This is an older browser, however cookies are enabled in the browser. It’s probably thinking that it’s
-either not a browser
-not using cookies

How old is the browser\what browser is it?

Because i’ve got an old pc with IE from 2010 and it still works :confused:

–edit–
Afterthought, does the browser support JavaScript? Because that could also be part of the problem

The security system, enforced on InfinityFree servers and non-removable, requires that you have cookies and JS enabled in your browser. If your browser doesn’t support any of those, the “Cookies are not enabled” page will be displayed. Note that this mandatory security system is also responsible for displaying ?i=1 at the end of the URL.

It does support JavaScript, however I think that it lacks the ability for it. One moment while I check a newer version.

It was the browser :neutral_face:

At least it can still be accessed by a good amount of operating systems, so I’m not too mad about it.

What operating system are you using? This could help explain why you are using an older browser. Also, what older browser are you using?

Was testing how old of an operating system can use my site. Oldest confirmed working was Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 6 (?). Internet Explorer 5 on Windows 2000 was causing the issue. It’s probably an Internet Explorer 5 JavaScript/Cookie problem has upgrading to Internet Explorer 6 worked on Windows 2000.

IE is in the graveyard, and for good reason. Anything below IE9 has not been supported by pretty much all modern browsers for a long time now.

Also, I highly recommend you move away from IE, it has not been getting security updates for an amount of time that is starting to be concerning at this point (which makes sense, it’s dead and will remain so for the rest of time)

I know. I don’t even use IE as a main browser.

I just do it because I want to make a website that’s as accessible as possible.

The good news is that next to noone will be accessing your site with such an old version of IE. So thats postiive.

I’ve just checked, my old pc that I checked on was running IE7… shows how long its been since i used it lol
