I thought I would post this as an FYI, not because it is causing grief. I need to click on the forum jump box twice in order for it to display. The first click results in the jump box dropping and displaying for a split second before disappearing. The second click displays the box properly. This occurs everytime I click on the box in IE 7. ---

This thread sums up my view on IE: the browser itself is an insignificant bug. ---

Well, first thing’s first: IE 7 is currently in Beta right now, so any problems arising from the use of it are _probably_ due to it being in Beta. That said, I’ve navigated the boards using IE 7 Beta 2, and I don’t seem to be recreating the problem you’re seeing. I can click on the jump box once and away I go. Do you have the latest Beta? ---

Funny people 😛 I’m just playing with IE the same way I play with Vista, I use Firefox most of the time. I’ll dl the latest beta and get back to you **SkipMagic**. ---

The latest IE7 update seems to solve most problems I had with it, although some of the forums I visit which are also graphics intensive seem to freeze intermittantly.
