I tred firefox a couple times, and I had problems trying to configure the dam thing...it has so many plug-ins, 1/2 of them aren't even compatible with the latest version, it doesn't show all the web content because the filters and plug-ins don't support different things, such as i see my username in red with ie, but with ff it's just plain text. I paid 10k points for that custom name, and ff can't even display it.
I learned to hate that browser, and I have been using ie so long, it's simple to configure and i see the web the way it's supposed to be, with all updated sun java and flash player scripting programs. i have xp on another drive with ie7, and i have no problems. So why not use it?
It just boils down to user choice. I choose ie8, other people like firefox, others use google chrome, or opera. Whatever. As long as you're careful and know what you're doing, it's safe enough. I don't click on ****** links, go ****o browsing and am pretty routine in my browsing habits.
Besides, ie8 on the rc was awesome. Much better than the final version. But I'm sure MS will update this to be as good as the rc version via updates. Remeber vista ****** big time until they fixed it with all the service packs and updates.Comment

Yeah, i have been a member of quite a few forums, mostly computer related, and when i found this, i was like wow! I have never seen such a feature rich site with so many options that BS has. The bank, the points system, the rep (green or red k) system, (which used to be very different), it's very customize-able, you get to meet people from all over the world, it has a chat room, but they shrunk it now and it's really stripped down from what it used to be.
I seen a couple other boxing sites but didn't like 'em much. Plus, this site allows for freedom of speech like I've never seen on a forum. i wasn't aware you could argue and really get into it with other people...lol.
i was so used to the pc forums, where you had to really mind your manners or get banned w/o warning. You're told in the TOS (terms of service) not to flame, troll, be a good boy and eat all your veggies....lol. Here, we're allowed to have at it. read the TOS here, it says they don't wanna be bothered all the time by petty squabbles, to settle your own ****.
The freedom of speech makes this place interesting, sometimes a bit nasty, sometimes a lot of fun. but at least it's freedom of speech. A rare thing in forums. Oh, and the gifts, did i mention the gifts? Where else can you buy your friends (or foes...lol) gifts?
You can set up your page the way you want it, create a bet blog (i got one obviously), and other cool ****. The only thing it lacks is a spell checker. I can spell very well, but i tend to type to fast, and i have to go back and correct my typo's or look like a dumbazz...lol. Oh, well, you can't have everything.Last edited by jazluvr; 11-04-2009, 06:31 PM.Comment

BoxingScene is the best Boxing website, by far. It's not because I've been posting here for years, it's WHY I've been posting here for years that I say that.Comment

One of the main reasons I use Firefox is thanks to the ad block plus plugin. There is nothing out there free or commercial that beats this baby.
I was a huge Opera fan and I thought I would never get off it but now I am using Win 7 and there is no real need for a firewall which is what was control the ads in XP, that being outpost firewall with adblock, so I tried firefox with ad block plus and I was damn, I am sold like gold. Of course I still have all the major popular web browsers installed and the one that give every coder the most trouble is IE, IE fails in so many ways, it's trully a coders worst nightmare.

I know, i belong to a small clan of friends from a now defunct forum that has stuck together, including the forum admin, and these guys are really good with pc related stuff, and almost all of them use FF. I don't disagree with you, but i just like ei8 better. i just set the security settings and go. A lot of stuff isn't compatible like a said in FF and you miss out on some web content because the filters are too strong.One of the main reasons I use Firefox is thanks to the ad block plus plugin.

I've even just recently had a good friend of mine on this site make me a slimmed down ready to go version of ff with adblock, and i still can't see my dam username in red, and the caption in blue in FF. I figure if I'm missing that, what else is not showing up? I'd rather invest a bit in good security software and just be careful, than to not see everything on the web.
I have no problems at this time, so I'm happy. I think people who like ff really look down at ie..i really don't care, as long as it works. And it does. It's fast, reliable (now) but remember, win 7 just came out, so there will be issues to straighten out.
If it makes more work for programmers, i don't see how, i would think they would have more work in gett FF to show content i can see in ie but not in FF. But hey, americans need more jobs, so ie will put them to work, and that's a good thing, right..gatcha! j/k/.
But we're geting a bit off the topic of the site...which is awsome. I just had to find a way to get my brower to be safe with this site and i did. No problems. No more redirects, i see everything, and with windows live i CAN install a spellchecker, just like FF. If it works don't fix it.Comment
