Corrected.

IE8 is doing quite well, even surpassing Firefox in usability. Not to mention, being an integral part of the OS, it's quite a bit more responsive. :)

Not to double-post, but lasto got his in while I was typing.

IE8 != IE7

It's that simple. The reason sites "enhanced" (read: intentionally broken) for IE7 or lower don't work on IE8 is because IE8 actually works. Many sites are just looking for the "IE" useragent string and then malforming their pages to make IE7 or lower render them correctly. This is wrong. They should not be applying these "enhancements" to IE8, as it handles the web just as well as Firefox or Chrome. (Although Chrome's usability is still in question, but that's another topic.)

That it's easy to run a forum and anyone can do it. Not true.

if you build a forum, members will just appear ...... sadly it isn't the case ....

That clicking a banner will win you a free iPod, Xbox, Computer, or Free Ringtones.

(Then again, I've never clicked, so maybe it's true)

Internet is not food and you cannot download it.
