Enkidu Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 OK I give up, I just give up call me whatever you want but every time I fix something in IE6 it messes up another in IE7. These bugs are mostly RTL related. hence my question: are we allowed to report IE6 bugs? if no, I would suggest to start a work group (a topic would be nice) where we,as customers, can discuss, share, and come up with hacks and solutions for Internet Buglorer :P cheers :D and happy new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 But why fix things for an obsolete browser that no one should be using anymore? 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DKiwi Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 They all should upgrade to IE8. Not as though it's going to cost them anything is it? Better still use Firefox 3.5. I would be concerned if people running current browsers had problems with your site. I've had people report issues with my site. In most cases suggesting that they update their browser version has resolved the problem. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is not always possible to upgrade. I've worked with this company that still use Window$ 2000 to say the least. :hairy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 The official stance with IE6 is that if the bug breaks functionality, we will fix it, but if it's just a small oddity, we will not. Reason being, as you seem to have noticed - it tends to cause problems in other, more frequently used browsers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 If it's something that'd affect all customers, you can post it to the bug tracker - we can assess whether it's a problem worth spending development time on or not. If you're making changes on your own site though, I'd recommend you put IE6 fixes in a conditional comment block so that IE6 is the only browser to see them - that way other browsers won't break :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Wers Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 obsolete? really? yesterday I got 75 visits by people using IE6, with bounce rate of almost 100%, no wonder why, my board looks like sh%$ under IE virgin sex. Really. IE6 is 9 years old browser. Who uses IE6 is obsolete as well. But have to say IE7 or IE8 is not any big win :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkidu Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 OK, here are the issues that I don't know how to solve :unsure: 1- the background css image inside the <h3> categories main title is NOT showing: 2- search bar: there are others but that's enough for now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enkidu Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Allright so I managed to find the reason for the 1st issue and it's because of this line:/* remove background images from annoying places */ .maintitle, #footer_utilities, #ipboard_body .ips_editor .toolbar, #admin_bar { _background-image: none !important; } annoying places? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
