Still haven't touched IE ... but at least I have Mint working properly.

After running into this problem here at my new home, the prescribed remedy (monkeying with .htaccess in /public) didn't seem to have the full intended effect.

I could only reach the Mint install by including the index.php in the URL (like /mint/index.php and /mint/index.php?js). I tweaked the SimpleLog bits to add the index.php into the URL includes on every page ... but then I would have needed to dig into the Mint code to change all of the references in there to include the full URL.

And that wasn't happening.

After searching around, I stumbled on a similar (OK, exact) situation in the Mint forums, pestered the original author and found the answer:

A subdomain.

Following the according-to-Hoyle directions (and yes, it really seems to be as simple as creating two folders), I set up mint.dummied.org, copied the original mint folder over, changed all the references (in SimpleLog and Mint itself) and recached everything.

Viola! Minty freshness.
