This post is long overdue;

Internet Explorer 6 has given us hell and we know that we are not alone. There has been so much furore over IE6 that Microsoft had to explain their position on it. Nevertheless, there is a sizable 12.1% of internet users that still used IE6 in September, 2009.

So where does that leave us? Remindo is heavy on browsers and there is really no way for us to support something as antiquated as IE6. Thankfully, Google gave us some hope with Chrome Frame.

The way it works right now is that users will need to install the plugin and add a cf: in front of URL’s in the addressbar.

So if you are running IE6 and have chrome frame installed, you need to enter a URL like this:

cf:https://www.remindo.com.

This will make Remindo load within the chrome frame and bypass most restrictions that web developers hate about IE6.

Also, if you are feeling especially savvy, here’s a detailed guide by Google that talks about registry changes that you can do to load pages through chrome frame by default – and fix IE6 for good.

Of course, Chrome Frame right now is just a developers’ baby but we really, really hope that it catches on with the masses to solve the world’s IE6 problem!
