JujuFish Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just noticed something. When you click on the number of replies, to see who's posted in the thread and how many times, the number of posts appears to be colored the same as the background. At first I thought it simply wasn't showing the posts at all until I highlighted it, and saw that the text was actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Looks a ton better using Firefox 3.5 than IE 6! Now I just have to remember to use FF. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's called the office. Then IT needs a kick to the head. There is no reason what so ever to be running 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 My foot can't reach to India. find a legitimate site or two that doesn't work with IE 6.0 and complain to the boss. IE 6.0 is down to 18% market share on TBD. It blows my mind that it is still used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 So here's my deal. I've upgraded all my own PCs/laptops to IE8 over the weekend. I still have my favorite work laptop that runs IE6. If my IT department gets their mits on it, they're gonna patch the crap out of it. I live with some old SW to keep some performance features, SW apps and lockouts from happening. The price I pay. IE 6 is working just fine with the new skin by the way. The only thing I don't have is the links window. It's f'upped in IE6. I can live with it. By the way, as an emoticon abuser, I appreciate the window opening on the right with a click and add feature. Much better than old skin. Anyway SDS, thanks for all you do..

rbochan Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 There's a sick vulnerability in IE6 right now. Machines are being owned left and right because of it. Use IE6 for work apps only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah, much better on the laptop at home. I'd upgrade the computer at work, but I don't want to mess with anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 what does it do when it doesn't work? I'm not sure how it could only partially work. It brings me to the first or second post in the thread. Same was happening to me on TBD yesterday, if that helps; maybe it's my browser/OS (again, Safari and Mac).

wonderbread Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have no idea what any of that even means. :unsure: Well the pages (1,2,3,4...etc) in the thread are no longer listed on the top of the page as a result I can't go from page to page. The only way to move around a thread is by clicking on that thread page on the forum page. If there is only a few pages listed example the GDT has 1,2,3 and 10. I can only view those four pages. There is no way to look at 4-9. Not very good at 'splainin! sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to before the most recent skin change. care for a screen print? I can make the old skin available, but it will not be updated and there will be no updates to this skin to make it fully compatible with an 8 year old browser. IE6 was the worst browser ever released. You guys don't know the BILLIONS of $$$ and the MILLIONS of man-hours that have been wasted coding pages so that they view correctly in that POS browser. I get so freakin' angry every time I think about it. Everyone needs to pressure their IT departments to allow a more modern browser to be installed on their systems.
