I made a little plugin for WordPress that can detect visitors if they are using the Internet Explorer 6 or older. In this case, they would see a message that upgrading their browser or even switch to a different one would be a good idea.
This Plugin follows the idea of the “IE Dead March Project” which wants all webdevelopers to stop supporting the Internet Explorer 6.
For installation instructions, screenshots and download just visit the plugin-site of wordpress.org.
There is also a Drupal6 module available to automate this feature.
If you need the plugin in different languages, read this.

Update: There was a critical bug in the old version 1.0 and 1.1.
In order to work properly, the plugin must be updated to version 1.2.
It is recommended to upgrade as soon as possible.
To do so, download the new version and overwrite your old files on your server. That’s it.
My roommate Alex developed a little module for Drupal 6 called ie6ban, based on my little code snippet for general websites.
Installation:
After succesul installation, all Internet Explorer 6 users should see a warning message instead of the original website.

Some days ago, I read about the IE Death March Project, which is a great idea to banish the Internet Explorer 6 from the web, which really gives a lot headache to webdevelopers every day, including myself.
The idea of the project is, that webmasters should stop supporting the ie6 by the end of march 2009.
To support the project, I quickly wrote a little code snippet which can redirect all Internet Explorer 6 – users to an info-page, which explains in short terms, why their browser is so bad. It also gives some information on what these people should do now and how webmasters can help to finally end the life of the ie6.
If you are a webmaster and you also want to stop developing for the Internet Explorer 6, feel free to insert this code snippet into the <head>…</head> section of your HTML-document and all your visitors, who are still using this ancient browser will be forwarded to this info-page. All the other non-ie6-users can view your website normally.
There is also a Drupal6 module and a WordPress plugin available to automate this feature.
A lot of languages are supported. Check this site out for more information on localisation.
