From Chris Wilson's Twitter...

"IE team expect zone chat cancelled for today - chat tool broken. :( Will reschedule."

Radeldudel: Starting IE InPrivate with Addons disabled (-private -extoff) gets you part of the way there, but not fully there.

You could temporarily slide the zone slider on the Internet Zone up to HIGH if you want to disable more content in the browsing session. Of course, disabling script will cause many websites not to work.

Is there some technical issue with the chat today? We're all logged in, but there is no action yet (10min in)

Possible to have different security settings for InPrivate than for the rest of internet?

I think InPrivate browsing is great, but I'd love to be able to change the internet security settings for InPrivate sessions without affecting my normal browsing experience.

For example I'd like to disable addons, gif animations, scripts and other active content for InPrivate browsing, is this possible?

There is one annoying bug that is still present in RC1:

When you drop down the favorites from the menu bar and you click "Sort by name" on any folder in your favorites, the favorites menu disappears and you have pull it down again to continue. In IE7, the sorting was done but you were not thrown out the favorites. I'd love to see this fixed in the final version.

Regards, Matthias

@Konstantin: Thanks for the additional info! Does your login username contain any non-ASCII characters?

Oliver,

That could be the answer! All PCs where I can see the problem have Russian locale installed. I do not have it installed on one laptop at work, and I do not see the problem there! Now I'm getting a clue why I see it all over the place, but nobody else can see it!

Thank you very much!

I hope, Internet Explorer team read this blog, install Russian locale on their test PC, and open pages I mentioned above. I hope, they will be able to reproduce the problem and fix it.

@Konstantin : I've just tested gain on another computer with XP SP3 IE7 and I still can't reproduce your problem.

I code websites in PHP or Java and I had a lot of invalid html but I've never seen anything like that.

I've no idea if it can be related to your problem, but which language is your OS ?

I've tested on English and French versions (and also one XP with MUI).

Let me clarify the end of my last message - I mean, I saw the View Source problem very often when I was working on server-side libraries, where HTML code and client-side JavaScript was often messed up and some debuggind or error messages was printed in the random places of HTML document, or there was an error in the middle of a document, and error message and no closing tags.

just an update for @sonicdoommario, the raw chat transcript was found and delivered to Allison - so hopefully it will be available to you/everyone soon.
