Re: Different features and appearances for different browsers?

So on Firefox, if I enable Javascript, Mark Forums Read and Open Buddy List appear under quick links as a dropdown menu. If I disable Javascript, clicking that same quick links option reloads the page, changing the top bar to have Mark Forums Read and Open Buddy List (so, basically, it looks like Chrome).
As for the threaded view, that's normally in Display Modes under Firefox (same behavior - if Javascript is enabled, click it once and it appears as a dropdown menu; if JS is disabled, the page reloads with it displayed at the bottom of the page like it is by default in Chrome).

As for the rich-text editor, it looks like even if you have the "Enhanced" WYSIWYG editor, you'll only get the "Standard" editor. (Of course, I personally just recommend using the "Basic" text box or maybe the "Standard" one. Never the "Enhanced" editor; WYSIWYG editors are the bane of society!!!)

My guess is that this version of vBulletin is quite old (the 3.6 branch was back in the 2006 days), they check the user agent string and don't know what WebKit and/or Chrome are (weird, because WebKit's been here for a while), so the software essentialy goes "Whoa! I don't know what this browser is! I'll assume it's stupid and doesn't know how to handle all this Javascript!" and gives a dumbed-down version of the page. I don't really think there'd be a fix for this other than to change the user agent string.
Or to complain to a programmer =P

I could just be spouting nonsense here. I mean, inline quick-edit still works as expected in Chrome. Hmm...
