	IE6 poly problems Full PM-box? Change here!

I've been having some serious problems with accessing poly after up-dating to the most recent IE6 version. I posted this in OT but I think it will be a community problem unless MS fixes it soon.

PS in the middle of posting this it told me I was unregistered!

Where's the Opera guy when you need him?!?

I prefer IE5.0, myself.

Get Opera (ad-supported, but no restrictions to use) or Mozilla (free browser, with a good email client). Both are infinitely superior to IE and have lots of interesting features that will make you curse the days you used to surf using IE.

Opera: http://www.opera.com

Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org

Opera also has the added benefit of strange graphics glitches. At least the linux version does. I'm going to try Mozilla.

I was happy with 5.5 SP2 but when I tried installing after formating my c drive it wouldnt find the program. I think it has something to do with MS no longer supporting win98. The stupid thing is that you can can get 5.5 if you have ME (ie win98se with a few downloadable additions).

I looked at opera but the idea of banner ads puts me off (poly is bad enough. ) and I'll be damned if I'll pay for a browser.

Are you saying that even with the banner ads opera is that good?

The best part about Opera is that the animated smilies usually don't move. Neither do the animated avatars.

There is a way to get "rid" of the banners... Though I won't tell anything in public.

Yes they do. I have Opera, and I see my avatar almost all the time. If you use 7.11 it's fine.

Opera, Mozilla, yada yada.

IE 6.0 works fine on both my work and home computers. When I updated from 5 (or whatever version it was) it royally screwed up though. A complete uninstall and reinstall of the altest version and everything worked fine. When in doubt, don't look elsewhere, reinstall first.

Then it's a local problem and nothing to do with Opera.

No, it is Opera because if I leave it alone for several minutes the smilies and avatars become animated but if I hit page up/down they stop. Idiot Opera programmers don't know how to program for linux.

blah, it's not that IE doesn't work (well *hem* i guess it is) but moreso that opera/mozilla have so many more features, and on top of it, opera actually looks nice

If you don't want ads, go with a Gecko powered browser.

Mozilla - http://www.mozilla.org/
Mozilla Firebird - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/
Netscape - http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/

You can't get the ads removed in Opera for free using any legal method. Only by cracking it (i.e. piracy) or buying the better pro version. So therefore I suggest going with Free Software like Mozilla.

Use Opera. Failing that just don't use IE.

If you don't like ads, then use Mozilla. IE has so many security holes that it seems like a colander.

Well, I think an impartial conclusion is that...

Use anything else than Microsoft Internet Explorer.

No need for a browser war between alternative browsers.

Panag do you read the posts ever before you comment. I have the latest version and the ****ing patches and I've formatted my HD and reinstalled my whole OS as well as IE6. It's the latest version that seems to have the problem (although I'm still not ruling out some weird hardware glitch). Versions prior to the Sun Java settlement that include MS VM work fine but you cant download them anymore.

you know, if you're going for a good bare-bones browser, try lynx.

As Ari has said, Lynx works with ACS Forums, but the file attachment field causes it problems.
