Are you aware that your “need and updated browser” notice intrudes on my ability to post or read threads??? If I open a new window to post, say, this thread so you understand this, your “Need a new browser” window indrudes so I can’t post, open…I mean, what gives? I happen to read COTH on a computer WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OR PERMISSION TO UPDATE!!! Yes, the browser is dated, yes, if you update your browser the people complaining they can’t u8se smilies and can’t use your windows because the ads intrude will have their problems solved, (maybe, it could be that its your site architecture which needs solving, not the ‘dated’ browsers, because I still have problems with my home computer which IS updated, but that’s another discussion) but you just made it impossible for me to use your website.
Why? Because you made the “need and updated browser” notice permanent, until I update the browser!!! I will NEVER be able to update the browser!!!
Giving the notice is one thing, and its convenient and good information, but when I choose NOT to click on any of the updates, and CONTINUE with me outdated browser, THAT’S MY CHOICE, why did you make it so that I can’t continue on your website until I update my browser??? How intrusive and inconsiderate is that!!!
I have been to websites which proved such a notice to users when they come to the site, but if you don’t follow the link right then, the notice goes away. It should not block the use of the site until the link is followed. I had to borrow someone’s computer to post this.
Very inconsiderate. Very poor thinking, planning and follow through. Frankly, this is exemplarary of the kind of amature site reconstruction we have been experiencing from the beginng of this selfish, non-user friendly upgrade.
Bad form!!
