PC and firefox.  Ignore button displays properly.

Ignore button shows up funny on internet explorer 7 (but then so do a lot of things)  I gave up with internet explorer 8 because almost nothing worked.  

I get shouted at frequently by our IT engineer for using firefox at work.  Goodness knows why.

I have mac/safari and get the blue question mark.  I pressed it a couple of times in the pat when I first noticed it but there are no names in my "ignoree" box.

Windows XP or Vista - Chrome, ignore no-one, however I do not display avatars and signatures (cleans up the pages a lot ) ignore button shows up as "broken image" for me.
Windows Security Essentials for anti-virus, it's free and the overhead is not bad - easy updates, I supplement it with Super Anti-Spyware periodically and Process Explorer to check if something unwanted is running.
Tried Ubuntu/Mozilla on an old PC - worked OK, but  too much hassle to learn a second OS and keep it updated and trimmed down.

PC with Firefox or Explorer.  'Ignore' changes to 'Unignore' if I left click it (on Explorer, haven't tried with Firefox).  So it appears to work correctly (but it alway has  box with a red 'x' in it to the left of ignore/unignore so it looks broken).

I use XP and 7 at home with Firefox as my primary browser.

At work we use XP with Firefox.

I don't use the ignore button.

We have two PC laptops running Vista  :yak: at home.  I will soon be purchasing a Mac for recording purposes and I'll more than likelyupgrade to windows 7 on both the laptops as Vista is absolutely terrible!

That is what I thought might of happened to other users. I did the same thing wondering what the mystery blue question mark was and then forgot about it. It wasn't until today that I checked the ignoree box (because of another topic bluesman1 posted) and found I was ignoring somebody by accident  :arrow

MAC since 1990. Using Firefox browser. Never owned a PC and never will.
