maybe this is a bit obtrusive for some, but id be interested to see a mod that sends an auto-PM to anyone it detects using IE
with a PM that says whatever you wish to say (set in the vbulletin options)

Not entirely relevant but I found this snippet somewhere here at vB.org. I can?t remember where so I can?t give the credit where it?s due.
<center><if condition="!is_browser('firefox')"> <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/" target="_blank">Get Firefox!</a> </if>
</center>

<center><if condition="!is_browser('firefox')"><if condition="is_browser('ie')"> <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/" target="_blank">You should be using Firefox!</a> </if></if>

why would you not just design your site to support all browsers?
or if it does not support all browsers just put a note on the page that it is best viewed in a different browser?
I only have one script that does not work on a certain browser and it is FF it does not work on. But I boldly tell people if they want to use it, to use IE only.

my website supports all browsers but we have alot of ads and firefox blocks them all, i still get credit/paid either way so im trying to help my members, not to mention firefox is the better browser

i dont disagree with FF being a better browser, I am using. But I know still over 88% of the world uses IE.
not to mention that the headers do not always return IE in them if the user is using IE.
Some return nt4.0 if using older IE versions and so on.
If you are basing it off of headers you could just do a redirect to the FF download page with a frame that says, if you want to view my site install this application.....lol
And if you wanted to get real smart you would download FF for developers, and create your own home page with advertising and google adsense search and have them install that version.... :)
