IE 7 Anyone?

Greenguy · 2006-10-06, 09:04 AM

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?

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

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

Jim · 2006-10-06, 09:56 AM

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

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

KG Gary · 2006-10-06, 11:35 AM

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.

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

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

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

stuveltje · 2006-10-06, 11:58 AM

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 <B> 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

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?

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"
