i hate browsing with netscape.. its obscene..
I used Netscape 4.something to edit html though, and i got so used to it it was difficult for me to learn something else so i stuck to it.
When my computer crashed in april i downloaded Netscape 6 for my new system.. damn it sucked.. absolutely no useful features in the composer program and it would have taken me longer to relearn it than it would have to DL a more useful HTML editor.. id rather code it in notepad! I'm lucky they still offered 4.77 (the one i was comfortable using)
I think the functionality of Netscape 6 has something to do with the association with AOL.. it seems to have all the features that make that program great (pretty buttons, blue screens of death & having to reformat your drive to get rid of it)

If it's four years old, I'd have given up trying to remain compatible with it ages ago. You don't try and make Flare complatible with IE 3, do you?

IE3 renders Flare just fine, IIRC.
In fact, any table supporting browser can render Flare.. just at different levels of prettyness. NS2, for example, doesn't know how to do table background colors or font faces... It'll render, it's just ugly as sin.

Yeah, but the fact that it works in IE 3 is more coincidence than you making sure it works in IE 3, right? If you found out that it didn't render, would you care?
Out of curiousity, why doesn't it work in Netscape?

Since he already explained about Flare, I assume you mean Solareclipse? I believe it's because they never got around to having Netscape correctly support CSS...

I'm using Netscape 4.78 now, there are no problems whatsoever, the last "crash" I had was three months ago. And the site looks great, no graphic errors at all.

I hate to admit it, but I'm using Netscape 6.1 and everything looks fine so far. Maybe, I'm missing something, but the board looks better than ever. BTW It seems like italics are being rendered more smoothly when they are in a bit of plaintext. Sexy...
