If you are still using Microsoft Internet Explorer you will experience that some graphic elements on this forum is not displayed correctly. This is not due to a defect in the forum software, but has entirely to do with lack of graphic support in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This forum is designed in accordance with internationally approved web standards, and any modern, updated browser will display these pages faultlessly, for instance Firefox or Opera. If you work on a Windows platform we recommend a transition to one of these brilliant (and free) browsers.

I should add that the graphics support is improved in the next version of the software, Internet Explorer 7, which is due soon. Finally. Not a minute too soon.

To explain in more detail, here's a note from the creator of the forum, Yves Goergen:

"This forum, especially since version 1.6, makes use of rather advanced web technologies like CSS 2.1 (and partial CSS 3), PNG alpha channel transparency, JavaScript, DOM and XML, XHTML to give it that modern and functional look. This requires a modern browser like there are several available today, amongst others Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Mac OS X’ Safari. Some older browsers still widely distributed, like Microsoft Internet Explorer, don’t sufficiently support all of these features and may thus show web pages incorrectly or behave unexpectedly. I take reasonable effort to make Internet Explorer show something at all but if you want to see the pages in their full beauty, you should really consider to switch to another web browser. I do my job keeping with established standards without which the web would terribly break, now it’s time for Microsoft to do theirs as well."
