If you are using IE 5.0, you better upgrade

[eSDee]

Most of you probably know this already, but IE 5.0 has a big security hole in it. A lady in another department was running it, which allowed a backdoor Trojan to run on her computer. Basically it was a password collector. They think it was running for about 6 months, so who knows what they have access to. Damn you MicroShaft! :mad:

Here's Netscape 6.2.2 (http://download.com.com/3000-2354-9602164.html?tag=lst-0-5) instead.

Whoa, DF, you've got a lot of fragmentation on your E:\ drive - you'd better look into that....

i've been using mozilla...no problems here

as for netscape sucking...yes, it's a memory hog, but it's one of the few true browsers left. ask any web developer...netscape/mozilla are what you develop for, msft IE allows for shoddy coding.

I didn't put the URL tags in there... When posting a reply the option to Automatically parse URLs: automatically adds {url} and {/url} around internet addresses can be unchecked.

Uh, no, you develop for the user base, not the convenience of the developer. You want your product to reach as broad an audience as possible, so with nearly 85% of users on IE, I would think it would be a logical choice to make the app as friendly as possible for the largest number of people...
