Odd. I can only access it from my downloaded safari internet that's on my laptop. Well... I guess this is the new bikeforums?

We're working on IE access.

I can view it FINE in IE7 but I think:

a) way too wide
Large pictures should be autosized with an enlargement click to either enlarge or open in a new window (like thumbnails)

b) The vBulletin 4.0 'bug' is intrusive, especially during composition. Limit the composing window so that it ends prior to that spot.

I have few concerns about the new platform and they tend to come slowly. I would define that as the makings of a good platform at this point.

Koffee and other IE6 users, it's probably either time to upgrade or change browsers, from what I've been gathering reading comments from vBulletin admins.

This is better than the initial version but I liked the mockups some did better. Call me a boy but blues work slightly better and bright whites are always a bit stark for the eyes at less than 2 feet viewing distance.

The editing is missing a cog as are the buttons and icons.

All of it, including the font size for composing is rather small. Microscopic. I'm myopic.

I'm using IE 8 and still can't start a new thread -- any suggestions?

I'm on IE 7 and can't start a new thread - WTF!?!?!

Seriously, if things don't work on IE - you're missing an awful lot of people.
