We’ve been telling you for a while to upgrade your browser. We’ve been telling your members too. With the impending release of Internet Explorer 8 right around the corner (probably released by year’s end) Sitepoint asks is it time to pull the plug on IE6?

Tomorrow, Internet Explorer 6 turns 7 years old. That’s a long long time in the ever changing technology field. As Web Developers, we spend an awful lot of time making things work in IE6 that work as expected in IE7 and Firefox.

Our current stance for new development is to make the site function in IE6, but its not going to look exactly the same in all browsers. Its just not worth the effort anymore. But the question still stands, how much effort should be made to support IE6? Is it going to take the pain of sites not working in IE6 to finally get end users to upgrade?
