Stop using Internet Explorer ??

[Astana]

Hi Guys, thanks for the heads-up regarding the IE8 issue. I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday evening the front page is now fixed. After doing a little digging around I noticed there was a bug with the flv player script. Most browsers have the ability to ignore minor errors and make adjustments to display the page correctly, therefore users using Firefox, Chrome, Opera etc would not have noticed any problems. However IE8 is hyper sensitive and will normally freeze when there is a slight error in the code.

The code is now fixed and everything seems to be working OK. Does anyone know how long there has been a problem? I don't use IE so I was not aware of any problems until I picked this thread up yesterday.

I first noticed the problem Wednesday 0500 GMT, I was back to normal Thursday 1300 GMT.

small notice came up on the front page clicked it and the page collapsed but got onto the site via favourites history.

You really should not be using IE6 unless it is for an over whelming technical reason.

13% of the last 500 visitors to udonmap are using IE6 Looking at the stats for the past 500 visitors 56% are using IE browsers, 37% Firefox, 5 % Safari and 2% others. Last year it looked like Firefox was gaining ground over IE, now it looks like the other way around. However going by global stats looks like IE is loosing popularity. http://gs.statcounter.com/

Thanks to the EU there now is the browser choice website. Should make it easy for everybody to switch browser.

They REALLY should be looking for something else, especially now..

The desired demise of IE6 came a step closer when just a few weeks ago Google announced that from 1 March, it will end support for the browser.

The world's most powerful internet company said that from next Monday some of its services, such as Google Docs, would not work "properly" with the browser.

YouTube has pencilled in 13 March for when it will drop IE6.
