I believe this is vbulletin... you can have different schemes for different areas I think... if not, it is probably a hack.

What do you want to apply it to exactly? Need to know that before finding the answer

GaryK

Well Im using mozilla and dont notice anything, if its a fade effect its more than likely to be DHTML.

I'm using Mozilla right now, and when you click the log out button the window refers to a javascript application.

This mozilla really is dire. I can recomment MYIE2 if anyone wants a good browser

stevencotton

It is indeed DHTML, JavaScript to be exact. I'm not quite sure what a "hack" is. It's in the source of each page you view on SN It looks like it will only work on Microsoft platforms.

Soulgirl

Hacks are what you can incorporate into message boards to do different things like change colours, add birthday things etc etc... they are over and above the normal workings of the forums and usually written by 3rd parties.

really soulgirl? I think its pretty damn good actually some sites it wont work with but I use it for 95% of my browsing and think its as good as IE performance wise, in fact it runs better than IE6 which I dont think is very impressive, too feature laden like most M$ software.

Soulgirl

Gary, give MYIE2 a try.. if you like Mozilla you will love that one. On the odd occasion it does crash, it remembers your last open pages and takes you straight back there

GaryK

Hey SG looks good, I like the compactness of it, bloated software is a real bug bear of mine, and a tidy little lite version for under 1 meg too, now if only there was an OS X version.....

stevencotton

There won't be an OS X version because MyIE2 runs on top of Internet Explorer. That's why it's a small download, it's using the IE core to do the actual work, and may well contain all the flaws that go with it.

GaryK

Nice one steven, so its complete friggin bollocks! I didnt notice that thought it was fairly impressive (but not unrealistic) for < 1 featured web browser. Hmmm so we have a buggy add-on to a flawed product! a great combination

[soulgirl opens door and pokes head in]

That's interesting Steve, why would anyone bother developing what is basically an elaborate skin and calling it a browser? What is the point of it all then? Not questions for you of course, but one's I would like answering all the same.

Soulgirl

PS... I don't use it because I don't like MS - it's purely because I like the tabbed view

GaryK

hey SG you need mozilla!

stevencotton

I suppose the point is it adds a lot more features to a standard IE. They say on their own site it uses the IE core.

Soulgirl

LOL - full circle

As usual, I haven't read the FAQ
