Re: Internet Explorer 7 Thread

im sure this is a stretch, but is there a way to make all new tabs you open, open your homepage and not about:blank?

Doesn't it use the font that your visual style/theme uses?

quick suggestion for the tab newbies

control+w closes just the tab you're on

Great stuff here, also renamed the thread title to be flashier

I was reading over an e-mail I got from MS regarding the release yesterday and the potential release around Nov 1 "based on functionality, the date may change"

Wonder if we will get the same version that day or something slightly incremented?

Re: Internet Explorer 7 Thread

The one thing I really wish they would add is a spell checker .... Iespell isn't working the way it should, as far as the right click options ..

The latest version is 2.4.0.428 and what I had to do after installing IE 7 is go into IeSpell options > others tab > tick the box next to Show items in Internet Explorer's right click menu.

Re: Internet Explorer 7 Thread

anyway to get the favorites panel permanent

I can't seem to do it

[edit]never mind, got it...have to hit the pin buton

I actually really like how it auto-hides. Since you are Mr. "real-estate", I would have assumed you were the same way

Thanx, AZ. I already did that. The problem is that the right click options are grayed out. On this site anyhow, I find that I have to click the ieSpell button in the tool bar to check the spelling.

I also just noticed that there is spell check selection at the top right of the message window here. It would still be nice if the right click menu would work on here. Then not having to right click can turn out to be a good thing ..

Microsoft's IE 7 site no longer shows it as RC1. I assume it's officially available direct now?

This is just too funny, http://secunia.com/advisories/22477/

Less than 24 hours.

EDIT: It seems this is actually a carryover from IE6. I thought IE7 was a rewrite...

 

[kcnychief]

Not sure the 24 hours is a fair timeline, betas have been available for months now. Since it references IE 7.x, no real idea if it is RTM edition only.

Not surprised to be honest. All the script kiddies wanted to be the first one to find an exploit anyway.

But yeah, quite a blow to Microsoft.
