IE7 stable meh?

This is IE8.

Looks a little like Firefox 3.

Domain Highlighting to quickly tell if it's a phished website. Noticed how the other parts of the URL are greyed out.

Emulate IE7 - no need for explanation. This is just for web designers and web developers. You can then test if a website will show correctly in both IE7 and IE8.

Safety Filter

Looks quite similar to the Phishing Filter, but no idea if it does more.

Clearing cache and temp files is different now, so is enabling and disabling addons.

IE8 mess up my phpmyadmin button. I tried to click the query button on the top left and it open a new window and i must login again.

Might be a zone difference that caused that. From IE7 onwards, any websites that open in a different safety zone, it will always cause problems. Try adding the website to IE8 Trusted Zone.

Users using IE8 will also need to be informed of that.

It is already in the Trusted Zone for IE8.

In IE7 previously, there was no problem. Didn’t even put the site into Trusted Zone.

I also noticed sgforums links “Home”, “Forums”, “Topics”, “Search” ended up on the right side.

http://news.bbc.co.uk also had some problems with displays.
Same goes for http://www.smh.com.au.

A quote comes to mind:

Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.
[I fear the Greeks (Microsoft) even when they bring gifts ( IE8 )].

I will try out the PHPMyAdmin in a moment.

No problems with sgF and smh.com.au for me. BBC news got display problems though.

Heh, anyone tried setting their home page? I can't seem to set my home page. And IE8 seems laggier than IE7 on my Vista. Maximize and restoring the size takes a few seconds, whereas for IE7 it's immediate.
