Bonfire can't start in IE 8.0.7601.17514

[Chelmer]

Hi

I'm using Internet Explorer 8.0.7601.17514 and install the 1.6.2 Bonfire plug in. The installation seems successful and no complaint, however when i click the bonfire icon in the tool bar and a blank page was show in the left hand side of my current opened internet explorer. No exception/error page has been prompted. While i try to use FireFox and install the plug in and it was working fine. Anyone can help me with this as i use IE more often than Firefox. Cheers

Regards,

Anthony

There have been a few improvements to Bonfire since this question was asked - does the latest version still have these problems in that specific IE version?

I have tried to using a new tab, restart the computer and try again. Every time the side bar doesn't show up anything in IE of that version.

While i tried the plugin in other computer with IE 8.0 but different patches release, it works.

Does this happen every time you open IE, or was it a one-off problem?

Also, does the sidebar work if you open a new tab? I've seen that fix sidebar problems in IE before.
