Been discussed several times on here already today.

Use Firefox instead

Thanks Ethel. I've obviously not gone to the right topics.

I agree with young ethel there, I have stuck with IE cos i know it, but today after getting kicked off here and everywhere else all the time I've used Firefox and it is ace..............thus far!

I've just this minute switched to Firefox. Glad I saw this thread.

Firefox is fab Dot. Get the add-blocker, then you don't see the irritating ads on the right xx

Hi Tiggs- missed you there. I caught up with you on FB as promised! xx

[tiggerblue10]

Shall be using firefox from now on.
But how do u get your favorites to stay at the left of the page like IE?

Tigerlily, For the bookmarks sidebar.

Click "View" then "Sidebar" and click "Bookmarks".

I cannot believe the difference, I have been online for about 4 hours on Firefox and not had to reboot once!!!!! I kept thinking it was the dongle or my laptop!!!! It is brilliant!!!

at last the masses realise just how much better than IE firefox really is :)

[dabees]

This will put a serious dent into IE's market share Chuck, that can only be a good thing.

I've used it for 4 years and would never touch IE again.

[ChuckFickens]

I agree Dabs, it might even make MS sit up and make a good browser... probably not though.

I don't have the option to use IE on this lappy even if I wanted to as it's linux (even more secure for all you people that are really worried about security)

The only time I ever load IE on my windows laptop is to check exactly where menu settings are, how they are laid out and what they are called to answer questions on here:)
