Spam in dahsboard??
-
I have problems with the latest Firefox browser so I switched back to IE 9. For Vista, that’s the most recent IE browser I can haz. Now everytime I open a WP Dashboard, a message field (not a pop-up!) screams at me in red hot that I use an outdated, unsafe IE browser. I can ignore it of course, but I just wonder why this comes up. Vista isn’t THAT prehistoric. Or is this sort of an integrated Windows ad?
-
That definitely shouldn’t appear for IE 9, unless you haven’t updated it recently. Check Windows Update just to be sure.
-
I get updates for Vista regularly and succesfully, I don’t see any specific ‘IE 9 update’, so I assume the browser updates are included.
IE 9 works well by the way. Better than the last two versions of Firefox I had.
The real problem is, I guess, that the warning appears only in WP Dashboard, and nowhere else on the net…
Shall I inform headquarters? -
I just found out that IE 9 has a successor; IE 10, but I cannot download that one, it only works in Windows 7. Makes the warning certainly odd, don’t you think?
Could this be something malignent? -
IE 10 isn’t officially released yet, so that shouldn’t make a difference. We’ll see what we can do about getting the browser notice to be more accurate.
For now, you’ll have to click the Dismiss link.

O, wait… ‘Dismiss’, I didn’t see that.
I clicked it, it disappeared, and when I open the dashboards of my other 4 weblogs, I see that the notice has gone there too.Well, that solves it. Thanks, macmanx.
