i agree whole hearted with your comments about the community its a web site somepeople use it as social club or as a second life when realy it should be about checking up on how the games are going with abit of commentary on the side

Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I prefer IE.

I said it.

Multiple home pages, superior tabbing, superior bookmarking. Seriously.

I have my firefox loading my gmail and yahoo mail accounts on startup (or home button, if you prefer). So multiple home pages is possible on firefox, even if it is a tad tricky to get to work.

As for superior tabbing / bookmarking, how so? im curious.

First of all there's a tab stub to open a new tab instead of command-T. And IE opens a new tab directly after the current one, instead of at the end of the line, so pages from the same website stay in line together.

Favorites, feeds and history are all in one click-open panel so that I can open a bunch of pages without renavigating a drop-down menu. It can also be reorganized more easily.

I'm sure some of that can be set up in Firefox, but I haven't been convinced to switch for a bit of speed and better standards compliance. IE is more of a standard than the actual standards anyways.

I have IE, Firefox and Safari all on my desktop though. And I have to admit that IE's content warnings are a pain. When I'm opening something from my desktop or that I just FTP'ed, I'm not worried about it being malicious, IE.

ugh, why would you want to click a "new tab" button with the mouse to open a new tab? Why even bother with control-T, when you type the address in the location bar, all you have to do is hit Alt+Enter and it will open in a new tab. middle click links to open them in a new tab.

better still, try opera or chrome. you get a hell of a lot more from switching away from IE than "a bit of speed and better standards compliance", not least of which is that you're playing a small part in making the web a better place for everyone

Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

I think that Opera is fast and efficient, and has a lot of cool options. You should give it a try.

i think i am gonna give it a try.

Majority of people dont even get this information. Most PC run Windows. All PC have IE. People who Myspace and all that dont give a damn. As long as it connects them to the internet. It wont change too much.
