  Hi

  I set up my site about a month ago but have been unable to get the Reader tab to load.

  I know this might sound a little stupid but I have no idea what it is supposed to do or how I am to use it as I have never seen it.

  When I click on the Reader tab I get a message saying ‘Loading’ and a little image a bit like a petal shapes in a circle which looks like it is loading the page but it never does.

  Can anyone help pelase?

  Thanks

  Hi there,
  Please help us help you by providing some details:
  (1) How areyou are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

  via DSL

  IE version 9

  (3) Are you using the secure https:// login?
  yes, the box is ticked

  If you run IE9 in compatibility mode it renders as if it’s IE7 and IE7 is not supported. You’re welcome.
