I like the old Liverpool tram especially the upstairs. The ceiling is something else.

Updating the browser is advisable for all sorts of reasons though Geoff, first and foremost security. Newer versions plug holes in the defences, so I would always update as new versions became available, hardware permitting.
Actually, this is not always the case. An older version - fully updated - is likely to be more secure than a new version where only the hackers have found the weaknesses.

If a developer wants to produce a version of (say) a forum that only works well on a given browser version, then all they have to do is to say so. This was a common courtesy in the days when video displays were progressing from 640 x 480 VGA ("This site is best viewed at 800 x 600" was typical). OF course, in those days there was only Mosaic, until Netscape, Cello, and Nello came along (yes, I can remember that far back - quite easily).

Most people do not upgrade their software until they upgrade their hardware. They are happy with what they are familiar with, and if it suits what they want to do, they stay with it. I could go on about this at some length, but that would get away from the point that a lot of people (evidenced by the posts on this forum) are not pleased with some (or all) of the changes, and can see no point in them.
