Hello !

I have a problem with IE6. I have to use this browser.
My problem is that I cannot vote on IE6. It works fine with firefox and chrome.
Can I solve this problem ? Or not ?

Thank for the help.

Not unless you are still on windows 98

Upgrade your browser. Developers are tired of wasting their precious time making their sites work for that crappy browser.

I don't think anyone is going to focus any attention on backwards compatibility for such an old browser. I know I quit supporting IE6 about 3 years ago. Sorry, but it's time to upgrade, seriously.

I understand that there are circumstances that require the use of IE6 - In my company we have a few legacy apps that require its usage as well. However, folks are slowly abandoning support and compatibility coding for it nowadays. That version was released in Aug of 2001. Asking folks to continue to support an almost 12 year old browser is just not feasible. Microsoft did a great disservice at the time with IE6 and all of its 'special' featuresets unique to that browser. They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair.

I for one will be happy when folks take a stand and no longer support it, across the web. The world will be a better place. Unicorns will flourish, world peace will prevail, Mr. Gorbachev will tear down that wall, we'll all drink Coca Cola and sing in perfect harmony! We'll all buy bags of balloons with the money we've got, and one by one we'll set them free. We'll all eat our meat and be able to have pudding! You can't have pudding unless you eat your meat!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror! I'm asking him to change his ways!
