Cryptic Store doesn't support IE8?

I just got off chat with Support Chat.

I am unable to purchase any atari tokens, I keep on getting the rejection banner about not having a valid CC.

Its the same CC I used to create my account.

I was told that the store is not behaving with IE8 and I need to use a different web browser.

Really? And this info is not in the FAQ list? And there is no ETA as to a fix?

    Several fixes

    Internet Explorer 9
    Firefox
    Google Chrome.


    I can personally vouch that chrome works flawlessly.

    I have used IE8 for the C Store many times before IE9 was released. I would check your settings in IE8 to see if that is the problem. I had to walk one of my fleetmates through performing a "reset" of IE8 before he could purchase AT. Its possible that some 3rd party program locked your IE settings (which is what happened to my fleetmate).

    Go to Tools => Internet Options and then go to the advanced tab and choose the rest button.

    I've come across Micro$oft sites that don't work properly with IE8, if they can't be bothered to support it properly themselves, why should anybody else...

    Fair play. I don't use or like safari for windows. It'd my first choice on OS X but the Windows version just feels clunky somehow.

    there is also the setting known as "compatibility view"

    and MS is using silverlight more within the browser now.

    IE8 works, i have had no issues.

    (note: i use chrome 99% of the time, IE is used when my campus wont support chrome or other browsers for work or assignments, or virtual connection uses)

    This sums it up for me also. Never had any issues purchasing Atari Tokens from the C-Store with IE8. I just recently moved to IE9 a couple of weeks ago. Disable any third party proxies, pop-up blockers, etc and try again.
