I use CG for a very long time. It works great.

Recently I moved to a new server and now started strange problems.

Output generated by CG is fine when viewed by Firefox, but problems start when you switch to IE .

IE seems to have problem with downloading html code of page thumbnails.php or displayimage.php - it cannot display all page, it cuts it off after 10-17 kB. You can see it be refreshing this page http://www.joemonster.org/mg/thumbnails.php?album=88

This is the second day we cannot do anything with this, maybe you can give us some hint to resolve this?

Is the new server worse than the old one? It takes forever to load... even on a corporate connection. I think the way IE works is that it waits for all elements to download before it shows the page. Since it takes forever, it probably gives up.

I would suggest ditching the new server due to poor performance.

Speed's good for me, although I don't have IE. Updating to 1.3.5 is recommended, but it's not necessarily a fix for your issue.

Seems okay now. Maybe there were network issues earlier. Since it isn't so slow, IE loaded and stopped as you said.

However, when I switched to classic theme, the page loaded fine in IE, so it might be an issue with your custom theme.

Thanks for your attention and some thoughts especially from CF Team. I do much and deeply appreciate your work.

Although you didn't guess why was that happenig, we finally managed to resolve this problem.

It was Apache headers fault.

Internet Explorer had problems when pages were served as gzipped with negotiation some headers between browser and server.

Solution: after turning off gzip all thing start to work just fine.

Another: tell Apache not to negotiate whether to send gzipped page  or not, but send only gzipped pages.

Both worked perfectly.

Thanks for posting the solution.
