    Can't recreate it. Can you try on a different browser?

    More likely to be a bug in Opera than in vBulletin TBH. Let us know if it happens again.

    Also, for the love of all that's good and holy please upgrade your copy of IE.

    • So far this month on boards.ie, IE6 on Windows <= 2000 constitutes only 10.7% of all IE6 traffic. He's probably on a machine where an upgrade is possible.
    • He might not be in work. Every squishing of IE6 is a win for the internet.

    You should make these stats public.

    They are interesting to read :)

    That includes me \o/

    I also have firefox installed on this machine, but use IE6 more for testing and stuff.

    Maybe down the road, they are useful. That one was pulled from the web server logs with a Perl one-liner so it's not really in a publishable form right now.

    The reason I'm so down on IE6 is that it requires a disproportionate amount of dev time to account for it. It's currently running at roughly 13% of our total traffic and is the only major browser which requires hacks to get stuff to render correctly.

    I have much pity for you.

    Out of curiosity, how much of the rest of the web works properly for you?

    Somewhere between 80 and 90% I'd say. Though loads of sites are completely Websense blocked.

    Most of the problems I have with boards are actually down to the fact that http://www.boards.ie and http://boards.ie are both blocked and I have to run through http://anythingelseinhere.boards.ie

    No javascript, no button images etc. Otherwise pages load ok, but it's not what I'd call pretty.

    Is http://m.boards.ie/ blocked? It might be an option since it's intended to work without Javascript and images. It sucks for moderating but it's not bad for reading.

    Not being able to give thanks would annoy me, but yes, better than nothing :)

    I only gave my first thanks today anyway so that's not a priority.

    Just for the record, the reason my IE version is so low is it's because it's what came with the comp and I tend to avoid it for many reasons. It was the only other browser on my new netbook :)

    I think you are correct on it being Opera, its not happening at all now however. *Shrugs*

    It just happened, redirecting to googleads.

    Think I will have to ditch Opera, might be a bit of an impediment to modding.

    Very odd. I'm guessing that it's picking up links from somewhere else in the page and erroneously redirecting to those.

    Have a look at Chrome, Safari 4, Firefox 3.5 or IE 8. They're all pretty fast.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
