IE10 User agent sting displaying trident 5 instead of 6 - user-agent

Recently we encountered one of our customers encountering problems loading one of our secure pages. Then all of a sudden the problems disappeared.
The customer recently upgraded IE9 to IE10 on Win7. When he was having a problem the user agent string indicated "trident/5.0". When the problem appeared to resolve itself, the only difference in the user string was "trident/6.0"
Is this a problem or am I barking up the wrong tree here.

Investigating Unknown Network Error in Firefox

There is something weird happening on the website of the company I'm working for.
On both Firefox and Firebug console log, I get an unknown network error.
There is no code reference for the error, and I can't track it on other browsers.
However, it's there, and I don't know how to solve it, nor what it is.
Other sites with the same theme, same domain registrar and on the same server work just fine, showing no problems at all.
What the heck is that??
It seems that the latest update of Contact Form 7 Plug-in solved the problem!

Joomla content not displaying on other computers

I've build a Joomla website and it has been online for like 2 years now, always worked fine.
Recently I added a Google maps plugin and changed some header images.
Strange thing is, those changes are only displaying on my own laptop. The problem is not that I'm by accident viewing a local website, I'm 100% visiting the website online. I just opened the website on chrome with www.mywebsite.com and it displays all changes made in the backend. When I log out and back in again to the backend trough /administrator I can see the changes.
Now when I open the website on another computer (tried like three different ones), the changes are not displaying. Even when I log in to the backend through /administrator, still online on the same network, I am not seeing the changes made on my laptop and vice versa.
Frontend sometimes can have problems with caching, but the cache is disabled so this can't be the problem. And even if so, why would the backend display other data on 2 different computers..?
Also I've already tried removing the browser cache on those other computers.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm guessing it might be a problem on the side of my hosting company..
It had to do with a rule in the hosts-file on my laptop which directed to an old location/ip-adress of the website which has been moved to another server.

MissingMethodException in application on Marketplace

I have the following exception in my application when it's downloaded from marketplace (as beta):
MissingMethodException: Could not load type [and here my regular application class name goes].
The weird thing is that happens ONLY after app was downloaded from Markerplace. When I run application from locally build XAP, everything goes fine.
The exception occurs only on Windows Phone 7 phones, for Windows Phone 8 everything is OK.
Even more strange is that this error happens even when I revert to revisions that were working for sure! I suggest that something has changed in XAP repacking scheme in Marketplace that has broken this, but have no ideas how to overcome the problem.
Has anyone any ideas on what to do, except removing code on random, publishing and seeing whether it works?
Thanks in advance!
It's really weird, but the problem disappeared by itself. I was submitting different revisions of my code to marketplace (from early near-empty versions) to track down what change had caused the issue, but when next portion of publications was ready I found out that the problem has gone!
I noticed that on Friday (Dec 13) it look unusually long for publications to appear in the Marketplace - usually it takes 2-3 hours, but my publications submitted in the morning appeared only next day. And, these publications were functioning without this strange error.
So I'm even more convinced of my suggestion about changing XAP processing.
Hope they fixed it and this never happens again.
#Neil, thanks for trying to help!

SSL Slow in IE 8.0.7600.16385IC

I'm having a performance problem on my company's web site using a specific version of IE 8 to load a page using https. Here's what I know.
Server:
Virtual machine running on VMWare ESX
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP 2
Tomcat 6.0.16
Client:
Windows XP and Window 7
Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385IC
Page loads/refreshes in under 1 second using HTTP.
Page loads/refreshes in 15-16 seconds in HTTPS using this version of IE.
Problem reproduced on multiple client machines with same IE version.
Problem reproduced on multiple client machines with different Windows versions (XP and 7).
No performance problem using Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Safari from same machine.
No performance problem using other versions of IE 8 on other machines.
Slow load causes virtually no CPU, memory, or I/O spike on server or client machine.
No performance problem on other sites using HTTPS on same client machine.
The pages in question use JavaScript and innerHTML to replace the contents of div elements to create a collapsible menu, and an iframe to display some content. A couple of the div elements contain images. If I remove the iframe and the JavaScript, the performance issues go away. However, rewriting the entire site to make these changes would be very time consuming. We're in the process of replacing the whole site, but it may be 2-3 months before we do so and we really cannot live with this slowdown that long. I've already looked at several IE tuning options, such as disabling add ons, running IE-rereg, and resetting IE, with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
The version you mention is the version that shows in Windows 7, is it not (i.e., in Windows XP, it should show like 8.0.6001.18904)? Have you applied all recent patches? More particularly, have you applied the KB980182 security patch?
That particular patch was an "out of band" patch, which means it has been brought to the public in haste and outside of the normal upgrade cycle. It came out April 22, 2010, or about. If you have installed the patch (either automatically, or by hand), try uninstalling or rollback using the Backup and Restore Center and select the restore point that mentions that fix.
While KB980182 caused quite some trouble and weird behaviors, you may try the same approach with other patches if rolling back to before KB980182 didn't help: rollback using Backup and Restore Center to an earlier moment in time, and check if the problem goes away.
This type of testing is a nuisance, I know, but I'm afraid there's little else you can do.
