Not really, my dad just downloaded it so I have to use it. :hugesmile:

[Red Moon]

Happens I guess dad's do that sort of thing, just when your happy with what you have got.

BTW you still haven't add your vote to the poll.

[MarkWaldorf]

[Legend]

I.E. I don't know the number, i picked number 6 though because it's in the middle. :rolleyes: :spin:

[Ann]

I have that also, I just dont use it as much cause it's well slow on my comp sometimes.

[Sophii3x]

What's that? Like where you search for internet addresses? If so.. yea.

[Emilee]

I dont know what these are. :rolleyes:

[Red Moon]

Go to the help menu..... click the about box and it should tell you there what version it is.

[Sophii3x]

Ohh thanks Red. I have Internet Explorer 6! :hugesmile:

EDIT: Same as you.

[Sticks]

Firefox 2.0.0.3

It is not a virus / Tojan magnet like IE is.

They are computer programs you can use to look at the site.

Well done.

I order to moderate the board a tab browser (like I.E 7, Firefox or Opera) is a must for me. So I use Firefox 2.0 and I'm currently trying out Opera 9. I quite liking Opera 9 and the in-built spell checker which seems to make better guesses than Firefox and overal the browser seems faster than Firefox.

If you want to try Opera you can get it here: http://www.opera.com/

[Matt08]

I use IE7, mainly because of the tabs and I find it very easy to use.

[Ruth*Star]

Mozilla Firefox because i have pink menus and its quite easy to use.

[Legend]

I've just checked mine and mine is 6.

[Sunny_01]

I clicked AOL Browser but not really sure if that is true lol, I use AOL homepage to load up the net and am to much of a technophobe to do anything else with it. I manage just fine with what I have though

[Red Moon]

You should try Opera or Firefox Sunny it much easier to moderate the site and save you having to have lot of browsers open all the time.

[Emilee]

Oh im on Microsoft 6.. or whatever it is.

[Dan_]

Firefox 1.5, just found it more secure than IE.

Don't forget to vote in the poll Dan :thumbs:

[J.C.]

I use Firefox when I'm on the forum as it has a great spell check. And I use Opera when surfing.

[Red Moon]

Which versions J.C? And which ever you use most you need to add to the poll?

[J.C.]

Opera 8 and Firefox 1.5 (I think). Voted Firefox as it really helped and was recommended by a another member.

[Red Moon]

J.C you can spell check in Opera 9 as well. Just right click in the text input box. Not sure if that works in Opera 8. :thumbs:

[Z]

:laugh2: I love how www.ie7.com is a link to FireFox.


I use both FireFox and IE7, though probably FireFox more.

[Red Moon]

Don't for get the poll at the top of the page Z to register your vote.

Voted, Red! :thumbs:

[GiRTh]

Firefox. I prefer Opera but there is a problem with animation and with playing video. Does anyone know how to get around it.

I'm flabbergasted by the number of people who use IE6. PC wrold website voted it the 8th worst software product of all time.

PCWorld (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,125772-page,3/article.html)

To check out the poll.

Opera 9 because I use the built-in e-mail program and RSS feed reader, and it has a lot of good features (though not every site displays properly with it - better in this respect than previous versions but still not as good as Firefox or IE).

Although, increasingly, I use Firefox 2 because this laptop doesn't have much memory and Opera uses tons of memory and resources these days.

[Joe]

I dunno if you notice but CSS standards in IE are really poor and theres quite a lot of website which use CSS that wont display properly in IE but will in Firefox.

Altho firefox can be a resource hog at times but FF3 is supposed to fix that :tongue:

I haven't been finding that on the my old SUN workstation. If anything it seems a lot faster than Firefox 2 and it uses less memory (101 Megabytes compared to 126 Megabytes used by Firefox.

One thing I do like about Opera is that when you fill in a form and accidentally go to a different page on the TiBB you can press the back button and what you typed is still there. The only other browser I have used that has done that is Safari on the MacIntosh. Also with Opera I find the fonts look better, the pages look cleaner and the spell checker is better.

Never used the mail or chat features so I can't comment on them.

Firefox 2. Such a good browser.
