This is the best way to switch on Internet Explorer compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge or at the very least the most functional way to use compatibility mode.

As some of us morn the passing of IE11, especially those of us who work in the CCTV field, where lots of DVR’s and NVR’s require plugins to display live video and playback video.

Thankfully, Microsoft has now put in place a way of circumventing this by using Microsoft Edge and letting you put the browser into compatibility mode.

 

Set up Compatibility Mode in Microsoft Edge

To do this they need to set up compatibility mode. To do this do the following:

  1. Go to settings and more which are the three little dots in the top corner of the browser, thus.

2. Once in settings, type “compatibility” into the search box as shown below and then select allow from the drop down box indicated

3. Restart Microsoft Edge and then go back into settings

4. Click on the Appearance option in the left menu and then scroll down to select which buttons to show on the toolbar:

 

 

This will add a new button to the toolbar shown thus:

 

If you wish to use compatibility mode for any of your websites now, all you need do is click the Compatibility Mode button and Microsoft Edge will run this website in Compatibility mode.

Anxiety is killing me

Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Every waking moment besieged, Eyes flutter open, there it looms, A relentless presence, sealing my doom. Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Lying in bed, trapped in dread, To rise or to stay, the dilemma weighs, A prisoner of my own anxious maze. Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Mind racing, thoughts in disarray, A …

Gender GP, what is going on? Poor service

I first started using Gender GP nearly 4 years ago, but recent service changes have left me thinking “Gender GP, what is going on?” This is because your recent service is absolutely appalling. Let me just explain that I have been using Gender GP for all my gender service up until 12 months ago when …

Yes I know I’m transgender

Yes, I know I’m transgender and some people might not understand or grasp what’s happened in my life to get me to where I am today. And, let me be brutally honest, I’m not asking or expecting people to accept me or understand my life or who I am anyway! Live and let live is …

Trans orgasms

The heterosexual community has no idea about trans orgasms, however the news and media like to speculate and pass judgement on who it feels to orgasm or experience orgasms as a transgender person. They ultimately will never know as they are not transgender people and they know not what hormones and blockers do to bodies …

So nice to work somewhere completely accepting

It’s so nice to work somewhere completely accepting and this past month that’s what’s happened.

I know I haven’t written about my gender journey for quite some time but this is something those wishing to pursue a gender change on their medical records need to be aware of as it might cause you problems and that’s changing your NHS medical number. On the 23rd November my primary care provider, which …

Traumas

You know what pisses me off when people say, “all the trauma you’ve been through in life, they must have made you stronger”. No. No they didn’t! All that trauma actually did was give me some very weird coping skills, a fucked up sense of humour and a lot of really nasty habits and kinks!
