@Twenty70Hosting So true. The worst part of any site design is making it render in IE. Gets worse if you want to support IE6 too :| @kevin1984

@robreact No way! IE5.5 on the Mac was the worst ever. But the issue here is that we all still have to support IE6 - no-one care about Nscp4 @andymassey

Though CrowdSplat doesn't ideologically support IE6, we'll support it in code. That said, the site will be much prettier in a modern browser @crowdsplat
