Any reason why IP.Converge is IONencoded? (or whatever it was called, I'm drawing a blank)

2005. We're in 2011.

IE7? Well now, considering IE8 and IE9 are pretty much going mainstream...

According to w3schools, IE7 is used by ~5% of people today.

I do believe your "issue" is irrelevant to today's standards, which also include CSS 2.1 finally being standardized. Though browsers now (IE9, Firefox 4.0+, Chrome, Opera) all support CSS 3.0 which has support for border-radius.

And mostly 70% of people have an old PC? Doubtful, considering 88% (per NetMarketShare) of people today are using Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. Over 80% according to w3schools.

I have a 6 year old computer that started with Windows XP and is currently running Windows 7. No problem with rounded corners. I also have a computer going on 11 years old, that ran Windows Me (an 800MHz AMD Athlon processor and 768MB RAM) and currently runs Windows Server 2003. No problems at all with rounded corners there either.

Shared hosting has nothing to do with rounded corners on things either.


I'm sorry but invisiblex, none of your points are valid.

Checkmate anyone?

No.

Rounded corners are done by CSS. What browsers does this supposedly crash and do you have any proof to back up these statements?

Personally I like the rounded tabs for the Forums, etc. at the top.

Not sure about the darker sidebar. I mean, it's something I'd have to see and work with to get a feel for.

I agree that a choice would be nice. Personally I'm rather glad to see they're gone. Most forums I visit have animated avatars as forbidden. You go for the content, not for some flashing animated distraction off to the side.
