I'd seriously ask about why they havent upgraded to IE7 or even 8.

Some pretty bad security risks in using dated software unless there is a real need for it...


Yep, I agree, but since I am now a contractor, (We've been outsourced - I may have mentioned it) it's not really my problem anymore.

Why? They didn't appear on the Dennis forums and, to the best of my knowledge, this didn't actually cause anybody to die.

I believe in PHPBB you can define your own smilies and/or BBCode. May I suggest that we have some common “memes’? For example, [facepalm] would cause that picture of Captain Picard. You know the one.

Maybe it's just me being thick, but could you explain what "monitoring" you mean? I didn't use the CPC portal so perhaps it was different.

On here, there's the "view your posts" link which is handy for seeing what you said earlier. On the other place I had to search against myself.

There's also the "notify on reply" option, just like the other place.

That's one of my emotes:

I thought you only need a warning when the site is going to open a new page automatically. i.e. you browse to a site and as it loads it opens a second window/tab.

No any link that will open in a new window should carry a warning. Reality is 90% don't. I don't see it as a problem as most assistive technologies these days will warn a user anyway.
