As a developer I can't help but hate IE, it's not web standards compliant, though it's improved a bit on that, it's just so many legacy products and cowboys out there develop specifically for IE, and it doesn't work on anything else.


Plus firefox has the utterly invaluable firebug. If you're not going to use (the millions of really useful) firefox extensions then I don't see it has anything much over IE7.


If you browse the web a bit, do the forum, go to ebay and read the beeb then I don't see the problem with the more recent IEs. Is there anything compelling to go for it? Not really except if you're on 7 you'll suddenly find your OS has upgraded without telling you, so you'll have no choice, and that's a bit annoying.


Mind you Google are going the same way and now have this irritating installer thing that keeps trying to foist chrome on you when all you want is google earth.

Mind you Apple do the same frankly.


Safari's nice though and I loved Opera. Give em all a go I say.

Get Firefox.

I've been using it for years. I'm no geek.

The extensions are great.


(I spent Thursday in some corporate HQ with people struggling with a new version install of IE. Thing is with MS, they take a an interface that loads of people know, then throw it away and start again.)

Yep agreed. Stick with IE7 for now, until they bring out at least a couple of decent patches. I actually have never used Firefox but might give it a whirl.


Mockney - You know you can download the old GUI for Office 2007. I can't stand the ribbon menu's but found a natty little tool to convert it all back. And who said change was a good thing?

I really appreciate all the advice folks.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" seems to work for me so I shall refrain from uploading it for now.

I am not a techie and don't even understand what ICBM means.

TLA is just about the only TLA I understand. Let alone FLAs...

InterContinental Ballistic Missile - i'm not too sure why you want to get involved in any of that, pretty dangerous stuff.

    • Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.
    • What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.
    • I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

    • Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
