AAaaaAa official guy from Microsoft is here!!11 Let’s all make a wish, maybe MS can hear us through John Hrvatin!!!1 I start first:

Mister Hrvatin, to fix your FD (Firefox Downloader, or as some still call it – Internet Explorer), please just copy entire source code from mozilla firefox, opera or google chrome and paste it into IE browser, it will make this world a better place!

Regards,
angry developer who spent a lot of time in the past with your Firefox Downloaders (especially with FD 6 , i really love that guy, he is always trying to be unique and creative)

(There, i had to say it! Microsoft, please don’t kill me, or sentence me to a lifetime of using FD, or something like that )

Hilarious!

+1, I spent a lot of time with FD in the past too. Apparently Microsoft was worried about web developers having too much time on their hands so they invented IE 6 -8.

My Sony VAIO came with Google Chrome preinstalled, so I haven’t had to touch Internet Explorer. This is why SONY or Apple products will always be my first pick – because they don’t make you use IE.

Did any of you knuckle heads even read what that guy said? probably not right.

Yes, i read his post, looks like whole IE9 is promising and that it will be better! But that doesn’t change the fact that i had great problems in the past with earlier versions of IE

Btw someone flagged my ragepost Fortunately you can read it in Parallelus’s quote

Yeah, I read what he said. Did you have a chance to look up the word ‘sarcasm’ yet?

Exactly!

Thank you for the update file!

Just make sure you have it covered as it’s in the latest Windows 7 important update list, so most people will automatically install the dam thing.

I was just ready to go live with a site and hadn’t chekced the ‘real’ version as I refuse to install it. My IE tester shows cufon fine in 9.

I have three people contacted my this week as in IE9 they cannot see chunks of text on this site; http://amacoachingschool.org some of this text is in h4 Do I have to change my theme away from themeforest Unite to another, like ‘profits theme’ which I am using on another client site without such issues? thanks.

You can fix the problem in under 2 minutes.

1. Go to http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ and click “Download” in the top navigation.

2. Save that file as “cufon-yui.js”

3. Copy the new file to “parallelus-unite/js” replacing the one in your theme’s directory.
