lol. Internet Explorer does the job, and since there's nothing I can complain about it, I'll stick with it untill someone gives me enough good reasons why I should switch

Btw, even though it doesn't work in Internet Explorer, I just found out if you right click on the forum background, and select 'create shortcut', a shortcut will appear with the new SimV icon on your desktop.

The big boss says that Simviation believes in competition. Well, if we all used Firefox then there would just be a monoploy again. Someones got to keep the balace. Grin

I'm in the same boat. IE works for me and I haven't had any problems with it. I suppose if there was ever any serious reason to not use IE (or to use something else) I would then switch. But, as far as I'm concerned, the only thing switching will do is force me to learn the intricies of a new browser.

So hopefully, the SimV tag with eventually work in IE.

You see we have to have MS to have the sim - that is on one side of the scales. Mozilla must therefore be on the other.
Serously though, once you get used to it you won't look back. Wink

Personally, I still use IE, but I have had access to FireFox several times recently, and I have to say I prefer the latter. It has some interesting user-friendly features that I can't quite recall, but it seemed to be a little easier to use than IE.

And plus, I'm always on the side of the underdog . . . Wink
