Only if you view things through steam.
I only use it for launching games and chatting with friends.

And before someone points it out, I don't read the news, updates or shop.

I don't know how into web design you are but IE doesn't interpret pages properly. Mainly css issues. If the page was complient would it not please 100% of the people? Work just fine in IE and all other browsers too?

it wont work in tf2. tf2 uses ie, live with it :( I'm no ie fan either. the only reason I have a working, updated ie install is for tf2 ingame.

mooted slightly by the latest steam update that allows web browsing from within the game overlay, so web browsing is not limited to enabled game servers, but still uses ie, as does steam itself(store, community are rendered w/ ie, regardless of def. browser settings)

We've moved away from fancy-dan html motd pages because people w/ broken/neglected ie installs were getting game crashes on join. Simple fix - have working ie, even if you dont use it. But as I said, not all are techies, so simpler fix was to go back to plain text motd.

I know it's far from ideal or ooohwhizzbang, but I just think for ingame use, simple known ie friendly methods should be used. If it's just for standalone browser or os agnostic use, go wild!!

Enough to have felt the wrath of IE6 to 7 and now to 8 just as much as FF1.5 to FF2 and FF3 ;)

I'm sure it would but I'm also sure microsoft have their own adgenda ;) Oh how the plans of mice and men weave their cunning web. :)

Great to see a lot of discussion of the technical side happening, as with all these things there are bound to be teething problems but our collected intellect shall overcome! ;)

So who's up for putting on a live show for us? :mrgreen:

Even that spidermouse has gotta be better at mixing than me!

I don't know if the quality is good enough but here's a drum 'n bass thingy I did a few years back while teaching myself how to use Reason. Feel free to use it if its not too sucky.

Any chance of rooting out/redo-ing "The Sun Always Shines on Dintbo"?

Tbh, I don't think the front end matters that much, simplistic works well - you see it for a matter of seconds then spend hours playing TF2. Do you remember the front end compared to the awesome kills (or deaths) you pull up? No, the less obtrusive the better :)
