    In that kind of situations, it's usually internet explorer that saves my day. And if internet explorer saved the day, it's time to go to bed and just try another day...

    @CWins Yeah is it really a day worth saving if you have to use IE?

    This reminds me of the Linux class I took in collage, thought I picked the ultimate, easy A... The online modules which was 90% of the class, required IE and I Had to obtain a copy of windows to run in virtualbox, on top of Linux, so I could run IE only to see a "Linux simulation"... But why?

    No, that's the moral of the story. Some stories just have a sad ending 😜
