NOTE: This is no longer required. This FAQ is here for reference purposes only Q: Everything is working fine but sometimes the (CSS) style sheet is not loaded in IE 6. All other browsers do not have this problem.
A: This Problem has been fixed in SP5. You can still read the cause of the problem below.
This happens when your host uses a HTTP compression technology that is incompatible with IE. This is a bug in IE 6, not a bug in our software or the HTTP compression software.
HTTP compression software vendors (a very short list):
However, only certain versions of the HTTP compression software listed above have problems with IE. To fix this problem (a very rare problem), you can either disable your compression software for your forum, or obtain an IE compatible version of the HTTP compression software from the vendor.
OR, you can use the workaround below: Add the following code at the top of forumcss.asp (right below the include):
Response.AddHeader " Compression-Control" ," no-compress"
Response.CacheControl = " Public"
Response.Expires = 320
