Am I the only one left that still cannot access the trainer tools for my stable horses? Can't get a performance report - can't vet a horse - can't retire a horse. It is getting very frustrating!

Dusty,

You might consider downloading Google Chrome and installing it. Even though my client game wants to launch Internet explorer, I have my stable page and the community page bookmarked in Google Chrome and open it instead of launching from the client.. Everything works fine for me now.

Dusty, I am having the exact same problem. I sent a message to Support late last night, however I have not heard back from them as of yet.

Google Chrome

I just downloaded Google Chrome and everything works fine now. With that said, I really do not like having to log into google everytime I want to view my stable page. It is a bit inconvenience and the paying customer should not have to adjust his way of doing things to try a new site.

I do like the way everything is set-up with the new version. I will admit that it is easier to access your horses with everything in one location.

I noticed google chrome also got rid of all the annoying ads going across the message boards of the forums.

Thanks for the replies. So I

Thanks for the replies. So I must be the only one left. When I click on any horse trainer tool title I get an error message - "Unknown file type." Doing a little research using the "Find" button it says the MIME text/javascript file type is not recognized by Windows. And there are all sorts of add-on programs I can download to fix the issue. Can HRF create a file to fix the issue? It seems odd that the new platform uses files that are not recognized by Windows, but I have supplied this info in hopes it will lead support to the core problem. I am going to hold off on using Google Chrome for a while in the hopes support will solve my problem. I just hope my small problem does not get cruched by the bigger problems and forgotten.

Takes a few minutes to download and install Google Chrome. I use it exclusively for HRF.

Here's what I found on a very

Here's what I found on a very short search for Google Chrome, "A study has shown that users are four times more likely to be tricked into downloading malware than be compromised by an exploit.[107] A May 2011 study reported Chrome 10 blocked only 13% of malicious URLs, the same as Safari and Firefox, behind Internet Explorer 9 which blocked 92%, and 100% with application-based filtering enabled. Referring to that study, Ars Technica wrote in July 2011 that "Even with the false positives, Microsoft's approach appears to be more secure." [108][109] A February 2012 study reported that Chrome 15 had a 34.1% malware-blocking rate.[110][111] Neither study analysed exploits that install malware without the user being aware (for example clickjacking and drive-by downloads)."

Maybe all that has been fixed by now, but I do not know that. Any way I am leary about changing browsers. It does not sound like such a great deal to me.

Like I said

I only use Google chrome for this site only. I use explorer for everything else.

@Dustyla2

Try a new version of one of these browsers. It should fix your problem:

Google Chrome:

or

Internet explorer:

Thanks guys, but my computer

Thanks guys, but my computer is brand new (less than one month old) and I have the latest versions of everything on it. This site should work with what I've got.

Guys Just a suggestion

Never rely on the browser to do most of the blocking none of them are impenetrable
I strongly suggest Bitdefender Total Security picked # 1 a few years in a row by Cnet.com I have had it for 1and half years know and even when I went to a maliciousness site it blocks everything before entering so far is the best security I have ever had and I recommend it to everyone.
