Just an FYI,
If you install IE 8 and find the Pond 5 (or any other website) menus look out of place, turn on "compatiblity view" in the Tools menu.

Yes, it's really fast! I did chose to go back to firefox for the time being though. Chrome had some fit every now and then and started to write do disk like crazy:

...
We'll have a look at IE8. I assumed it worked as we set a strict doctype and try to have validated html/css. Apparently that's not enough then.. oh well
Best regards,

I was reading this about Google's EULA for using Chrome.
Simply put, if you post a video or photo using Chrome, Google can use it free of charge. I'm not saying I understand everything in here but, It's enough for me to not use it.

Ok, never mind. Seems those lines were taken out because of a backlash of compaints about copyright.
Still, I'll stick with MS.

I asked the guys we normally hire when we need extra hands to do html work, http://www.markup4u.com, and they explained that:
With IE6 you had to cut the head of chickens + do mystical dances to make it work. With IE7, it was enough with the dances. IE8 does not want to be reminded of its new age youth and behaves badly when it's mentioned so we made the PHP code skip all IE specifics when IE8 is detected. When you run IE8 in "compatibility mode", the site treats it as if it would have been IE7.
There seems to be some IE8 issue where sometimes not all icons are shown on the search results page which I'm going to send a TR to microsoft about, other than that, please tell us of any misbehavior.
Best regards,
Marcus
