Block ALL IE versions Details »
|
|||||||||
This is a simple plugin that blocks all IE versions from viewing your website. I know some people will be crying foul, given that Internet Explorer 8 has taken steps toward web standards; however, it is far behind in both function and stability. In the same time that Opera, Gecko, and Webkit have been moving toward CSS3 functioning and XHTML 2.0 functioning, IE8 has been achieving well established CSS 2.1 functionality.
This plugin is for the most radical IE haters, it will do a simple match with the user agent string and block any trident engine based browser (msie). It will show a page recommending a different browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome), picture below. The difference between this mod: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=208958 And mine is that there is NO html of your page served to the IE user. PHP deals out the notice before anything else is loaded. Installation instructions are simple, upload the product xml file and enjoy!

You'd have to be mad to stop IE users accessing your forums..

 But yes, this modification is not for the faint of heart. I figured since there wasn't anything like this that I might as well release it for the sake of releasing it. No members have liked this post.

Mad or not, if people want to block IE from their sites it is a choice they can make. More choice is better than less.
Nice mod. Ill never use it but it is still a good thing to have available.

I can't imagine a more moronic add-on. The majority of people on the net are still using some version of IE, like it or not.

Most people will not use this, but a couple might find it interesting. I don't plan on getting more than say, ten installs total (if that), I just figured it would be good to release something like this for those who have no ability to work with php and may want it. No members have liked this post.

I would like the mod, if it allowed individual versions to be blocked. Say anything under IE7. I don't mind supporting IE7 (do it daily in my job), but IE6 and earlier are horrors which should be banned from the web.

Install this if you hate your own site and want to diminish traffic!

awesome hack. I design skins and it's always IE that causes the problems as it doesn't render anything right. You'd think Microsoft could build a decent browser by now. Especially when you get free products out there that are much better.
However like others say, look at the traffic your blocking

Blaming any browser for your coding errors is puerile.

You are all right we do have to work with IE it is still over 90% of traffic, but this mod still makes me chuckle, it is something we all would have wanted to do at one time or another, it is a bit like wanting to send your mother in law to the North Pole for a VERY long time LOL!!!
