YOOiecheck Module

The YOOiecheck is a module for Joomla! which detects if a user is visiting your website using Internet Explorer 6. A small message will fade in which calls the user attention and informs him that his browser is outdated. This message can be edited through the module configuration. Also the message includes recommendation links to the download section of most modern browsers like Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer 7.

Exclusive YOOtools features:
* Very fast loading using gzip for JS and CSS files

And of course:
* Tableless CSS design and XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.0 valid
* Compatible with any browser (Firefox, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera, Camino)

Download requires a YOOtheme club membership.

Can be downloaded by anybody in the YOOtools Free Stuff Section!

Really great simple module to warn users they are using that stupid IE6.

Not annoying, simple & neat.
It's really satisfying to be able to tell them "update that damn browser!".
Anything that helps us get rid of IE6 faster is welcome, and deserves the 5 stars!

Good job YOOtheme, as usual.
I reckon that these chaps are rather good. They have released a very good tool. This module makes a very discrete and gentle pop-up that does not annoy.

Note To Developer: Can you please modify it so that we can alter the colour of the main text or the background? It appears to be picking it up from the template and the text appears very faint on my site with the default yellow background.

A very useful tool indeed

In our constant battle to use the latest and greatest, what holds us back is user adoption of technology. People get comfortable with what works and are not provided with incentives to upgrade. This tool serves as a gentle reminder when visiting your high-speed, low-drag site, that things might not look too pretty on your IE6 anymore (did it ever?)

I'm not a big fan of the huge half-page pop-ups telling you that that particular site looks better in FF. They're just gawdy. This one is nice and subtle. Two thumbs waaaaaay up!
