I am surprised at the number of users using IE let alone IE6.

After Firefox I have never gone back to IE.

Who wuld drink lager aftering drinking a pint of real ale ?

Some people are easily pleased.

I'm now trying Firefox 3.5.3 and, although my window is more than half the size of the 17inch screen, I'm currently typing this into a field the size of a postage stamp.

The rest of the window is taken up by adverts and emoticons box, neither of which I can mask out of sight.

Very few, but what has that got to do with it. Most come from corporate sites and there will be IT contractors there and it has been noted, it's not up to individuals what browser they use.

If a few more of you had pitched in with the testing, these problems would have been discovered. Its very unfair to lay into NF after all the hard work he's put in.

Nick - if you want a hand with fixing/testing please let me know.

Oh well slight glitch. I would never have picked it up from home as I have all the latest kit. I assume most people are the same, nobody is going to test it from work.

I have emailed clientco to let them know I am unable to work at my usual 30% productivity level unless they upgrade the entire company.

Rein it in arse boy, it has plenty to do with it!

You didn't in your original post mention whether it would be a site that would have attracted interest from a similar demographic and thus could be comparable.

Hth.

Most IE6 users are in the public sector or govt. departments.
