<p>[QUOTE="NumisMan77, post: 4996018, member: 88103"]Despite some members disagreeing with me, the browser that you use, makes a huge difference. I started out using Google Chrome but, got locked out. I switched to Firefox and was able to complete the purchase of a Silver Eagle. It wasn't easy, because the Mint's website is so crappy that I got to the point where it was suppose to populate my saved CC as the payment method and "Oops! An error occurred!". I also got to the point where I clicked 'Place Order' and got the error message or even got logged out. The one saving grace seems to be, once you placed an item in your shopping bag, it'll be there until you checked out. Also, using Firefox, I was never asked to prove that I was a human being. Firefox was slow but, it did work. However, after I was done. I tried to check my order status but, the website was still doing the 'Funky chicken'. I switched to Microsoft Edge and noticed that the pages loaded or refreshed very quickly. I'm thinking that the best browser to use might actually be one that I didn't try until much later, MS Internet Explorer. I work with the government a lot and have noticed that many of their websites are partial to IE. As a matter of fact, a lot of government organizations tell you to IE, because it's the only browser that's certified to work on their website and there have been reports of some browsers not working correctly on their website. I just experienced such an incident today when I was using a DoD website and it started acting up. I was trying to figure out why it was acting up, I read the instructions that were provided with the link and it warned that IE should be used as Chrome and Firefox were proven to give unpredictable results. I switched to IE and was able to complete my work without any issues at all. We have some more winners coming up on Monday (Nov 9th) and also on the 17th. I think the 17th will be a nightmare. I you don't have multiple browsers on your device, you should as well as bookmarking the pages for the upcoming products so, you can go right to them, with a minimum of clicks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
