Anyone know if you can move the favourites button from the top right over to top left as it was in ie8?

I've looked everywhere, well, what I think is everywhere, and cannot see how to do it or if you can. ::b

I just put the menu bar back on.....

Right click here and enable Menu Bar

Then it looks like this, which I find more pleasing to the eye.....

Makes it a bit easier - plus you have the menu back, which I like.

Thanks for that, but too late! I since had a couple of sites that didn't run properly on ie9, so I have now gone back to ie8.

Everything working as I want it.

Have MS really thought ie9 through properly ::b

Hi Mole,

I mentioned this to UHM a little while back - he's checking with the website guy (hope he's remembered).

As a temp fix, whenever you visit the site do this:

- Browse to UHM forums
- Press F12 on your keyboard (this will bring up the webdev tool bar)
- Click here and change the Document Mode to IE8 Standards and pictures will load until you close it:

Hope that helps chap! :)

No worries, hoped you sussed it!

I realised after that my screenshot might not appear until you've fixed it, which obviously rendered it useless :hiding:

Can't understand why anyone still uses IE. :roll:

I actually defend IE, I think it's a good browser.

It's one of those arguments that will rage on forever more. It gets more attacks/exploits created because it's the market leader. If it was Firefox, I'm sure the attention would turn to that and everyone would think IE was the best again.

I like the fact it's pre-installed with the OS (I only use Windows, so I'm not bothered about x-platform operations) and that it renders 99% of the sites I visit without issue. It's got much quicker, the tools are there to manage "add-ins" and it's got the privacy features I demand to keep the porn sites hidden from the missis.

Regardless of preference, I always giggle at this fact: regardles of how much people HATE IE, refuse to acknowledge it's ability and generally belittle it in favour of browser X (always version 2.34.2.1.23.2.234.6 specifically) - when a website doesn't load, they ALWAYS ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLWAYS post "I can't get this site to load, even tried M$ IE and it won't go". It's the sheer and utter lack of faith in their chosen god that they HAVE to go and test dirty IE.

:D

IE is loathed BG as they TOTALLY ignore webstandards and have given IT pros no end of headaches over the years.
Its only when Firefox seriously started making inroads into their market share that they started making a half hearted effort to subscribe to webstandards.
IE still has a long way to go, especially in its ACID3 scores.

Oh and Firefox does get attacked but they do tend to patch quickly, unlike MS who wait until the next "Patch Tuesday" or later (some bugs have been known about for over 18 months and still unfixed as of yet)

Plus IE has encouraged sloppy web programming such as websites which claim to REQUIRE IE6, leaving many corporate users tearing their hair out and corporate machines vulnerable as so much software was written by contractors for IE6 rather than using proper webstandards and browser independent.

Frankly I wish IE had been taken out and shot years ago.
