How to enable native XMLHTTP support in IE
Users using Etherpad with Internet Explorer 7+ may have an issue where they cannot load a pad as it seems to get stuck on "Loading".
To fix this issue the user will need to enable native XMLHTTP support by going to: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced, scrolling down to security and ticking the box next to Enable Native XMLHTTP Support, then click OK.
If you do not see the advanced internet options, because you do not have the necessary administrator rights on your workstation, you need to contact your system administrator.
