Anyone else notice that on many display settings, when one opens a thread, one must scroll down an entire page before seeing any of the thread content?

Yes.

I noticed that this seems to affect IE6 much more than IE7 or Firefox, although I occasionally see it in all browsers.

Uh huh. But only occasionally.

It's probably a browser error. This is Microsoft we're talking about!

Im a Mac user and I've never notice such a thing.

on IE6, it looks like the text column doesn't start until after the bottom of the Ad in the left column.

Never happened. Firefox works just fine.

I rest my case. Microsoft is the common factor!

Mmh.

Yeah.

I know why that might be.

Tom?

I was going to fix it, but for now I have decided to leave the bug in as a message to IE6 users: "The website is not completely broken, but it has small glitches because you use a crap browser."

The world will be a better place without the stupid IE6 bugs that take hours to identify and fix. Perhaps you don't realize it, but IE6 was released 7.5 years ago. And every machine that can run IE6 can also run IE7.

(I know that some people browse Antimoon on machines with old software that they don't control, e.g. at work or in a computer lab, but if we keep giving IE6 users the same experience as IE7 users, we will be stuck with IE6 much longer because no one will have any incentive to upgrade.)

«if we keep giving IE6 users the same experience as IE7 users, we will be stuck with IE6 much longer because no one will have any incentive to upgrade.»

Hear, hear.

«I have decided to leave the bug in as a message to IE6 users»

Great decision.

Ditto.
