Hey guys, I'm going to look at the login issues in IE 7 and 8. IE6 might be fixed as a side effect, but I don't have plans for us to go out of our way to support 6..

I recall there's some obscure bug with all IE browsers and cookies which prevents to apply a second cookie in a subdomain if you already did with the top domain

Well there are a few javascript oddities we discovered that are preventing forms from posting. I'll make sure you guys know when things are fixed.

Thank you.

Ok so logging in and posting should be more or less fixed now. There are still a few quirks related to the showing of mixed secure content. We'll be stabbing at least some solutions in the meantime for that.

Thanks again.

Still use IE6 here, except in special cases. We have issues with legacy apps in newer browsers sadly ><. I'm dreading the inevitable upgrade.

IE8 has been nothing but trouble though. A few people ended up with it somehow and they have nothing but problems, particularly with SSL.

ugh, that sucks flare. I know the new themes are not really all that nice in ie6.

Yeah, the main site is... well, it looks like someone barfed HTML elements onto a canvas, LOL. The forums aren't terrible. I put Firefox on this machine, but I'm only here about half the time. And everyone else, well, back to work! :P

Because their IT departments don't write web sites, or if they do they write them only for IE because they don't realize there are standards out there (and that IE *isn't* the standard).

I'd say mostly out of habit because IE comes pre-installed with Windows (though it is my understanding that this trend is ending with Windows 7), so there is really no point for someone in the IT to bother installing something else, unless it's going to be used for a specific purpose. "Power Users" will always install whatever works for them anyway :p

Only in the EU, it's still pre-installed for every other version of Windows 7.

Yes, that's why microsoft killed any way to upgrade on EU installations.. Thank you EU for making me pay a full license when i could pay a cheap upgrade!

For a limited time they were selling the E versions which are a full retail install for upgrade prices.

I wonder why all companys i know use IE instead of my lovly Firefox...

Mainly because we don't want to have to support it. Unfortunately, the majority of users still use IE at home if anything, and therefore are more familiar with it. We don't exactly have many people whose job it is to surf the web, so honestly standard compliance isn't particularly important so long as they can access the sites they need for work.
