Does anyone care anymore. If the new estrip was IE8, Firefox, Safari only and IE 6/7 users had to use the mobile site would anyone even care?

I'm not the one who runs the site, or does the work to maintain it. I think the site should support IE and the reason is that lots of people use it and don't even know about Safari or Firefox. This is often the case of people who use it at work. I don't use it at work. But maybe someone is about to go home and they want to see if anyone wants to meet at a movie or something and then they won't be able to use the site. But where I think the support is more important is for new members. Say I hear about the site and I come here and only have IE. To Join a site I'm not going to try and figure out why things don't work or that there is a mobile site I'll just give up and never come back, and that could be a factor.

IE7 Is a lot of people, is IE8 even out yet?

Doesn't affect me though :)

Sometimes you just say "Let the legacy bastards burn!"

IE 8 as is, is pretty awesome. It supports almost all of what you consider standard DOM/javascript. At least enough of everything to make it much easier.

zobar writes at 09:05:43 11/11/08 - Comment #41962

Please say that IE8 is actually an improvement over IE6. Every day I'm finding new reasons to be disappointed with IE7.

Just two days ago I found out that IE6 doesn't support <option disabled>, and that IE7 never bothered to address the issue - after spending hours writing code that relies on it.

Sometimes I seriously believe that the Internet Explorer team is hindering global progress. How many millions of billable man-hours have been wasted trying to make their crappy browser work?

you could use it at work janelle, you'd just use the mobile site. if you click on mobile now, you can see what it would look like.

<Gasp> Then I can't use it at work, I don't think. What will I do all day?

theecarey writes at 11:47:08 11/10/08 - Comment #41958

Whatever you want to do. I use Firefox and only rarely ever IE.

tinypliny writes at 11:46:25 11/10/08 - Comment #41957

Heh, I installed firefox even at work (without admin rights or authorization). The "official" IE-6 made my life a hell with no tabs and 40+ windows at times. It was a question of mental health.

nope, haven't used IE in years.

james writes at 11:34:46 11/10/08 - Comment #41954

I think the internet needs to stop catering to outdated IE versions. Bring the hammer down Paul!

10/16/08 01:02 - 60ºF - ID#46136Category: estripThe upload button and chatter

Adobe release Flash Player 10 today

It has a bunch of new security protections and a bunch of new features.

It also effected the way that the surebert flash player multi-file uploader worked. The new version

I reprogrammed the other night is flash player 10 compliant. Luckily, I jumped on that because I had no idea they were going to launch it today.

If you don't have at least flash player 9 if will put a link there instead of the upload button.

While I was in there I also updated the chatter so that you can use ampersands and pluses.
