Andavari, do you think Maxthon is easer to configure than IE7, and is it more secure?
Also are you using the classic version, or the latest version?
I honestly couldn't tell you anything about IE7, my venture with was ultra brief.
Security-wise you're still using IE components so don't forget that, but at least the developers have some security fix they do until an official Microsoft patch is released. I was using the newest build of it - not the classic one, and since rebooting my modem fixed allot of crap I've went back to Firefox for now, although it's still acting strange on these forums.
Its so strange that people are having issues on the forum with only firefox. I have firefox on 4 different computers that I can check right now and its working fine on all of them.

Some people were having issues with Opera too. Their spell-checkers wern't acting properly and some pictures on the forum weren't showing up for them. I just installed Firefox 2.0.0.6 and everything is working good so far.

I may do a completely fresh install and just import my bookmarks from a backup if the next Firefox update doesn't fix the problems. Although I liked Maxthon I quickly realized that IE-based browsers are much slower than Firefox and even Opera, it's like they take their sweet time figuring out what exactly to do with the JavaScript that's in most websites.

It isn't just this forum. I think it's the IPB forum software because now even Hydrogenaudio.org is acting funky with Firefox, i.e.; posts not going through or when attempting to post Firefox just times-out.
Edit:
That could explain why some sites have switched forum software in the past year or two.
