if you use IE 6, unknown files may no longer function correctly soon, i dont do backwards compatability.

upgrade to opera or firefox.

edit : or IE 7.

kthxbai

edit 2 : the site will still work on IE6, just look abit crap.....

great step!

I predict need for a new download site soon...

.. not a good move cuppy. Most users run IE... expect mass whining.

Corrected.

Myself included. All the whizbang of IE7 irritates me, and while I have firefox, it isn't my default browser for a variety of reasons.

Whiiiiiiine.

Running IE6 is a terrible idea, and I'd rather UF displayed everything upside down and back to front save for a set of links to IE7/FF/Opera.


That and those who arent forced to use IE6 have no excuse anyway as IE7 was rolled out as a critical patch via windows update months ago.

And arrogant jerks get condescending to those who do use it. Seriously.. dude.. get over the zomygosh I has firefox/opera elitism.

I use IE, I don't care how high he feels he is over me.
Hehe

[09:36:33 PM] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> ive writen some ajax
[09:36:36 PM] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> to tab the download page
[09:36:47 PM] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> so like i need tabs to go accross the top of the file description

Suffice to say this doesnt meant dropping IE6, this means a slew of other clients would end up loosing support. I put forward that these tabs are unnecesary redundant bloat, and bad web design.

[21:44:38] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> no
[21:44:40] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> ajax is better
[21:44:44] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> and
[21:44:59] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> ive got a theme that has so many png transparent images
[21:44:59] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> its unreal
[21:45:00] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> and
[21:45:02] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> that means
[21:45:03] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> LOTS OF BLUE
[21:45:06] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> in ie6
[21:45:15] <[LCC]IaMaCuP> so basically if you can live with that then fine :p


it WILL work

it will just look VERY gay

the reason its unsupported is the PNG none transparent stupidity of ie 6

IM NOT DROPPING IE SUPPORT

just ie 6 or less.

i again stress it will still work.

no

my web server sais

41 percent use Firefox 1.5.0 or greater

14 percent use Opera

17 percent use an IE version of less than 7

3 percent use unknown

the rest use IE 7.

these are the stats my webserver recorded

so really.... thoes 17 percent should upgrade

IE6 and below is fail anyway.

I perfer firefox as it is made of pwn, win, and butter. But at work I have to use IE7 and It's not that bad. Hell it's a major milestone after IE6

Smoth, ranting because your too sensitive to listen to someone opinion, who say they beleive most n00bs use IE, really makes you no better than me. You use firefox, I suppose that explains it, an extreme case of Elitism? I thought I was an asshole and could get worked up over nothing... It seems I have been de-throned.

Not only taking in consideration what Imacup has stated as far as browser usage, here are the numbers off the wolfgame servers.

112,000 - Mozilla-compatible (Firefox)
61,000 - MSIE (ALL VERSIONS)
15,837 - Opera
4,145 - Netscape
7875 - Others (Lynx, Konqueror, etc)

139,857 hits
43% of which are from IE.

Now, also taking into consideration that computers running IE have come with IE, and only IE, as the browser for at least the past 10 years, I find it hard to beleive that most people new to using computers will be immediantly removing IE in favor of Firefox, Mozilla, or opera.

In order for a Newbie to have anything other than IE:
A) They are using a Machintosh
B)They have used a computer long enough to figure out what mozilla is, and why they might want it.

Smoth, if you feel the need to futher rant about why "I beleive most noobs use IE" is wrong, go for it. I just hope you have some other reason, aside from assumptions.

your browser usage is almost the same as mine, what a coincidence (in respect to how many use IE)

Well, I ain't a noob, and I use IE7...

I wonder why... Cuz I don't care to change.. Everything I have seen is not groundbreaking or excellent, or would make my life any better, at all..

i myself like IE7, and it works fine. no problems there

also its phishing warning thing is wicked :)

Depends if they have genuine windows actually

You miss the point, you are not to judge them one way or another. it is just a preference and it is not right to criticize someone like that. You have no justification to be condescending about someone because they use a browser that others do not, it is just rude.

TASClient will not run on windows 95

UF V4 will not run on IE 6

allthough it will work, just look shit

theme 2 (the one noone uses) will work fine.
