OK, Sorry if this is posted in the WRONG place but I'm not sure how to phrase the heading.

IE 6.0 has its problems but there are still 100ths of Internet users out there still using it and many of us are loosing traffic because our site will not display in IE 6.0 for some reason or the other due to some, plug, module or component etc, that we have installed.

I use facebook connect on many sites and by chance this morning I went to a computer I found out that a site of mine would not display. Went to another computer with Firefox and all OK. Then I tried a computer with IE 8 and all is well. Went back to the IE 6.0 and realize she in the problem.

I disabled all module and started enabling them back to find out its the CBlogin with the "CB Plugins integration" enabled.

I started searching around the forums here, over at Joomla and other forums but no suggestions or I'm not typing the right search phrase.

Is there a solution directly related to the cblog?

I switched templates still the same issued. I running Joomla 1.5.19 and all of the sites where I use the plug_cbconnect-100 expriencing the same.

Its not too much of a big issue but as I said many users out there could not careless about upgrade and just feel its your site which is not working especially if the issue is on the frontpages as in my case.

That I fully understand but how are we going to tell the many Internet users out there who are still ignorance of the computer or could not careless of the 'know-how' to why they see what they as error and just won’t come back to the site after some browser refresh and keep getting the same error but we still need to them to be counted in our returning number of visitors?

When I started doing web pages back in 1996 when the Internet first came to my country, I started off with Tripod and felt what I was doing on the web was excellent on still a kid wrote me an email and said, [its webmasters like you who should not be on this universe putting all this garbage on the Internet].

Why did he say this to me I had no idea until I open the site in a different browser than Netscape (don’t remember which one).

From then on, I kept going between different web browsers when I build a new website or make changes to a page and this has paid off to my learning process.

We still have a lot of grown ups using the Internet and we need not to forget them but again, I understand the point of the developer(s) they do not really need the same users as I to maintain their business and do not take me wrong. I’m just having a conversation with you and no bad feelings here.

You know what would be nice is if web browser developers would automatically force updates in the background, hahaha.

Many Thanks for this interaction.

OK, thanks again for the interaction. I am using the "incubator project CB Connect" - No problems but for those who might have read our conversation here - Playing around, I found out its when you have "Search Engine Friendly URL" ticked that issue occurs so you can either not used Search Engine Friendly URL or as Krileon says,

At any rate I understand your frustration, but this is where you weigh your losses. You can use the plugin and potentially lose IE6 users but gaining millions of potential users via Facebook or you can keep the few IE6 and lose millions of potential.

.

In my case, I have no idea how many IE6 users come to my site. I just happen to have IE6 on my SAM4 computer because I do not do any surfing from there but occasionally pull up a site from this computer.

OK, conversation over. And again krileon thanks for the work that you guys are doing.
