You could describe here in text what you "got" but a picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes a lot more. Why couldn't you just say if the test site said Javascript was enabled or not? |

I then ran your 'check' URL again and this is what I got: http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?doJvmd=1&bhcp=1 Showing the target site's URL does *not* show /us/ what you "got". Describe it, copy and paste to here, or take a screenshot to upload and give a URL to /that/. We can't see what renders in your web browser unless you show us. So it was a security zone (Internet) that was misconfigured, or perhaps configured how you set it before (yourself, via a tweaker, or an add-on). The following was from my first reply: Where did you enable Javascript in IE? Was it at Control Panel - Internet Options - Security tab? Are you using a standard security level or did you customize the Internet level? If using a customized Internet level, under its Scripting section, is "Active scripting" set to Enabled? There are multiple zones depending on to where you host connects. Internet is when you are on the Web Did you simply change the one option for active scripting from disabled to enabled? Or did you reset the Internet security zone? If that setting was screwed up, maybe others are also screwed up and you should reset the Internet security zone. In fact, because IE might be screwed up in other settings (or not what you expect now), you might want to go to Internet Options - Advanced tab and do a reset of IE. |

Rendered page: https://imgur.com/a/HbOvNnD I opened this URL and it said: JavaScript is required to upload to imgur You don't have a second web browser to check or visit the problematic sites? IE will fail on some sites. Some sites refuse to allow connects from ancient web browsers, like at banks or e-stores, including IE. HTML5 has been adopted by most sites, so IE won't well behave there. You need a newer web browser to use either as a backup browser or as the primary browser with IE as the backup. Continuing use of an archaic web browser will have you encounter other problems. I see you have decided to continue letting Avast spamify your posts. |

It's not an e-mail, and there is no danger of viruses in text newsgroup posts. Also dumb is thinking anyone that reads "this message is clean" will believe it just because the sender said so. You get an e-mail from an unknown sender which has an attached executable file but it just must be clean because the sender said so in some text they added to their message. Uh huh. You come home late at night to find a burglar inside. He says, "I'm here for a free cleaning of your carpet but this was the only time open in my schedule." Must be so because he said so, right? Reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DZbSlkFoSU No danger from attachments in text-only newsgroups? All attachments are MIME parts within the message. All e-mail and NNTP posts are always sent as all plain text. EVERYTHING in an e-mail or newsgroup article is text. An attachment is encoded into a long text string and placed within a MIME part within the message (a section of text in the message). Even HTML is an attachment since it is within a MIME part. While some text-only NNTP servers will strip out the MIME parts to leave only the text-only content (or a MIME part marked as containing plain text), they peer with other NNTP servers that don't necessarily do the stripping. In fact, despite using a text-only NNTP server yourself, you may find some posts are HTML formatted hence there is a MIME part for that content. Some server allow MIME parts for other attachment types, and with peering then the text-only NNTP server you use may show what the other NNTP server allowed in a supposedly text-only newsgroup. You /hope/ your text-only NNTP server strips out the non-text parts of a message when it peers it from another server. If the peering is between text-only servers that strip out the non-text stuff then you'll see just the text. Lots of servers carry both text-only and binary newsgroups, and they may not strip submissions to the text-only newsgroups. |

A picture here of what that clock looks like in a browser. This might be the "expected result", visually. https://i.postimg.cc/sftKJnLy/clock-examples.gif I'll have to remember the https://postimages.org/ site for uploading screenshots. It does not require Javascript. The imgur.com site that I used to show screenshots does require Javascript, so the OP couldn't see my screenshorts until he figured out active scripting was disabled in IE's Internet security zone. Wonder how the active scripting setting in the Internet security zone got disabled. The assumption from the OP was that scripting was working at one time and then ceased to function at some point. Something happened between when working to when stopped working that altered his Internet security zone setting(s). He changed the settings, he used a tweaker that changed the settings, an add-on he installed changed the setting, some security software locked down IE, or perhaps he's infected despite using Avast. While Avast and other anti-virus programs have their on-demand (real-time) scanner looking for malware when a file is created or modified, they only check at that time. That's why I still schedule a full scan to look at all files. For example, there are times when the AV is disabled during which there is a window of opportunity for malware to sneak in. Since the file wasn't tested at that time, reenabling the AV afterward won't have it scan that file that got in while the AV was disabled. I schedule a weekly full scan of all files just in case any time during the week that I needed to temporarily disable the AV. |
