Have you updated to ie 7?

[vxrmarc]

Have just moved to i.e 7 and i have to say that i think it is great....
It means that with the tabbing system can move between vxr and photobucket at ease and seems more user friendly!!!

What do you think and any tips for new i.e?

[P_D]

Yes its great

Holding down CONTROL and using the scroll-wheel on your mouse will zoom in and out.

Surprisingly enough no one has said it yet, but I hate IE7, if you can be bothered switch to firefox.... its soooooo much better

its quicker, easier to use
has a in-line spell checker
low on resources
if you close a tab by accident you can re-open it
when you close firefox you can keep all your pages and tabs when you re-open it
if you save passwords for websites you can set a master password, so if anyone else borrows your pc they can't get your passwords without entering a master password (which firefox only asks for once until you close the browser)
and much more stable

anyways I reckon Microsoft nicked half the ideas for ie7 from firefox. This cnet review compares it all http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6656808-1.html

without going off topic, how many people here use firefox?

NP let me know what you think, so far everyone I have told to try it has stuck with it:-D When you get it going (assuming you do) take a look at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/ there are literally thousands of add-ons and themes people have made, to do everything from sharing favourites across PC's, control windows media player, etc etc etc, I could go on, but I am starting to sound like an advert so I won't

Like others, I use firefox at home. Tried implementing ie7 at one of my schools, but the kids/staff couldnt be bothered to spend 5 minutes to learn the differences, so had to re-image 200+ machines to roll back :x

You can zoom using ctrl with older versions of IE too

since updating to IE7 my browser randomly crashes - havent had a chance to uninstall and reinstall to see if it sorts it though but it looks ok until it crashes on me :x

[jamestech]

Try going to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>IE7 (No Add-Ons) and see if that helps, you probably have a plugin that isn't compatible with IE7

[worsy]

yeh mine run's fine no probs with it at all gonna try firefox though see what it's all about :)

Gonna switch to firefox as I've always been a bit deflated with IE and now upgrading to version 7 my cookies no longer work. Have tried mucking about with the settings but it just won't store them anymore.
