Ever consider using a browser that conforms with the de facto web standards?

Yeah, just bend over and take it like a man!

I have no problems posting with Mozilla, other than the lameness of the comments themselves!

Mischief: Mozilla is standards compliant. IE is not. And last time I looked, it was not available for Linux or Solaris. (Not that I would use it if it was.)

i think that's why they said "de facto".
no problems here, either with 1.0 - try deleting all cookies

microdick somehow fucked with my browser without my going there and without any autoupdate enabled. the other day it began asking me those inane questions it asks only when its new, you know, "you are about to send in info to an insecure blabla, would you like to woofwoof?" and last night i discovered that Tools | Internet Options | Security | Custom no longer works. i MUST choose a default security level, where all the individual options (i.e. "Allow paste operations from script") are prechosen. attempts to customize any of these items is futile. the radio buttons still appear - they simply refuse to respond to any clicking. i'm suitably pissed.

quonsar, that deeply sucks. What version are using? 6.something? I stuck with 5.5 because of reports that 6.0 broke stuff.

slithy tove, i am using 6.0, i'm away from home at the moment so i cant post the exact version now. this whole wintel thing is headed into shitland - the digital rights management OS is right around the corner, soon a computer will only do what the moguls want it to do. the promise of the internet is being stolen quite successfully. damn, i miss optimism.

All this is precisely why I chucked my PC's and got an iBook. OSX rules, MSFT drools.

Incidentally (or, you know, on topic), having no problems with Mozilla, aside from being blinded by its utter coolness.

now if they could only get mozilla to work with the MeFi formatting and link building functions...

And if only rays of beaming light weren't so fscking expensive
