well when I say try, I mean LOOK AT
its not very good is it.Maybe I should give it a bit time eh?
sorry everyone, hope I havent upset any one by doing this
Go for 8, Baz, and really live dangerously. ;D
do you not think I had enough of a shock with 7
all this came about cos I saw that I had some 'important updates' as MS call them, hidden in my update list
why oh why would I do that now :laugh: :laugh:
No, Baz. go for the full hair frizz treatment. ;)
If you've gone for 7, you might as well go for 8! ;D
who has 8 then....and uses it?
come on own up
is it better than 7
Den. :)

WOW and I thought I was crazy :laugh: :laugh:
You might think that, Baz, I couldn't possibly comment. ;D
I have 8 and use it all the time, I'm not mad, honestly :wave: :)x :stars: :happy: :lala: :out:
Eight what? :whistle:
After.
:basil: :basil:
:ack: I think I'd prefer to continue to use IE8 than eat one of those things ;D
You're right, I couldn't eat one, Zap. One box, maybe. ;)
mmmmmmm chocolate :)
I have a large tub of two-bite brownies I need help with, Baz. :)
Eight is Great! I recently changed from FireFox to IE8, have to say that it is very user friendly and runs very nicely and, to me, slicker than FF. Admittedly I am not into deep stuff and am just an ordinary punter, emails, gentle web surfing, the odd 'You Tube' etc.
IE8 is working extremely well for me as we type :thumb:
I just loaded 8, only because of the microsoft update nag, seems ok, so far :fingers:

No one. We all use Firefox. :P
Seriously, IE is terrible.
As Rik said I use IE8 and prefer it to Firefox. There are times when I switch across to Firefox because of all the suport on here for it, but I always switch back as IE8 runs that much better. I am not mad but I like Vista as well even though I will most likely change to Windows 7 when it comes out. ;D
I've been using IE8 for some time now and am very happy with it, It does what I want and more. I've tried other browsers including Opera, Safari and Firefox but still prefer IE8.

Clearly you are not a fan of 8 but there does appear to be quite a lot of support for it, on this thread at least, it can't be that terrible :dunno:

It definitely is :ack:

How ? in what way? please be specific
I suspect that it is classed as terrible by the same people that always think that MS and anything put out by them is terrible ::) They are all using windows 95 and can not see any reason to upgrade to 98 >:D

I'm only joking around. It's an okay browser, but I'll do what I can to promote something that complies with web standards where possible - I'd love to see the demise of IE.

Mainly because it's slow to render in comparison to other browsers and doesn't comply with web standards to any sort of degree.

I think the people that class it as terrible are using Firefox. ;D
I'd agreed, Seb. I was slow to move to Firefox, but once I did, there was no going back.

- Well, for a start it doesn't have an FTP client (FireFTP) that you can integrate into the browser
- Also, in IE8 there is no volume control in the Status bar (unless I've got a hybrid copy)
- You can't type into the address bar and have the browser automatically find the site you want - works for me virtually every time in Firefox
:whistle:
For me, they are just some of the bonuses of a browser like Firefox, but not the main reason for using it.

What is your main reason? The faster rendering?
IE is a SPAM magnet and is the best reason of all for not using it...unless you like SPAM that is. ::)
There are other reasons for using FF:
The added functionality from FF Add-ons. Try Xmarks for example, but there are hundreds.
FF is available across ALL platforms, so you don't have to abandon your browser.
Or are a Monty Python fan... :whistle:

Mainly, and the fact that I know it's a compliant browser. The add-ons are great as well.
I find 8 friendly, speedy and a joy to behold having used it continually since last night!!
Apparently there's lots of gizmos/gimmicks on board and I shall studiously ignore them all.
OK, truth will out, I d/l it along with updates and a bottle of Bells last night so will leave it on pro tem and will have a moan about it if any probs manifest themselves.
Me too, no real prob's with 8, YET :fingers:
