IE 7 Anyone?
 
I have no idea how far behind the times I am, but IE updated me to 7 yesterday & I have to say, it's just lovely.

I do like the Tab Browsing, but I've yet to get used to it (I keep hitting alt-tab - lol)

Websites/pages also seem to look a lot better now as well.

Anyone else have it? Opinions? Advice?

Welcome to the 21st century :D

Ive got it had it since the beta I love it.

You can just right click a link to get it opened in a new tab or window and have each category of the forums open like me I have found it a good way of searching the net without losing the page I started at.

Not had time to look at what add ons there are yet though

I had a feeling when I started this thread that 99.44% of Windows users already had it & that I was just going to make an ass of myself |cry|

Go to Google & let them automatically update your toolbar, as that seems to break it :D

I tried using it during beta and it wouldn't work :) Now, I expect I would have to reboot my pc and I just can't do that for a couple of days :)

MrYum 2006-10-06 10:00 AM

Yup, IE is playing catch up with Firefox :D

Haven't tried it yet here, but have heard good things about the new IE :)

MrMaryLou 2006-10-06 10:13 AM

I was in the dark ages as well :) Now I have upgraded and I really like the tabs :)

Euww. Just tried it and I couldn't get the buttons and things into the places I'm used to having them. Straight back to IE6 for me...at least for a while.
|huh

I was confused for a bit as well - took me at least 5 minutes to find the "refresh" button :D

There also seem to be no java with this version - mouseovers might be obsolete |waves|

And both Google & IE seem to be whoring themselves out to everyone with money to buy a button on your toolbar - they are all options, but fuck em, there's a lot of useless option to choose from |jackinthe

mmmm Stu<--- checking into the update for ie7

I wonder how much it would cost to purchase a button with a picture of Ashley Simpson that when moused-over reads "Click Here For Free Porn". |confused|

This post does not endorse masterbating to pictures of Ashley Simpson. That would be freakin' wrong!

stuveltje 2006-10-06 12:39 PM

oke downloaded ie7, all went smooth (wow) its all working oke, found my favorites (thats most important for me) i only have the feeling the way the fonts are showing on the webpages are different then before, they look mmmmm like there is an code for it

stuveltje 2006-10-06 12:55 PM

heay wasnt there something where you could change the fontz to large, medium, small and normal, where the fuck is it now?

emmanuelle 2006-10-06 12:55 PM

ugh- wtf have I done?!?!?!

that's the last time I take advice from a message board |couch|

Yeah, the first thing I did was lose as much of the unneeded crap as possible, but I also wanted to rearrange things as I like minimal clutter. Certain positions seemed to be locked even when I unlocked the toolbars and looked through the options.
I'll install it again sometime soon and fiddle around a bit more. I use FireFox's tabbed browsing for my submits and it would be great to be able to use IE7 for that.
:)

I'm with you, stuveltje. Too much trouble and it was much too easy to give up and go back to IE6!

stuveltje 2006-10-06 02:29 PM

oh and i forgot to say, i had suddnely 3 toolbars on my screen and my google toolbar didnt work right anymore

Greenguy 2006-10-06 02:38 PM

3 toolbars? too many buttons? what are you people doing to fuck things up? :D

I think I have LESS buttons now - refresh, stop, favorites, add favorite, home, print, tools - that's it (aside form the google toolbar)

Right click, customize toolbar, add/remove - it's very simple.

Greenguy 2006-10-06 02:39 PM

ohhh - hitting "alt" brings up the old File, Edit... area - NICE!

right click i have too, but where is the top click which shows the real html code of a page in ie7, thats why i needed to change back to ie6, with reviewing i need the top bar view, click source to see the real html code, like http://www.gallery86.net right click you see full html code, top bar click view, then source you will see the real html code, to be honest i never use th right click view source, i always use the top one and i cant find that one in ie7

Greenguy 2006-10-06 04:18 PM

Was there a "view source" button before? I always went to edit - view source or just right clicked on the page & did it from there.

If you don't see the File, Edit, etc stuff, right click the menu bar & check off "menu bar" :)
