IE7-Changes.

Thank you very much for your informative answer,John.I don't like the looks of the NEW IE7 page.And,like I said,if a user of IE6 is satisfied with it,why change?Would it be a good idea to download it,see if it is more user-friendly than it looks,and if not,just uninstall and switch back?Also,if someone would change back to IE6,would they lose out on the NEW security promised with IE7 or can you utilize the security seperately?Thanks in advance for any helpful answers.The mods of this forum are always so accesible and helpful.Thanks,Chucker.

Your homepage, favorites, etc would remain intact through the upgrade to IE7 and subsequent downgrade but you would lose the new security features of IE7, which are built into the browser. I'd give it a shot, though...the interface has grown on me since Beta 1 was released, though I still prefer the customization options of Firefox.

Let us know what you think in the feedback thread.

Well,I just installed IE7 and to answer my own previous question in this thread:My Search(google bar) Bar with my 50 or so individual choices I had made in that particular bar-The Whole Bar Stays Put upon installing IE7.That was my worst fear(not being able to click on several daily sites I had entered in my own search bar).The whole bar remained(second of three bars).Now I just have to get used to the new icons with their diff. uses.That should'nt be too hard.The pages DO scroll a bit slower,but for now,I'm going to try and get used to it.It's not really that bad.!!Should this action(download on my own,stop my system from updating and trying to install again without recognizing it's already installed)??Thanks,Chucker111.

Also noticed that when I try to use the BACK button to go back to previous thread on CNET,it won't allow it.Have to go to Forums beginning,to profile,to my posts,to get back where I was.Hope this can be worked out. Lot of extra work.Chucker111.

It's an issue with IE7 compounded when you use the Cnet forums. I maintain that IE7 is still not ready for prime time and hope they fix that, and some other bugs, before they roll it out as an automatic update.

Now that you've installed IE7 voluntarily it will not be downloaded/installed via Automatic Updates or Windows Updates. It will, however, check to make sure you are up-to-date and offer updates as they are released.

Thank you so much for the info.,John.Once again,I say the Mods on this site are very accessible and helpful.!!Thanks,Chucker111.

I copied and pasted the preceding threads in the forum about likes and dislikes of IE7.Hope it helps someone.!!,Chucker111.

I've got another question,because of IE7 indirectly.I never utilized an RSS Feeder before the new IE7.But,now that I have it installed,I may as well go for it.Is there a particular site to go to ;to receive RSS Feeds?Thanks.Chucker.

You'll find sites here and there that list their favorite RSS feeds, but for the most part you just have to go to your favorite sites and see if they have RSS feeds available.

In IE7 you'll see a square icon with what looks like a radio signal in it under the Search toolbar. If/when that turns orange it means the site you are viewing has RSS feeds available, right clicking the arrow to the right of it will let you see which ones. Just click on the one you want and then click the "Subscribe to this feed" link in the yellow box of the page that appears.

Cnet, CNN, Fox News, and hundreds of other global sites have feeds available. Have fun aggregating.

Thanks again,John.I'm trying to navigate my way through certain things and I really appreciate your help.!! I may ask more questions,hope you don't mind helping in the near future as I come upon other questions.Thanks,Chucker.
