deviantART isn't supposed to work "fine" with Internet Explorer.

In fact, read this: http://about.deviantart.com/browsers/

Notes: deviantART recommends against using this software.

Did you read it all... the only IE version that has known issues is IE 5.0 and a lousy hover button... oooh and the ever popular PNG display issue. Whatever.

The recommendation against using it is for the normal security issues that the browser is known to have, not funtionality with their site.

Try browsing the site with Safari... all kinds of issues there. Mostly undocumented, but that's for a different topic of discussion.

Fully patched IE6 works perfectly with deviantART.

I doubt you've read the Notes. Anyway do you know what the 5.0+ stands for? Well let me clear this up; it stands for 5.0 and up versions.

And here's thery opinion about it:

Notes: deviantART recommends against using this software for your day to day browsing, given its track record with security, and Microsoft's poor response times to security threats against the browser. To ensure the online safety of our deviants, we advise upgrading to Mozilla Firefox (free), Mozilla (free), or Opera (shareware, or free with banner ads). Each is as easy to remove as install, so you can safely try them out, if you're unsure.

Known Issues: Select All etc. buttons' hover effects are missing. Comments may not line up correctly in IE 5.0. PNG images with alpha transparency will have grey backgrounds in IE 5.0.

Yes... I can read.. you obviously skimmed it and took it out of context.

The referenced hover button issue is common to IE 5.0 and was corrected in IE 5.5.

The PNG issue still remains in IE 6 but is already fixed in the current alpha of IE 7.

LOL! IE 7? Long time from now...

Anyway this is not about two simple issues, this is about the lack of standards supported by IE and if you ever tryied to build a website (w/o FrontPage), a real one, using CSS/CSS2, you'll know what I'm talking about.

And this thread is not about browser wars -- I was just pointing out a deviantART recommandation.
