    Thumbs up Stop ie6!

    Trying to find slution for my problems with IE6 I found this site.

    http://www.stopie6.org/

    IE 6 won't be used anymore if web developers stop supporting it.


    Finally somebody started it!!!

    Re: Stop ie6!

    I already don't support IE6 for things that I make. Although supporting IE 7 is a good idea. Some of my schools computers still actually use IE6 instead of IE7, they are so ancient. :/

    Re: Stop ie6!

    My mother has to use IE6 because of some program/site that she uses for work. It doesn't support IE7 ... I'm sure there are others like it out there. -_- People need to get with the times, really.....
    Kindly give me reputation if I helped you. :happysad:

    Re: Stop ie6!

    Completely support it! And I speak as a developer because I don't use IE6, so I really don't care what everyone experiences, but it really is a pain to have to special code for IE6, specially when you only have Vista or Windows 7.

    I think MS should figure out some forced update, just like in Windows Live Messenger, adding a function to change the version like in IE 8 BETA (the "Emulate IE 7" option).

    Re: Stop ie6!

    IE6 is the worst thing known to man, me too, speaking as a developer never code with IE at all, I codse with FF because if you code something on IE (watchin IE make little edits) Something will go wrong for certain with other browsers, TBH IE all together is crap, as ive said before (I,E = Intermmitent Exploder) xD

    To be honest Stop IE would be a good target if MS continue refusing to make it more compliant. But this is a good start anyway.

    Re: Stop ie6!

    Aside from being ancient for web developers, it is also a security risk too.
    I agree with Ale, they should put out a forced upgrade.

    Your poll is confusing, is it asking if we support IE6 or support stopping IE6?
    I voted no because I thought it was for supporting IE6 as a web developer.

    Re: Stop ie6!

    I stopped supporting IE6 a long time ago for my own work, but I can assure everyone here that a forced upgrade is not going to happen any time soon. Why not? The cost of upgrading corporate intranet applications, plain and simple, and it's those behind-the-firewall applications where the revenue (and the liabilities) for a company like Microsoft lies. And for those of you who think supporting IE6 is a pain, you might want to think about having to support Netscape Navigator 4.x as late as five years ago...
