I don't have the time to count that right now, but I can try to do that tomorrow if you want. But here is something that I posted in April to the gimp-web list: For those who like statistics, I had another look at the stats for today. In the last 6 hours, there were 103 unique IP addresses using Netscape 4 and visiting www.gimp.org. I excluded the user-agents containing "MSIE", "compatible", "Opera" or some strings commonly used by agents faking their identity (such as those using only the string "Mozilla/4.0" without any other attributes). In the last two days, there were more than 300 unique visitors using Netscape 4. I hope that the number of Netscape 4 users has decreased since then, but it is likely that there are still more than a couple of them visiting www.gimp.org. I had a quick look at the logs without making a full analyzis and I only saw 15 unique IP addresses using Netscape 4 yesterday (excluding my own requests when I took the screenshots). But this seems to vary very much from day to day. > (BTW, is the site viewable in NS4 with CSS support turned off?) If you turn off CSS, the layout is still completely broken, but at least the images are not displayed on top of the menu. The menu itself is displayed in the middle of the page with all links side-by-side instead of being displayed in a column (a valign="top" and some <br/>s would solve that problem). So the pages looks strange and sometimes the column with the menu is wider than the contents of the page, but at least I did not see any image or text covering other useful parts of the page. -Raphaël
