No Opera?

[TheSupportForum]

i will look into adding Opera on the NoIE6 Fix, in the meantime please use the current version shown, i will give it a go later on!!

[Boofo]

Well, I would rather wait until you "give it a go." Looking forward to it, sir.

[futureye]

it would be better if you use perms fo lang for easy translate

[TheSupportForum]

as of 4.0.7 more languages will be released on Saturday 31st July 2010
i already have them ready, due to how busy i am this week i will try upload them before then

[BirdOPrey5]

No offence but 99% of people on IE6 have no ability to upgrade it because it's their work or school systems and they are not allowed to change anything. Presenting this message will just serve to upset them and I'd be willing to put money down not a single person will see this message and decide to upgrade if they haven't already.

[TheSupportForum]

that is true as i work for a school myselft and use IE6, this MOD just encourages users to upgrade their browser, VB4 does not support IE6 correctly
