Stanislaw Lem rawks. So does Andrei Tarkovsky. Stephen Soderbergh can sometimes rawk and he holds his own camera so that's ballsy, but I'm still more than a little concerned given the history of American 'reimaginings.'
So, the shiny new Flare renders just fine on my Mac running OS 9.2.2 and Netscape 6.2.1. It freaks out a little when people post gigantic images, but then it did that before. I suspect that OSX's Aqua is just jealous of those fey colors and smooth dropshadows.

If NS4 is such a 'taboo' program - why is it still being offered at netscape.com to download? I don't have a wizz-bang computer and something like a message board you'd think would be a simple thing to use.
I like the idea of a bare-bones version so we (the few) can still participate in discussion.
ALSO, why does everything have to be Microsoft centered? I'm not an anti-microsoft zealot, but when It comes to browsers I've always been a little pissed off at Microsoft.
So Opera is a good browser? Does it have a mail prog with it - I have two accounts one takes the Eudora program, the other uses Netscape as it's mailbox.
Oh and this:
(just realised I can't use UBB on IE3)

Ummm, really? Well thanks for the WARNING.

What OS does 99% of the world run? Windows. What browser do over 90% of the people here use? Explorer.
Of course there's going to be a bias to making sure this place, first and foremost, runs on Windows platforms and on Explorer. Because that's what nearly everyone uses. Netscape lost the browser war, pure and simple. Why is a whole other mess of reasons.
And you still haven't said why you can't install a newer version of IE on your system. Does it crash it? Does it slow it down? People might be able to help if you gave them more information.

You could still use them for your mail, even if you download Opera. Or you could use Outlook Express *ducks*

Would it have done much good? It was only 1.5% of the total requests here, so I can't imagine it was high on Chuckie's list of things to make sure work. Unless he tested it on AMosiac to make sure it works on my Amiga as well.
Go on, download Opera. If you like it, fine. If you don't, also fine. But you've got nothing to lose.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

No warning was given because I didn't think that anyone here still bothered using NS4. It's been surpassed in every way by all the other various browsers - IE, Mozilla, Opera, you name it.
You're probably one of the three NS4 users here - I'm sorry, but no matter how bad your computer is, there ARE alternatives out there, and if you want to continue browsing here, then you need to either turn CSS off (I gave directions above) or switch to another browser.

Opera does have a mail program - I have not used it of late but as I recall it works pretty much like all the others.
Their (Opera's) thing is making a browser that works on less than cutting edge machines so I think you'll be pleased by it.
So, Charles - what is the deal with these boards? I mean, how does the server, bandwidth, etc. get paid for? I don't want to become an accessory to anything but I've posted/lurked here for quite awhile and have wondered who's footing the bill (and why).
