These “Subscribe to this thread” link doesn’t work in IE8.  The page doesn’t refresh.  Can it be fixed?

The page doesn’t refresh in any browser - look closely at the link and it should have changed to “Un-subscribe from this thread”. Blame the over-use of javascript…

it also doesn’t change, unless i manually refresh the page…

It works fine here in Firefox. I wouldn’t touch IE (any version) if my life depended on it so I can’t help with it, I’m afraid.

i use ie8 and maxthon 2 [an ie7/8 based browser that has far superior features to firefox].  and a majority of users still use ie8.  can this be fixed to improved compatibility across more browsers?

I suspect that many people here use IE. There were a lot of complaints about the notifications not working at all, but that was fixed and they do now work. I don’t recall any about that link not working though, so it could be a settings problem. Beyond that, I don’t know.

Maybe some IE8 users will respond and tell us if it’s working for them. That may help narrow down the cause.

well it works, but that link doesn’t update its status correctly

Curious - it updates immediately here, without needing to refresh the page.

As I suggested above, we need other IE8 users to confirm this as an issue. If so, then I will gladly add it to to the list of issues requiring resolution. There’s little more that I, personally, can do.
