Hey guys and girls,   Since installing the new gallery software it has come to my knowledge that Microsoft Internet Explorer hates it and causes painful errors! I never use IE anymore (I use firefox and chrome now), as IE is slow as a wet dog. Thus, I did not realise there was an issue with Internet Explorer viewing the site until this morning, if you're using IE then you'll notice the forum is all screwed up, from what I can tell is there's a javascript conflict somewhere, even since disabling the gallery it only half resolved the problem. I've tested the site on other browsers, and all are working fine as normal, but Internet Explorer consistantly presents new problems.   I'm running some backups off the server and will disable all the modules that we use to run the site (approximately 60 different mods), so I'll go through them and re-enable them and test the site's structure through Internet Explorer until I discover what's triggering the fault.   Sorry for any inconvenience, it's not exactly what I had planned for this weekend, but I'll have to get onto this ASAP because approximately 76% of our users use IE browsers.   Feel free to leave feedback or ask any questions below, cheers everyone!  Steve

I've identified the issue with Internet Explorer, it appears that the new 'Quote' feature seems to break the forum template, I've also removed 'lightbox' from when you view full-size images and logging in by the 'Log in' button in the menu, this also triggered the same event. I have replaced these plugins with a 'thickbox' replacement.   I've re-enabled the new gallery and the template appears to be stable in Internet Explorer. Feel free to test on your end and let us know if you encounter any further troubles.   Sincerely Steve
