Hi guys!

Just like to start off by saying, MyBB is the BEST free forum out there! Recently, however, I've ran into a little problem. The GZip Page Compression doesn't work with IE. When I turn it on and try to access my site, it shows a blank, white page. When I go to view source, it's blank. Oddly, it works with Firefox.

Anyone know how to fix this problem? Is gzip page compression really worth it?

Thanks,
LPX
You can go here and test it with and without it on and see the difference in size.
Unsure why you are having that problem on IE, as it works for me, which version of IE is this?
If you're on very limited bandwidth, page compression would be useful. But if you aren't even close to your bandwidth limit, then you can disable Gzip compression. It usually doesn't make that big of a difference to a user.
