| 503070 | 2006-11-29 20:57:00 | oops. I think is was a cached page on my proxy re: IE7 Cleared the cache and it worked. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 503071 | 2006-11-29 23:30:00 | That's actually pretty unacceptable for any major site these days, noting the market share that Firefox is getting. IETab is NOT firefox - it's just the IE rendering engine called from within Firefox. This has the obvious downside of not working in Linux. Plus it makes about 20% (guessing here) of their potential customers jump through hoops just to see the site. Not a good look - they'd be much better off simply writing a site that was FF compatible. |

| 503072 | 2006-11-29 23:37:00 | Yeah it does, you just have to use that IE extension. it does NOT work with Mozilla. Probably not with Opera either. I boycott any site that forces IE on me. |

| 503075 | 2006-11-30 03:38:00 | What a dog! I went there using f/fox and it said bla bla... "you can use f/fox, click here for details" Of course I had to reload page in IE tab so that I could get to the page that tells you to install IEtab. Duh. Haven't laughed so much in days. God, I hope someone gets sacked from the web design/marketing company that did that one. |

| 503077 | 2006-11-30 04:47:00 | Grrrr. It crashes IE halfway through the page load. Reliably. (IE 6.0 / Debian Etch) |
