Get rid of IE6!

Check this out.

About time really, coding for IE6 is an absolute pain in the ass. Share it around.

I realise it's past it's time now but I was always a great fan of Internet Explorer 6, I hung on to it for a while, refusing Firefox and not willing to upgrade to IE 7 "I don't need no tabs!" - Was kinda cool how it was integrated with Windows Explorer and relatively simple to use (Although it looks complicated compared to Google Chrome).

I better get learning Chinese Where is the countdown, or are they just saying "end of 2011" as the end of the timer? I was sat staring at the screen expecting it to tell me when IE 6 is hopefully wiped off the face of the earth - or people have stopped coding sites for it, whichever comes first.

TIL where China actually is, I always thought it was slightly further north and a lot bigger.

What is the 'about time really' bit referring to? People have been dropping support for it for years and websites like that have been around for just as long.

I'm pretty sure anyone who knows how to code will refuse to code for IE6 these days unless paid a lot more than their usual fee, web developers want it gone for good.
I was confused by the countdown it too, misleading name

I just found it on CHF, so thought I'd share it on here haha. And some website says 2014 they're ending it for good but I'm not sure.

I do not support IE6 in anything I code. Infact, I'm not so sure it all runs so smoothly in IE7 either. I will support IE8 and IE9. The foremost grudgingly and because a lot of people use it in ignorance. Grudgingly because Microsoft had yet again failed to adhere to the generally accepted standards of progressional web development for countless years.

It just sucks and I cannot express on an acceptable amplitude the amount at which that browser's shown a history of such epic failure and the developer team such a great display of massive ignorance. The amount of IE users really goes to show why so many people use IE, and equally, Windows. Because it came with their computer and they simply know no different or better. Indifference sucks we should banish them from the interweb until they download Chrome.

I have taken the liberty of converting this website's banner into a singular image that will work anywhere for anyone who's interested. This is what it will look like for IE users:

I don't see the point in those, people using computers on a Windows domain may still be using IE8, which isn't that old but provides easy management through group policies for the Administrators which Chrome and Firefox does not.

Agreed. I agree with the banners for IE6 because Microsoft want people to get upgrading to more newer versions and what not but you can't tell people to switch over to IE8 to Chrome when they don't want. Anyway, they can all go to IE9 when it's released fully.

They should still be smart enough not to use IE8 with is still garbage. If they wont move over to Chrome which is a million times better they can move over to the current release if IE9 which is a thousand times better.
