Banned: Members denied participation in discussions

IE6? - you must switch!

« 10 January 2007 | 18:21 | default, help | No Comments »

Internet Explorer 6 and earlier don’t support sqrlz style, or a plethora of web standards. A sad state of affairs, to say the least. And we’re not going to support that (i.e.(!) install special fixes). Check these Wikipedia.org links for the skinny:
