what is the link to that forum or web site.
It seems they may have something that blocks IE and firefox.

And that would not be smart to do, it's a good way not to gain members because most people are set in their ways for the browsers they use ..

Post the link and i will have a look, it may just be something they added to try to get people to update,

Oh plus Mozilla is firefox, so not sure why they have that in the list either?

Hi! So, it's possible using javascript calling to if, it seems to be like:

Code:: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function detectBrowser() { var browser=navigator.appName; var b_version=navigator.appVersion; var version=parseFloat(b_version); if ((browser=="Netscape"||browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (version>=4)) { alert("YOUR MESSAGE HERE!"); } } </script> </head> <body onload="detectBrowser()"> </body> </html>

A little information:
Netscape = Netscape browser;
Microsoft Internet Explorer = IE browser;
|| = or;
&& = and;
>= = more or equal.

yeah i dont know what they are doing but seems a bit silly to me... lol
Like i had a message pop-up, then closed it out and was right on the site with no problems.
with this link.
http://lordslegends.forumotion.net/

and this link is only a html page, so i guess they plan on making it the home page or something?

if you add forum to the end of the link like i did then you are right on the board.

It seems rather silly to me to try to block or not allow firefox or IE users.
It's a good way not to gain members or chase members away that may have already been there before this was put in place.

So i dont know, people add crazy unnecessary things sometimes i guess... lol
