This is just my taste as well as a little joking on the side. But
I don't trust IE and that is my taste. If you think it is good then
great. But I will stay with what I have. The rule: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :redface:
So I don't fix a good thing with me. So PosFan I hope you get your problem fixed. :thumb:

IE6 since I ran Win98 as OS on the internet pc (to avoid virus attacks since the new ones are written mostly for XP and/or Vista) You can freeze a whole pc, at least mine. this is my second try to answer, first one freezes and I had to reboot. :stomp: :stomp: Don't have Opera installed - though I still want to look at it and try it out some day....

I just uninstalled a proxy revealer :mmmh: Maybe it's something with javascripts :dontknw: but it's strange that it happens only with PF :redface:

To check how a website looks in various browsers. Plus Journal CSS on Deviant Art behaves differently in IE/Firefox. Plus in the end it comes down to your own taste: the prog you used first when starting something will always be your first choice cause you just know it better since you spend more time with it over the years. Aka I prefer Poser over Studio, PSP over PS (though I use PS too), IE over Firefox and so on.... And I second Tormie's statement below

The reason why I use WIn98 for Internet :D Had it set up with modem and software firewall before I got DSL. Now I only use the routers hardware firewall. I can beat it - 3 1/2 years without any problems and that with IE. One can avoid virus simply by not clicking on everything if one uses his brain. Unfortunatly most users don't use their brain. |

There's nothing wrong with your taste, kenny - and I won't convince you that IE is better. have to quote myself here
And I second your rule: never change a winning team or a working pc It's not really a problem. I mean i still can use FF if IE strikes with PF. But since it only happens with PF it may be something in Tormie's configuration. and @ Tormie I can't remember exactly when this started, but I know that I don't have this problem from the beginning. so maybe it was the last PHP change or the one before when this problem occured for the first time. Probably the one before since I had that happen when I still was on modem use (but I thought it was because I had a slow connection. Since I'm on DSL for some time now and it still happens... :mmmh: ) |

She might be on to something Davide. It is funny how all of a sudden a change has been made. :mmmh: |

Well, in the last period we have been attacked a couple of times by hackers, one time successfully.
And we were also spotted by comment spammers, comment spammers tries to every site, with automatic programs in order to post the links to the sites that pay them (things like porn, viagra, how to enlarge my penis :redface: etc... ). In big sites, like rosity for example, they pay a bunch of people for doing nothing else but finding the messages and delete them. I installed some software that does it automatically, and the staff can see that no one spam message has appeared here in months, even if I made the registration process very simple in comparison of what it was in the past. Basically, a comment spammer have to register to the site manually(here) with their real IP address to post something, and they are still blocked if they write something wrong (new users are under the eyes of another drone, if they write something like "sex" or "viagra" for example, they are blocked since my intervention). We've also a code that blocks the referrer links from Renderosity, because the staff there took side with the pornguy dphoadley when he continuously spread dirt on Posetteforever: I wrote some replies and I was banned from Karen James (an admin that is in the friends' list of the pornguy). For that reason links coming from Renderosity goes to a special page :D . These codes makes the site a little slower, just a little, because when you connect , they check your internet connection to the site, and we're on a cheap hosting company (godaddy) on a computer that is shared with other sites, so sometimes this computer get busy with other application that are resources hungry and we become "slow" :roll: ... I could go to a faster hosting company but it would cost me a lot of money and I prefer to keep Posetteforever without advertising (but maybe sooner or later I'll win Lotto or a lottery :wink: ). I mean, this is all I can do with my bus driver's wages :oops: I think that one of these codes interferes with your (old) IE6. In this two days I checked and removed a piece of software, but I can't do else or we'll come back to hackers and comment spammers era :dontknow: . We have to keep this software because I don't have money to pay people for keeping an eye opened on the site 24h deleting spam, the staff here is all on volunteer base so I can ask nothing. BTW all seems to work fine but your configuration, what I can suggest you is to upgrade a little your system, I don't know if IE7 is available for windows98 but your system is a little "old" :mmmh: . At the moment I don't have enough data to solve the problem :sorry: |

Nope can't be that. Even I am on Windows 98 SE when I am on PF or the net. But I am using Firefox. You might want to convert back to IE6 or 5.5 to help you out. I used 5.5 and it seemed to do ok for browsing. I hope this helps as well. :thumb: |

P.S.
Avant Browser can be considered an upgraded Internet Explorer, my brother uses it as default: http://www.avantbrowser.com/ |

Well not really. I like the little PC better for net. We pay way to much for expensive PC to
be put out on the net for garbage to be put on them. Just think of all the Poser software and things you have on a PC with 3 hard drives and then a virus hits it knocking it out and days end to bring back up. My PC on the net how ever has an 8 gig hard drive. Then I have an eithernet with a cable going to the bigger PCs to just transfer what I had from the net. Alot easier to format a hard drive of 8 gigs than 3x350 gig hard drives. Talking about a nightmare. :redface: |

Ok Kenny :) . The problem is that with older version of the O.S. or the browser you couldn't even "see" some features of the sites you're visiting. If you use the "little" PC only to surf the net a good solution is to install Linux on it :D ...
I had to format the main HD after some years because the report from "Partition Magic" was "Partition Damaged". Even if I kept the PC clean from viruses, it may be something to to a virus, I was not able to fix it... It was not even in the MBR, so I transferred the data on a spare HD and made a clean install... |
