    All the posts I look at look like that. I assume the others are seeing the same thing when using IE

    Windows 7 and Google Chrome here. I've never had any problem with this site, ever.

    Why do people still use IE?

    Chrome is maybe the fastest browser, period. Safari uses the same code base, so it might be just as fast.

    Yeah, the reply with a quote doesn't work for me either. It just disappears and you click it again and it automatically goes into the advanced reply section.

    My work is stuck in the stone age when it comes to any technology, though I'm sure telling them to change it so I can better view Blazers MBs during work wouldn't go over too well.

    Some offices lock down which browsers are installed... it's easier for an IT team to manage a single configuration.

    It kinda sucks, unless it's IE6... then it REALLY sucks. :)

    Nope. Still not fixed. Another interesting thing is you have to click "Reply with Quote" twice before it works.

    Man, debugging in IE7 blows. It has like zero developer tools.

    I am not sure if IEWatch works with IE7 - but it is actually a very very good development tool for the current version.

    I am almost certain they have a limited-time test version.

    The site was fine on my work computer but on my home computer it is completely wack. Any time there is a quotation box in the post, it is stationary in the frame (which are all a fixed size) but I have to use vertical and horizontal scroll bars to read the text. To post this reply, the reply window went clear off the right side of my screen and I had to scroll over using the bar at the bottom to find it to post this. I don't know what IE I am using but I thought I upgraded it recently -- Maybe IE8?
