IE6 Users please test my site

load time is ok.
if your customers can't see it, it means you're not making sales, which means that you can't tell them to screw off.
i took a quick look in ie6, saw the issue, but it's going to take hours to track that one down. sorry.
if you want to test a site in ie6, just install virtualbox with xp and test from there.
 
Hmmm, perhaps its an IE issue then that the pages were timing out? If anyone gets a timeout, I'd appreciate if you could do a tracert. Thanks.

Was yours also timing out? What issue did you get?
 
Its maybe just helkom. I had lately a lot of issues with Int sites. But it seemed to be stable for last week. Like I said before, don't have any issues atm with other sites.

Apparently its a local routing issue that is the problem as 3. and 4. are timing out, and the first international trace is 8.
 
I wish I could open the site to see now, as it isn't opening. It's perfectly normal to have the first couple of routes to timeout. Do a traceroute to Google and you should get the same output.

This sounds like a cheap trick to get traffic on your website :D. Never the less I did go and check out you website I do not use Internet Explorer (MicroSUCK crap). Prices seems very reasonable. Expect a order from me in the NEAR future :p

Too expensive to host locally at the moment, plus no local servers have been able to successfully handle magento, and so I would have to get a hetzner dedicated server which is too expensive.
