How many IE6 Browsers ??

[BitBender]

How many of you run IE 6 ????

[whipat]

Once in awhile I will dnld Opera and mess with it. 99.9% of the time it's IE6. Pat

[AmStoned]

WinXP, looks like I'm stuck. Not a problem with IE6 here.

[Alakazam]

IE6 all the way, never did like Netcrap & too lazy to try Opera.

[BitBender]

WEll, folks, there's a reason I asked !! Keep up with the replies !!

[AmStoned]

oh c'mon Bits, stop being all mysterious. You're killing me with anticipation.

[Darcy]

IE6 over here, Bits.

[Techvillage]

IE5 at work - IE6 at home.

[KaraK]

IE 6 here, with little sprinklings of Opera

[muckshifter]

IE6 on all systems. :cool:

[BitBender]

Ok, it's starting to look overwhelming......

The weird page fault issues only affect IE6 users, it appears.

What happens is that I ENABLE the GZIP module within apache, and open up output buffering under PHP, and set a 4K page size.
That's when it gets 'funky' for all the IE6 users. I see no issues, but I'm IE 5.5 all around here (design flaw).

It's supposed to only be used with HTTP 1.1 compliant browsers, but it appears that IE6 gets pissed off with it.

I found this on one of my many travels thru the support forums in my quest for the "Holy Grail" of tuning .... Gzip'n seems to be the last area for improvement..

If anyone can, please find me some data on how IE6 handles Gzip'd pages..I'd appreciate it!

Bits :rasta:

IE6 on my computer at home...IE6 on daughter's computer (where I'm at right now)
What the heck is Gzip?...never heard of it before :beatsme:

[muckshifter]

"one should activate HTTP 1.1 through a proxy server in the settings of IE!"

All I could find. :confused:

[Lonnie]

sooo, I clicked on the last link, Mucks,...says bbf isn't gziped!
I STILL don't know what gzip is...guess it's some tech stuff???
*letting Bit worry about this stuff...over my head, like most computer stuff is...LOL*

[muckshifter]

LoL ... to put it loosly its just like winzip a form of compression, only its used on different platforms other than say ... Windows. err, I think. :D

When Bits "enables" it we, using IE6, have problems.

Nice bit of detective work by our CTO to catch this "bug". Hopefully he can solve it, without going :hhead:

[Lonnie]

You'd think we were 'honored' ...LOL...to be the ones causing these problems by having IE6 !:smirk: ...guess the programmers that made gzip didn't think that far ahead!*sounds kinda like that company in Washington State* ;)

Braveheart?
My favorite Braveheart:
dang...where'd it go?
nevermind...sigh

[Cool Canuck]

IE 6.0.2600 here as well Bits. Notice errors on lots of other peps web pages since the latest securtity patch. Something in the scripts that all of a sudden IE don't work with.

[AmStoned]

yeah. what's an error? :hapystone

[ImaginAsian]

IE6 at Home at IE 5.5 at work. You know I never got dead links at work but do on IE6 from time to time. Hope that help Meagi.

[Lonnie]

never had a dead link on my computer...but that isn't to say there aren't any 'dead links' at my house !:dev: :angel:

[ImaginAsian]

ah crap screw that...i just saw a dead smilie at work on IE 5.5....back to the drawing board!!!!

[Mad dog]

Well i much prefer to use Opera but for this board i use IE6 as Vbulitin doesn't seem to like Opera. Tha pages don't display quite right and most annoyingly of all. When uploading images from Opera they usually end up corrupted.
