OmniWeb is good but the dimensions of all pop-up boxes are about 1/2 what they are defined to be, which is a pain.
Personally I don't have a problem with Explorer. I thought the only reason for rejecting it was if you were boycotting Microsoft.
I tried Opera and it is really weird with the forums. It's like it caches the first one you go to and then ignores the query string when you click on another, taking you back to the one you were just on.
A double mistake:
bot: I am always touched by your presence, dear
fanboy: How long have you been colorful by fanboy's presence?
Colorful???
It seems like you could get rid of "your"'s conversion altogether I can't think of any instance where it wouldn't translate to "my".

I guess I've never compared it to anything but Netscape. Speaking of which, there's a really funny link on the subject; go to www.vbthunder.com and click on the link that says "click here to see why this site appears poorly in Netscape Navigator".
I couldn't find the link Eugene. By the way, do you use Mac or PC with Explorer? I've never tried the forge on a PC.
I just went through the weird symptom in the forums with OmniWeb too. I read the 4 forums on the bottom starting with Seasons and then when I went up to the bug stomp forum, it reloaded Dogh'd's forum... Perhaps 'cause of the order I went through them or the fact that I posted a couple messages in the forum that "stuck". Anyways, loading the bug forum in a new window loaded the correct page (here I am).
Uhmm... I can't keep my mouth shut on this one, but I'll try to not let my exuberance show too much here...
I think it's good to somewhat boycott any company that tries to become "the only option". Each one of us has the responsibility to ensure that variety is predominant in these modern times. Variety is strength - Microsoft can only be the strongest *sometimes*, otherwise it'll become a weakness for all of us and eventually, even itself. 'nuff said.

Every company tries to dominate the market. It's called capitalism.
I use a Windows based computer; I've very little experience with Macs and can't make a comparison.
Did you find the website itself?

Hey Eugine, I found the link! Looks like Ben Baird is having a little trouble with HTML compliancy... His HTML coding doesn't respect any of w3c standards! He's saying he doesn't want to waste time making things compatible for "inferior quality" browsers, which he seems to define as anything that doesn't render the HTML codes Microsoft invented. The World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) was created specifically to avoid that the Internet be monopolized by a single entity who's main intent is to make profit. Here's a good page that quickly sums up their goals: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Points/ (Check out point #4)
My girlfriend and I have been designing web sites for over 5 years and every site we've ever built has been designed and tested with a Mac, a PC with Netscape and Explorer. (iCab and the rest of them aren't having any trouble respecting the w3c standards, although are having some problems controlling the flexibility of JavaScript, they are however getting more and more compatible as well). Call my bluff? Here's a site we built in '97 which hasn't been updated since and is still compatible with anything you through at it (http://www.3333graham.com). And if you're thinking that site is cute, but looks pretty basic, here's another one which is entirely database driven with a search tool, order processing and a hidden administration section where the "artist" can go and edit the content of his site (http://www.dwightbaird.com). Oh awright, they may not be completely bugless, but they're a little softer on the eyes at least! In my opinion, the lazy bunch over at VBThunder should open there minds to the world around them. I don't want to sound cocky, I'm only mentioning this 'cause I think Ben's arguments are what's making a mess of the web and I wouldn't want anyone to take what he's saying for granted.
Sounds like Explorer for Windows doesn't have that same JavaScript problem as on the Mac - 'cause you'd sure notice it!
You're right, every company does try and dominate the market, but do you think that's... a good thing?
