As for CanAm having "the flashiest web site", I have to disagree. If someone is used to driving around in an '89 Hyndai Stellar (and it's 2015), thinking, 'all these people in their flashy cars' I think is misdirected. In 2015 even a cheap Chevy sedan is flashy compared to a '89 Hyndai Stellar. In 2015, what you call "flashy" is the norm to me. All "modern" sites are flashy compared to even ones from 3 years ago.

I perceive the latest CanAm website as 'professional' and reputable, because it takes a lot more effort (time and money) to produce a site like the latest CanAm one, versus their past one. In the past I have past-up purchasing on certain e-tailer web sites because they looked questionable, and only later-on did they get my business once I have verified their validity - non-gun related. They missed an opportunity to get my currency, instead someone else did.

I think there is some miscommunication. I didn't say other sites will be redundant, I said 'outdated'. CA's site is written/coded and designed with the latest web language (HTML5/CSS3), as of 2015. Hence, as the standard moves forward (with newer versions), websites written/coded & designed in older language/code (i.e HTML4.1/CSS2?) will eventually show compatibility issues with newer browsers especially on the mobile side as more and more people are moving to handheld devices to do online business. And they will be loosing business because of "buggy" site, which will have problems running on Chrome version 65, or whatever else.

Now I do recognize that CanAm did fail to properly vet the site prior to release (probably due to their lack of understanding WRT multi-browser compatibility), which was also a big fail on their web developer's side. The web designer(s) did a great job on the GUI :cool:(in my opinion), I know some people don't like it :runaway:, but the web developer(s) are the ones that fell short.

In the end, I still think that this forum is a great tool, that is helping CanAm and the CGN members to communicate in a direct format about the site and any (current) issues. So it can be worked out, and everyone will be happy, win-win.

I'm starting to slowly drift to other sponsers for my purchases. I quess I would call myself a average CA customer as I passed 5 figures worth of purchases a while ago. I'm not PO ed at Ca. It is just not as simple and convient to go to there site. I'm still buying from CA but maybe not so much in the future.
 
Just bring back the old site. This one is just retarded.

Some font are way too big, some other way too small, product layout and animated menus and everything just does not fit.

My opinion.

^^^^^^^
Yeah. Not too crazy about it either. When I go to print screens for my purchase, the fonts go all wonky, way too big on some, like HUGE url addresses, text overlapping, etc. This did not happen before. What's with having to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find the menu headings??

I'm 62 yrs. old ----- not computer literate at all----have no idea what you guys are talking about concerning browsers & fire foxes. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat. The old site worked for me. New one doesn't. I have $$$$$ to spend. Can't do it at Canada Ammo any more.
