    Great plug in! I’ve been looking for this one because iE6 sucks..

    .. but is there any way to make the warning centered on the page? It’s on the top part right now..

    Sorry to be a grammar nazi here and I’m not sure what the text is in the actual release version… but in the screenshot, you’re using “your” where you should be using “you’re.” Just thought you might like to know in case that’s the default text.

      Get a life mate, not everyones “default” language is english. Not everyone can speak it as perfect has the americans do lmao.

    this is stupid.. that’s not how tthings should work or how proper designers do their work. you don’t block a browser, a good website should support even the oldest of browsers..if you feel a page is incompatible with certain browser, then provide a link to redirect them to a text-only page or a less rich-content page…that’s the proper way, what makes ie6 worse that opera 7 or firefox 1 or phoenix early versions..all of those browsers support same js and css, if your site does not provide for ie6 then you might as well blockout all the rest of the older versions of browsers but blocking a specific browser proves you are all goats following a dumb hype without using your brains and thinking for yourselves..

    Hi nice plug in and just what I was desperately searching for, nearly all the dodgy visitors seem to use IE6 so I really needed some way to block them.

    Works ok on WP 2.9.2 no problems seen so far.

    If I could ask for some thing extra? I would ask for the options to block IE7 as well and any windows os less than XP sv3, does that seem harsh? when I look at my stats the dodgy visits and attacks come from 98/IE6 or XP sv1/IE6

    • Viv says:

      Ha! how do you tell if its working? very simple, until yesterday the dodgy people visited with IE6 today they started showing up using IE5 and some reported as running NT 4.0
