:rofl1: I belong to a couple of Harley Davidson Repair forums. 1 is Harley Tech Talk. The other is OFOPOS. I help out other Bikers when they are stuck on a repair problem,pretty much like Smokey does here with computers. I regulary log into MSN and check my Hotmail account for new messages. I have recently added 2 new browsers to my O/S. 1 is Opera 9.5. The other is Epiphany. When I log in using Firefox no problem. When logging in to email account MSN with OPERA or EPIPHANY, MSN gives me a window saying I should update my browser to Firefox or IE. I ignore the advice and in my email account window MSN then tells me it is using an older version of Hotmail and that I may be able to see all the latest features. Just to clarify my Hotmail account works fine with OPERA and EPIPHANY and I have no problems posting and answering threads in those forums. I also can download images as well. I see no difference in my Hotmail account either. My browsers are the latest and greatest Linux has to offer. I think its funny that MSN thinks I'm that gulible to follow their advice. Just did a Spybot search and Destroy scan on an old IBM 390 running Windows XP and found 5 entries after scan. Guess I won't be upgrading to IE any time soon. :rofl1:

Change the browser agent, fake the site into thinking your FF. EPIPHANY should be able to do that, fast browser, isn't it. Look here http://www.gnome.org...jects/epiphany/

Superfast browser , yes. Its easier to ignore the warning and it makes me smile now when I see it. Went to the link and I only saw features of the browser, nothing about camofluaging the browser. You know, I liked the Firefox 2.0 version better than the 3.0 version. Firefox 2 does everything 3 does, only in a different wrapper. Opera can be zippy to once it gets chugging, Kinda like a diesel truck.
