Pinning Boards.ie to the Taskbar

evolutionqy7 · 05-10-2011 10:32am #1

Seems as Boards.ie isnt tuned to Internet Explorer 9.

One of the new features that came out was pinning websites to the taskbar and by right click being able to access a quick jump list for certain parts

i.e. Hotmail and other sites have this

now this what boards.ie gives

It would be useful if you could jump into subscriptions, inbox and other stuff.

Interesting, didn't know about this feature (not an IE user). Here's some more info on implementing:

Also forgot to mention you can get notifications activated as well

So make your website into more like an application like experience.

I think it would be quite handy for subscirptions feature and pm's on boards.ie

You dont use Internet Explorer ? Why?

I dont think thats the point of this thread. I like IE9. Its nice fast and elegant. It also uses alot less power than other browsers so it doesnt drain the battery as fast.

Because it's rendering engine is hideous, quirky and a pain to develop for, but as you said - it's beside the point

Would still be a nice feature to implement, for you browser heathens

Wouldnt have a clue weather IE9 is hard for developers or not?

IE8 was crap and would never used it. But once i tried IE9 it seemed to run content nicely and smoothly

Havent had a problem with IE9 yet.

I notice FF latest (not sure what frackin' version it is this week) has similar "Frequent" and "Tasks" sections. Chrome similar. If anyone has sample code to implement cross browser, throw it up

Windows-Only I think, I don't see anything on FF for Mac to do with Frequent/Tasks and I'm running FF7.

This has been done.

So while we may mock you IE users for your choice of browser, never let it be said that we don't show you the love.

I tired this just now on Vista and couldn't get it to work. Then realised - this is for Windows 7/IE9 only right?

Boards.ie: Neil · 06-12-2011 12:05pm

It's IE 9 and Windows 7 only I'm afraid. AFAIK from my limited use of vista it doesn't allow you to 'pin' items to the taskbar.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 06-12-2011 12:13pm

Yup, you're correct. Vista doesn't support it.

But I read the popup on the front page a few times - saying IE9 (no mention of Win 7). I thought that maybe there's some feature I haven't seen yet in IE9. After a couple minutes trying to figure it out, I re-read the OP and I realised it was Win7.

Might be worth while to mention IE9/Win 7 in the popup.

We've rolled out a change to the browser detection so that the popup won't be displayed to Vista users.
