When did the lotus disappear and the new logo appear in the url bar?

What does it mean?

    I noticed that, too. If you are in Internet Explorer, at least... I haven't checked this website in FF or Chrome or anything else...

    In the navigation bar, to the left of the URL, there used to be a lotus (as recent as two days ago... I haven't been here long. :lol:). Now, it's the boring "E" symbol. I miss the lotus... :confused:

    I still see it in IE8 and Firefox 3.5, and I've changed nothing on this site in over a month.

    I also have it in Firefox. No clue about IE or Chrome though.

    I still see the Lotus on my Macintosh, but it's replaced with something that looks like a cross on my Sony VAIO upstairs and the PCs where I tutor and take classes. All these computers use IE, apparently not the latest edition. I'm afraid to upgrade until I get the word from my school that it's time.

    Whazzup? Just a few days ago I saw lotuses everywhere. I miss 'em.

IE has a huge security hole that allows anyone with a slight amount of skill to gain access to your computer. This hole has been acknowledged by Microsoft and the only response given is they are working on it. It’s been over a year now from the best of my knowledge. And this “hole” cost me a reformate and hours of reinstalling. Firefox is the most secure. Plus you might get your pretty lotus back :).

    Thanks, Kenny, but IE is an absolute requirement for me when doing school work. A lot of the CDs the teachers hand out only run on IE. I use Safari on my Macintosh as Firefox just doesn't suit. I have no problems on Safari. I had to but a PC just to keep up.

    I'm really not sure what's going on, but I'm pretty sure the issue is on your end.

    I highly suggest upgrading to IE8. It is extremely unlikely your coursework would be negatively impacted, and highly likely the rest of your web-browsing experience will be improved :)

    What does your browser have to do with playing CDs?

    I think he's referring to web-type applications being distributed on discs, not music CDs. :)

    he would, Matt. I have a similar issue as most of the training CDs are IE compatible. I have to be able to use them in garrison, so I'm stuck with IE.
