I believe this is the right place to post...
It doesn't seem to work very well on PA, I just installed it a couple of days ago... any thoughts, any help ? |

I use Beta 3 and yes it doesnt work well with the forum formatting.
Biggest annoyances: 1. Quoting picks up all the format codes. 2. Smileys are placed at the very end of the text 3. WYSIWYG does not work either. Good things: 1. The forum loads far far faster than Firefox. 2.The tabbed browsing is excellent (although stolen from Firefox) I will move this to Help Us Improve The Site,so that Max might see it... |

well of course I have a fast connection but I found with Firefox that if I hit "end" on my keyboard I would only get halfway down the page,I have no such problems with IE7...

It might simply be solved by updating the forum software ... wysiwyg works fine in IE7, it's just that the forum software doesn't recognize the browser.  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Or you could just use Firefox as it's a far better browser!

The wysiwyg editor in IE is much more comfortable as that of Firefox. I AM currently using Firefox, but I wish they could improve it! ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

That's server-side; nothing to do with your browser. |

I would mention that a beta version of anything is likely to have problems.

No it isnt.Have you used IE7 Gecko IE7 is better IMO although in terms of the usual security problems associated with Microsoft product no doubt Firefox is safer. |

| To me, with Internet Explorer 6, I have the problem that are errors in the page so sometimes I can't post replies. |

No, but previous IE versions annoy me. I also prefer the personal features of Firefox, like tabs and skins. I'm not sure if IE7 incorporates these features or not. I may have to download IE7 anyhow, as I still need IE for my Micro$oft updates. My mother's IE has completely stopped working on her too, she has to use Firefox now. -------------

Well IE7 doesnt work well with the forum but yes it has tabbed browsing. As for skins-I wouldnt know as it nor something I am interested in. Probably.... |

Ah, something else they have stolen from Mozilla then... typical! Security issues are always an issue with IE. I get far less spyware than I used to (I do still get some though). I just dislike the normal style and colours of browsers, hence the need for an alternate skin. I shall stick with Firefox. -------------

You mean something that Mozilla stole from Opera?

But who used Opera? I don't know anyone!
