I've pretty much decided that IE6 users are going to have to be "unsupported" once we move to vB4. They pretty much are anyway since my 3.8 site's full of PNGs and various CSS tricks that IE6 doesn't like.

As far as I can tell most things "work" in vB4 on IE6, the only thing I'll want to really do is sort out the "enormous avatars" issue, not quite sure why they do that in IE6 but I'm sure a browser conditional can sort it.

IE7, the only thing I am now aware of (unless this postbit change broke anything) is my tweaked clickable smiliey boxes don't display properly...the smilies don't sit within the box, they spill out. I think this is due to the smiliebits using <li> tags rather than <td> tags as they did in 3.8. And I don't think there's an easy fix. I might have to conditionalise them into not appearing in IE7 at all....

Beyond that I'll rig up some sort of notice at the top advising IE6 users that the site may not function or display correctly. If it's good enough for Facebook, Google etc then it's good enough for us.
