you know i am surprised no one is saying we need to cater to those useing an 800x600 screen resolution with the IE6 issue.
my point here is if we as webmasters or the IB/vB team catered to every browser or screen res. they would be taking 10 years to code the product.
my site does support IE and FF based browsers maybe not the forums but the galleries do i use msie.php and firefox.php and that alons is a PITA because every time i add content i have to edit two files. now imagine if i catered to different browsers and screen resolutions. i would be editing hundreds of files instead.
i can't help what my forums look like in IE6.
i think it is funny though through all the years i had forums on my site i have more members now that IE6 is NOT supported than i did when IE6 WAS supported. even when my sister site was open i had less active members and thats back when IE6 was brand new!
i am not so closed minded i thing people need to use IE8 but the new standard for MANY PAY SITES is IE7
LOts OF shockwave and flash sites say to use IE7 or FF2.5 or above veoh, crunchyroll and even some social netweorking sites reccomend IE7 are they all wrong aswell? there are a good many other sites useing the IE7 logic that i did NOT post but those are sites i do not go to often for no other reason than they hold no intrest for me.
for that matter even banking websites state you need to use IE7.Comment

A little of fantasy thinking here: I envision days when there will be 3-D monitors. Industry is already working on 3-D tv sets. Imagine browsers being used for delivering 3-D content over the net like netflix. IE6 will be by then a prehistoric fossil. After seeing Avatar I am sold on 3-D stuff. Did you notice transparent concaved monitors and 3-D mock-ups of the terrain in the command room? Forgot to mention portable detachable monitors that hold screen data while being carried between computers.
Imagine you open your browser and objects just leap out of the monitor to surround your visual surrounding. Like "You've got mail" pop-up right around your left eye. Wow...Comment

My university leased all of it's PCs, so it always had the latest stuff on that front. However, the backbone of the university ran COBOL on a mainframe.
So I do know what I am talking about. Only you and those who continue with this "IE6 is the best browser to use" campaign think that it is funny to keep it going. Two words Grow up.[/QUOTE]
IE6 sucks, but I have no choice but to use it at work. Certain enterprise apps do not work well with newer browsers.Comment

thats because of people refusing to code for new browsers to keep up with the times

I had 10,000 visitors last moth that were using IE 6.0, I'm not willing to loose any of them because the developers of 4.0 are lost. I will stick with 3.8 or find new forum sofware that have developers that can code worth a damn. I was all ready to upgrade to 4.0 but held off for the gold releae to see if many of the issues were resolved that were in the RC.. Boy am I glad I did not jump in that mess.. 4.0 is the worst out there now as coding goes, you all have fun with IB because I'm going to ride this great 3.8 series out to the end.. It really says a lot about the past developers, we will miss them that's for sure. vB is no longer the leader in Forum SW..
Geek,
I'm a fan of your work and value your opinions on the current development of 4.0

i never claimed anyone should update THAT often maybe a version behind the current one.
i can see waiting up to two years after a new browser (ANY BROWUSER YOU USE) comes out to make sure all the kinks are worked out and any vulnerability of said browser(s) be fixed
i understand corperations not upgrading as often because of budget issues, however unless you get paid to visit forums at work or you have the blessing to use work machines on your breaks you should be doing this stuff from home.
when you run a windows install and you take the updates you are asked to upgrade to IE7 then 8.
myself i refuse to use IE FF or opra i use slimbrowser wich uses the IE engine and has less bugs and bloat than IE
i do code for IE and FF for the gallery pages i got but not the vB stuff.Comment
