You read I.E in your last response as the browser Internet Explorer since it was in capital letters. I guess you meant to use the abbreviation i.e. as in the Latin "that is". It wasn't entirely clear. That coupled with the fact that a lot of Internet Explorer users using older versions have been complaining of similar problems.
In any case, I understand your frustration, and I wish I had a better answer for you, but as we continue to progress with the use of javascript and HTML5 the web will continue to be a messy place. The new site does offer some better features with these technologies. It clearly doesn't work out very well in every browser, but that's something we'll have to deal with over time. I haven't heard many complaints from FireFox users using the latest FF, and it should be just as easy to install FF on a Debian system as it would be to install Iceweasel. Maybe this can be a temporary work-around for you until we can find someone that will implement a more graceful way to degrade the javascript on php.net?
