links not working in IE6

[mindcry]

I have recently noticed that links are not working in IE6, but work fine in every other browser. Basically the links are there but are not click able. Has anyone experienced this and hopefully know how to fix it? my site is snowboardaddicts.com

You mean the links in your navbar? I can see no reason why they aren't clickable. The only thing I can think of is the accesskey? Are ALL links not working? Like links to user profiles? Are any links working?

All of the links don't work. You cant even click on the boxes to enter your username. This is only the case in Internet Explorer 6 though. Every other browser I have tried works, including IE7

How about in the default style? Create a new style with no parent - Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style > no parent - then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

I figure out what the issue is. Apparently IE6 has issues with png files in the background. I changed all the png files to gif files and the links work correctly.

Very strange. I didn't know that (I'm not an IE user). Good detective work! :)

IE6 has to go. IE7 is looking good but it still sux. Conclusion is, IE sux. Sadly, there's an IE on every Windows machine (including mobile).

The main (modified) theme of my forum does not look the same in IE6 as in Firefox and IE7. Can't believe the nested divs trick (outer div has fixed width and zero padding while inner one has non-zero padding) doesn't work in IE6 since the inner div insists on inheriting the outer div's fixed width and increase it by the padding value. I just don't bother to fix it. :cool:
