Display problems with new forum format...

[Canon-Fodder!]

I run W/XP SP3 & IE6...

Yes I know I'm out of date, but I have so much stuff on my PC, and I am firmly of the school of 'if it aint broke - don't fix it' I upgrade ONLY when forced to do so, or when I absolutely need to do so...

Anyhow; a couple of things that are broke for me;
- date & time are no longer displayed on forum posts; so I can't see when a thread has been started or added to
- thread headers no longer show whether or not i have posted within the thread! Sporadically, if I review a thread that I have posted on, and the back-off a little green arrow will display, but it's gone the next time I logon to the forum..
- I can no longer embed URLs in a message because I can't find the weblink icon to add an embedded URL...
- The smileys display as pixellated blocks
- There doesn't seem to be any 'formatting' options available any longer on creation of messages

I'll add to the post if I think of anything else...

This may be your cue to upgrade. Internet Explorer 6 gave website designers a major headache for many reasons and the latest version of our forum software is no exception. An upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 will solve most if not all of these issues.

Hello Andrew;

Respectfully, it's not my practice to upgrade to suit you!

What I have worked perfectly well - until you upgraded, since when it's been one problem after another!

I don't have these problems on any other forum!

Well, it's up to you, but the makers of our forum software don't support Internet Explorer 6 any more - therefore, the solution is to ugrade to Internet Explorer 8.

Better still go to Firefox so that you can keep IE6

I’m receiving the forum loud 'n' clear on IE7
