omg .. IE8
 

Just installed IE8 and everything is fucked. Especially the controlpanels. Wordpress, phpBB.. :Oh crap

damn not good

There is a "compability view" button. It fixes it temporarily, but the scripts needs to be updated too. Thats for sure.

its garbage

I love how on Vista they made IE 8 an "Important", basically mandatory update. Took me 5 minutes to figure out how to turn it off and make it stay off of my taskbar as "update needed" or whatever.

Ie6 is still best.Also if you cant use ff and cant stand slow ie7/ie8 there are plenty browsers based on ie like maxton,green browser,avant browser,etc...

Who uses IE anymore? lol

If you're not running IE it might come as a surprise to discover how your layouts look to, what, 75% of surfers.

I check my designs in IE but that is it.

not too bad...

As much as Firefox irritates me at times, I would agree with you, IE is useful for checking layouts but that's about it. I really hate how they messed around with the interface.

Maybe, if more and more sites look crappy in IE more people would switch to FF? :)

I use google chrome 95% of the time anymore unless there is an application that won't work with it for some reason. :2 cents:

I haven't used IE in over a year.

Proper code needs no checking in IE :D

Ok I lied, the design I'm working on now had 1 error, it an h1 tag need height regulated in IE but other then that, golden!

Turn the Compatibility View On

:eek7 :eek7

Even if IE adhered to standards, that still wouldn't be true. :2 cents:

Yeah I know, I was fucking with him. I don't do proper coding, I do right coding. I get errors up the ass on my css/html via W3 but because of IE's retardation I don't care because it looks fine in all major browsers in all major operating systems. :thumbsup

Yes, I mostly use FF when surfing. But since most surfers are using IE, I have to check it with IE too. My own site, trades and so on... Also because I am moderator.

Yes, thats not a problem. But I can only do it for myself. Not surfers :)

im using the old IE for screenshots

PeteKT :upsidedow

Firefox rocks

That's what happens when you insist using IE!!

70% of the market, douchebag.

Only FF mate!
love your mustache! :)

Opera rules!

who cares... FF rules :thumbsup

according to Google 78% of all my surfers, with firefox coming in next at 11%

That's what MS is doing in IE 8 now everyone is bitching about that. Make up your fucking mind or is it y'all like to bitch about IE no matter what? Seriously bitch about it not following stands then it follow standards and you bitch about that. MS didn't want to put the compatibility mode in IE8 so peole would get off their asses and fix the code on thier sites. Pople bitched so they put it in there. So that'll be that much longer before website are coded right. So if website isn't coming in right with IE it's not the IE's fault it's the sites fault and the retarded webmaster who can fucking code even basic HTML.

yeah Macheads say the same shit "what everyone isn't using a Mac"? It's like they're actually fucking shocked not everyone has decided to join their cult and drink the kool-aid.

Microsoft has totally lost the ball

I tried it in beta awhile back. Didn't really have much problems.

Quoted for da True Dog.

It's nice to see IE's market share is being eroded, it used to be well over 80% last year, now it's less than 60:

Browsers Grabber Hits Percent
MS Internet Explorer No 41781081 58.9 %
Firefox No 16965171 23.9 %
Safari No 8599543 12.1 %
Opera No 1375627 1.9 %
Unknown ? 599164 0.8 %
Mozilla No 596198 0.8 %

IE8 seems to really enjoy fucking up CSS's.

thanks for the heads up

Oh shit... thanks for taking the risk for all of us. You just saved a lot of people major grief.

and you are surprised why?

Im sure sticking to FF!

Those stats are BS. No way Safari is really that high and Chrome is nowhere to be seen even though is nearly triple Opera or higher. Oh and IE is not anywhere close to being under 60%

If you design your pages properly, it really shouldn't matter.

IE8 works fine for me though I use FF more website building and downloads. :2 cents:

Those are figures for an "artistic" kind of site, lots of the users are the Mac brigade. I lifted the stats directly off my server.

And then they are still bullshit since they do represent REAL world statistics. That would be like me walking into a bar in Boston and asking how many people are Red Sox fans and then using that to infer that 99% of the population as a whole must be Red Sox fans.

I just knew you'd come back with something.

It depends on your market of course, but that site of mine is pretty general.

Look at the stats - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_s..._web_browsers:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._share.svg.png

The usage share of web browsers.
Source: Net Applications[1]
Internet Explorer (66.82%)

Mozilla Firefox (22.05%)

Safari (8.23%)

Google Chrome (1.23%)

Opera (0.70%)

Other (0.97%)

From W3 as well for comparison: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Post stats from your most popular site then GatorB and let's see.

What?! 99% of the population as a whole ISN'T Red Sox fans?!? BLASPHEMY! :mad:

The W3 schools surfers are more likely to be geeks though using alternative browsers.

Wiki should be a pretty good representation of the REAL world.

Mine percentages for the last 30days

Internet Explorer 72.63%

Firefox 17.10%

Safari 4.41%

Opera 2.71%



Of those using IE
7.0 52.33%
6.0 41.96%
8.0 5.29%

Installed Firefox, never ever used IE again...
