i agree with those suggestions by blogtorank...

someone comes to the site, gets a message saying "What is your problem" (phrase it if it's not already phrases) then then some text below this (settable in ACP?) where the admin can type whatever they want...like a paragraph about why firefox is better and a link....

I don't like the idea how it closes windows. What happens if someone has few tabs open in the same window, loads the site with this hack installed, and then closes the whole window with the tabs. That would kinda sucks.

forcing someone to use another browser may end up causing them to not use your site anymore

[Ziki]

This would only close the tab

If anything this will drive members away from your forum because they might have to use a browser they are not comfitable with.

but for the people that would use it that would be ok with them...

say an IEsucks.com forum...operasucks.com...firefoxsucks.com (WHAT??!?!?!...lol)...or a multitude of other things...

I personally don't mind any of them....i just prefer firefox...but if i did make a site like that it would just be a neat feature to have...similar to a few sites I have that don't work if you type in www.beforethedomainname.com...because i'm a strong supporter of the no-www movement...my personal beliefs actually override my need for members on those sites...

so...that was just my long-winded way of saying some people might not care if they lose some sign-ups because of it ...still a neat option for some

I like Opera best, its way faster and beats firefox as stock and even with modifications and skins. But after a while, im not sure the problem but it slows down to like 1kb/s when you used it for like 6 months. Happened to me lots

The main maple story website doesn't allow any other browser than IE.One purpose of this.And perhaps you have a bug in your style that crashes in FF.
