Useful info

Some useful info I picked up from another forum about IE 6.0 and thought I'll pass it along.
When someone has his privacy sets to high, that red stop sign appears at the right of browser's status bar for all vb pages.

The work around for apache server is to make sure that mod_headers is added to the Apache build

and to place those lines in an htaccess file at the root of your site.

PHP Code:

Header append P3P 'CP="NOI DSP COR NID CUR OUR NOR"' 


Works for me on my site with privacy sets to high, but all pages here and all vbulletin forums I have visited have it.

I do also once I remove those lines from my htaccess.

Sounds more like a "someone going crazy with their privacy settings" issue to me. They will have more problems then not accessing Vbulletin pages....

The proper way to do it is to add a P3P (Privacy Policy) according to W3C SPECS. If you modify the headers on the server side each site on the server will appear as if it has a P3P compliant policy. If anyone takes your advice they are actually misleading their visitors and members.

At its most basic level, P3P is a standardized set of multiple-choice questions, covering all the major aspects of a Web site's privacy policies. Taken together, they present a clear snapshot of how a site handles personal information about its users. P3P-enabled Web sites make this information available in a standard, machine-readable format. P3P enabled browsers can "read" this snapshot automatically and compare it to the consumer's own set of privacy preferences. P3P enhances user control by putting privacy policies where users can find them, in a form users can understand, and, most importantly, enables users to act on what they see.

NOTE: P3P has been around for years but has never gain attention.
