XenForo in IE6

[Caliburn]

Does anybody even actively code for IE6 compliance anymore? I thought developers were revolting against it by not even supporting it anymore.

Thanks for feedback everyone.
Now I'm only wondering if Kier and Mike have considered IE6 while building XF, or it's just all happened by incident?

IE6 never works by accident.

Fixed that for you

You have done a great job regarding that. Never thought it will be that good in IE6.
Now I think there are many admins who will be glad to use XF without worrying about IE6.

LOL
But come on, they made it work. And it works pretty good.
Their work is really appreciated by all means.

The mention of IE should be slapped

Wash you mouth out with soap...

It's excellent. They finally made some much needed improvements to the Javascript Engine.

The overall look and feel is nice too... shame it doesn't really work all that well with WindowsBlinds.

are you using this nightly? ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2010-08-08-04-mozilla-central/

the minimalistic approach helps in developing a style that is cross browser/version compatible
problems will arise when one adds their own customization, addons, etc

here's something to think about...
IE users are more likely to click on ads; if 10% of your users are on IE6 you can sure bet that you are losing 10% of your ad revenue

No, just the download from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/

I think we're cursed to have IE6 forever and ever. It just seems it still can't die. Maybe once Windows 10 is out.

If it sparkles we can kill it

Not many places are supporting IE6 in any shape or form, that version is pretty much dead. Have had a few complaints that my site doesn't work in IE6, seems to be an issue with multiple float areas on pages, answer to those complaints is upgrade to a later version of IE or use an alternative browser like FF or Chrome.

Yeah, Just imagine that. (By accident ).
