My personal take is, there aren't very many actual humans using it. It's almost always a botnet zombie computer.

And if it is a human using that dinosaur, I really don't want his/her traffic anyway.

I came across this a couple weeks back:

http://www.ie6countdown.com/


It's a worldwide countdown Microsoft is doing tracking Internet Explorer 6 usage. They are tracking the percentage of users worldwide still using ie6.


Excluding China the percentage of users worldwide still using ie6 is much less than 1% and in China it is currently 24%. To me that is just one more reason to block "MSIE 6".

Yup. Like I said, people who use that dinosaur aren't desirable to have on the site, and definitely aren't worth support for their archaic, garbage browser that should be erased from the web.

WARNING: For those that have that use the vBulletin Mobile Application, this plugin can and will prevent your app from being publish. if you have the UserAgent banned. I think it is the MSIE 6.

Solution: When you got to publish you app just disable this product until you have published you app. Then enable the product after words. If you have this active when trying to publish and you have it posting in a forum, look for the post that targes the API file. Then you will know what the UserAgent is that you have that is locking it down and preventing it from getting your site's information. Don't worry, when you go to publish you will know instantly.

Why on Earth would you ban the IE6 user agent?

Because just about the only use for IE6 anymore is spambot networks, botnet zombie computers.

If some real, actual human is still using IE6 I don't want them on my site.
But, there really aren't.

Installed and testing.

One question, the pre-filled redirect url should be left intact?

Thanks
