Little Niggle, does anyome have any suggestions/advice

When I move from sites my favourites tp the Favourites Bar on a few it will not associate the correct icon with the appropriate website. For example I have Ebay (which is correct) but when I add BBC Football the BBC Icon changes to Ebay but still shows correct BBC website. I have deleted/moved it numerous times and on every occassion the BBC chngrs to Ebay :-(

When going to the address bar click and drag the web page's icon down to the Favorites bar. Then right click on it to abbreviate. Any page pinned to bar will be long at first.

The Favorites bar replaces the old "links" you used to pull out across IE as a bar and works the same as seen with the Personal bars on other browsers.

Nope that still doesn't do it. As soon as I drag BBC Football and relese mouse click the Icon changes to Ebay (but has correct BBC Website)

This happens only for BBC sites, mine is vista but the behaviour seems to be the same.

Is it stable one and can we have IE8 too at the same time ?

Try it yourself and see how you go.

try ie9 64-bit with this selection of on-line magazines:
Issuu - Publications

- could it be a Square BETA issue (??)

Seemed to be working fine for me.

Chrome is constantly in beta.....

At least with the beta release of IE ( and a little effort you still see a fully functional browser not "half of something" still in Limbo!

Let's face it Google hasn't any real ideas on how to make an OS even let alone a browser for it! Just the initial look at it was all it took to say no thanks!

So far the beta has been running as if it was already a finished browser without any hangups seen with it. I think MS, starting with 7, is now being a little more cautious when first going to release any beta versions for things since the beta for IE 7 would have already crashed by now if that was the version just being seen.

For IE 9 was well as for W7 more testing seems to be the rule rather then a rush to slap a beta up for grab as had been seen previously. That works out for everyone better in the long run.

You might want to try it for more than a look.
Give it a few days, you might like it.
There is more than a slight resemblance between Chrome and the new IE9b
Don't knock it until you've tried it.

It's a good browser, I've been using it since it first came out. It's a much more polished browser than IE9b is, although I think this beta will get improved with time. And I am using the IE9 beta, it does have a few quirks but so far, I like it.
Won't be deleting Chrome any time soon.
