Anyone using the new Internet Explorer 7????

[wrxmania]

Just using it now - some things seem ok but font is harder to read (blurrier) and it does not do smilies on here - ie []

Anyone else using it?

Brian the blurring is "cleartype". Turn it off and you'll get rid of that.

There is an issue with Community Server and IE7 which will be fixed on the next upgrade to CS, which should be soon.

Thanks st3ph3n.

Switched that off - a bit better but not as defined as IE6 was - quite happy with IE and don't see a need for any other - and this is what I use at work, suits Front Page etc.

Text is better now []

[st3ph3n]

It's not IE that's the problem Brian. It's CS being poorly written and not being standards compliant.

Cheers S - I'll just avoid smilies/smiley's for a while

[imprezapete]

omg someone else uses IE6 or 7...

I get slagged by a few people I know for using it, get the usual ear bashing from the firefoxers how IE is crap and MS wont conform to CS and other standards and how your a muppet for using it...

 

I quiet like IE6.. i update with all patches but I cant use IE7 cause of Windows XP issue if you catch my drift [:$]

[wrxmania]

I get the drift - I am OK lol.

I like IE - its' the best I have found for use, ease of browsing, linking formats with other Microsoft stuff etc.

It is also the standard package used by most places I have worked in.

Firefox 2 vs Exploer 7

The BBC. Ever the source of unbiased opinion. Bloody mac lovers.

Community Server is written on Microsoft Programming technologies - so why it's not compatible with a Microsoft Browser is baffling. It really only properly works with IE6 as Firefox has its limitations.

[STi_Bandit]

I use a mac at work and they are awful, hehehe

Bandit

[wrxmania]

I'll stick with IE - AND ON A P.C.

[STi_Bandit]

[bigdavie]

Been using IE all my computing life, recently changed to Firefox and wasn't impressed by it. I do like the tabbed browsing though, but in terms of running some content, it simply isn't as smooth as IE, particularly with embedded sound. Granted, FF is more secure; so they say, I have never had any sort of breach on my system caused by an IE bug. IE for me!

been running FF since it was released and wouldent go back to IE, was planning on trying vista out though is IE any better/diffrent with vista?

Horses for courses I always say, jus the folks I know who are into firefox act like your subhuman if you use IE. Always going to happen really since I work in IT.

Yeah, good points. When people frown upon me becasue I use IE and not FF or some other alternative, I ask them if they are that concerned about MS cr4p then why not switch entirely to a Linux platform? We all know its better in every sense, other than its user-unfriendliness.

Trying this on Firefox now - see how it goes []

[irish al]

I use firefox as well.

If you go to the plugins you can get one that allows you to open a page using IE in a drfferent tab. Its right click then "view this page in ie tab". Its only needed on some sites as firefox wont display it correclty. You will know what I mean when you see one.
