Given that it > can even be made to work with CSS turned off? :-) Doh! <slaps forehead> I'm really stupid! I said that I had a "quick look" at the logs and I found only 15 unique IP addresses. But I was wrong. I missed 211 of them, bringing the total to 226. That makes a difference... Yesterday, I ran grep on the access log, then a grep -v for the strings containing "MSIE", "compatible" and other stuff in order to exclude the browsers (and some robots) claiming to be NS4 but that were not really NS4. Unfortunately, I made a big, stupid mistake: instead of doing a grep for "Mozilla/4", I did a grep for "Mozilla/4.0". In other words, I only counted the requests using version 4.0, but not any other 4.x version. Oops! That's what I get for doing something quickly before going home without thinking too much about it. :-( I just re-counted now: the current access log for the last 18 hours contains 140 unique IP addresses using NS4.x (not 4.0, doh!). For the day before, 226. For Monday, 152. To get an overview of the last week (excluding yesterday, which may be biased), I merged the logs from the 10th to the 16th of June and found 1084 unique IP addresses using NS4.x. -Raphaël
