While IE7 is full of bugs too, IE6 is useless stuff for sure!

Discontinuing support of IE6

All,

We are discontinuing support of Internet Explorer 6 shortly.

We'll be announcing the official cut-off date soon. After that date, the site will not be accessible for visitors using IE 6, who will see a welcome screen with links to download a latest-generation browser like Firefox 3+, Internet Explorer 7+, or Safari 3+.

Why are we doing this?

Internet Explorer 6 is seven years old, and its replacement, IE 7, has been available for almost two years. The newest generation of browsers, such as IE 7, Firefox 3, and Safari, provide a far superior internet experience and better security. Supporting the older IE 6 means that we can't take advantage of the latest technologies to optimize user experience and performance of our web apps. It also means that we develop new features and enhancements more slowly.

IE 6 represents a small minority of our visitors, and an even smaller minority of our customers, so we think it's worth asking people to upgrade (for free!) to a modern browser in return for being able to provide all of our customers with the best possible oDesk experience.

What do I need to do?
