can't sign in using IE7.0 (Beta)

[rjcb23]

Just to let you know that the page used to sign in does not display properly in ie7 (in Beta currently, will be launched in nr future)

Rjcb23:

Aren't you telling the wrong people? The whole point of a beta release is that it gets trialled in the 'real world' and its users report back to the developers. If there are sites which don't display properly in IE7, then Microsoft should be told about it. (Or, better, just get a decent browser which, basically, means anything other than Internet Explorer).

Lets say IE7 is not so bad. Zeldman says so and I believe him ;-)

FWIW - Not the only thing that doesn't work in IE7.

It also "suspends" OE6 (on selecting OE, it comes up with a box telling you it's not on-line, you have to click to get OE to work)
and worse - I use a site which has audio monologue links - in IE6, clicking these invokes the mp3 player and plays the speech. In IE7 beta, the player loads, but not the file. (Workaround - right-click the link, download the "speech" (mp3 file) to Desktop, play from there, then delete it)

Summary - for me IE7 looks good, has some nice features but too many glitches. NOR can I report the problems - there's a hugely complex signing-in rigmarole (via NET passport - which I have, active) but even then, the message to MS errors, doesn't get through. NB - they only want feedback from North America!! (read the site)

The good news is that, unlike some disillusioned testers, when I uninstalled IE7, I got my IE6 back, in full working order!
Did a "housekeep" via Tune-up Utilities to get rid of 300+ invalid regisry entries, my system is back to its former pristine state. (WHEN will Microsoft include PROPER clean-ups in its Uninstall routines???)
