NOTE: This template is compatible with IE6, however your experience will be enhanced with a newer browser.

If I have to upgrade to a newer browser that means the website has allot of junk/javascript/video/etc that has to load.

If it won't run on IE 6 and basic browsers, you will lose allot of participation.

I don't intend to upgrade to IE 7 (tried it; didn't like it; finally got it uninstalled) just to view a few websites.

IE 6 is pretty old. I finally upgraded to IE7 and like it much better than IE6. I use Firefox as well, and that has its own issues too. Some MS sites appear off in that.

Thanks for the input.

If you understood all the extra code and script that has to be written to deal with ie6 and its bugs, you’d understand why most web developers are choosing to no longer support that browser. It’s old and leftover from the days when MS deliberately chose to attempt to rewrite the standards to knock out other browsers. They finally saw the light and took out *most* of the non-standard garbage with ie7. ie7 isn’t perfect, but it’s leaps and bounds beyond ie6.

There will be less script in code that does not write for ie6.
