Links seem to be working fine now in IE7/8. Everything is a mess in IE 6 (probably shouldn't support it anyhow.. but its somehow still at like 10%).
Just curious how the site was made? It appears as though it wasn't hand coded, yeah?
ya congrats zer been workin on it, its fixed all links work for me. they always did on my Samsung Druid, had a mobile browser,
It was made using gedit, nano and Notepad.
The PHP code I wrote generates its own tags, which are mostly not HTML. I run that through a XSL transform. So, it's programmatically generated, and then transformed into HTML. The site's hand-coded, but the resulting HTML is computer-generated.
IE7 still has some trouble with screenshots, Who's Online, etc. as far as layout -- probably the width: 100%; CSS. But it's usable.
IE6, not sure I even want to try. Nightmarish. Perhaps I could put up a reduced page with simple links to a download, screenshots, etc. for IE6 users...
Imwhite, are you using IE7?
Umm i belive im using EI6, cuz i didnt like IE7.
I take that back, i got IE7, it was IE8 i didnt like and didnt upgrade too.
Ah well that explains. I figured no one would actually hand code all that nasty in-line styling.
You could use an alternate stylesheet for IE6, but you would have to deal with the aforementioned in-line styling and its high specificity value (pretty sure !important is higher, so it could be used).
As far as the other pages in IE7.. If you get rid of the right margin on table.ltable i think it would fix it. Not sure why its there?
Oh and imwhite, you would know if you had IE6:

home now - working fine on firefox.
not sure of the version of IE iv got at work..ill check and report back on monday
Oh and as for the clipping of the titles in IE7...
IE7 has a z-index bug, but its easy to get around. Give .content-horz-u a z-index of 1001+
When an element is relatively (or absolutely) positioned in IE7 it automatically gives it a z-index of 1000 for some reason

1000? Strange. That worked.. I had tried z-index: 20, etc. to no avail, thinking it would be a value in some way related to the other z-index values I'd set.
As for ltable, that was an artifact from the Encyclopedia, where I used it to space individual tables of information.
It'd been a while and I hadn't looked at the styling, and had just been using it as a generic 'table' class.
Nope... see the problem was you were using logical thinking. Internet Explorer is immune to all logic.
I just have it installed with wine (but not ies4linux). Why, are you getting different results?
Oh and now div#thumbBox needs to have its z-index pushed up above the title bar. haha. I love IE.
why are you even using IE6, IE7 is free and nice
I don't use IE6. I'm a professional web developer and around 10% of the internet still uses IE6, therefore I have to support it or I'm not good at my job.
Why do you use IE7? Its crap. Switch to Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari.
makes sense 
It's less than 10% for us. When looking at the logs I found a few percent of the IE6 folks were bots (one IE4 user on a DEC Alpha last year too 
, so it's probably closer to 5% real people.
Firefox is surprisingly common among people visiting the site, and Chrome and Opera are almost entirely unused.
I feel bad about IE6, but as a bad web developer, I feel it's a nightmare I don't wish to enter into
ah ok... lucky. My current client is a reseller of EMC servers/disk storage (big time backup). So you would think that because most of their audience is IT professionals I wouldn't have to worry about IE6, but in the last 30 days IE6 has been about 10% with <1% of that being bots. 60% IE in general, too. What is with people?
If you see a little blip for Chrome - Linux.. that would be me
Sad but true in most cases.
Although the site I'm working on is fairly low traffic (~ 2k uniques/month) and everyone that actually means to be on it is looking for servers/backup systems in the neighborhood of $50k-$500k. I just can't believe these people are that ignorant

I use IE7 by choice. When doing webdev I split my time between IE7 and Firefox (Firebug!). I find that Firefox does annoying things just as often as IE7/8, and so as long as I don't need to use any of the handy FF plugins, I'll stick with the prettiest browser with the best font rendering, etc.
If you care about things like startup speed or acid test score, though, browsers like Opera and the WebKit browsers blow both IE and FF out of the water, though.
I'm with you on Firefox. I used to use it primarily but I got tired of the bloat, so now I'm on Chrome and I used Firefox for development (I'll 2nd Firebug).
I don't use IE because.. well I'm on Linux for staters. But even when I'm on Windows I avoid it because of its lack of support for CSS3 and HTML5 stuff - I don't want to be the victim of graceful degradation (or non-graceful for that matter). IE9 looks much better with that, I'll try it out when it hits beta.
Opera 10 on Win98?

Well, HTML5 support is all over the board, with each browser maker supporting different pieces of it (and none of them even coming close to supporting all of the recommendations yet). Lack of CSS3 support is pretty annoying though, but you're right, IE9 will hopefully be much better about that.
