Cannot move Webparts - sharepoint-2007

I have a page in a sharepoint site. When it is edited (Site Actions -> Edit page), there are various webparts in different webpart zones available. I drag and drop some webparts from one webpart zone to another. This happens perfectly in some browsers (IE 9 Compatibility view) but this doesn't work in many of the browsers at all.
It gets moved to a different zone, but doesn't retain that position when the page is published again.
I tried this in Chrome as well as firefox, IE9 (normal mode) but this doesn't work anywhere.
Is this a general issue with Sharepoint?
Does it have anything to do with webparts hosted in those pages?

From what I've learned from a Microsoft employee, who demos SharePoint to clients in their Atlanta campus data center, enterprise support for cross browser compatibility didn't come along until SharePoint 2010.
Notice, that the Microsoft Communicator colored presence status also doesn't show up next to a username in non-IE browsers in MOSS 2007. Also, Firefox has a terrible experience in the rich textbox field.

OneNote API, Unknown User

I'm looking for a solution to hide (or at least change) the "UU" (Unknown User) in the Microsoft OneNote application, when the page has been feed using the Microsoft Graph API with an application access (The application edits the OneNote on his own).
small view of what appends
when right clicking on "UU"
I know there is a solution to disable it on each page in the OneNote app, but my app generates a lot of pages.
Anyone who have achieve disable or change this ?
This is by design. As there isn't an authenticated user, there is no way for OneNote to know who to attribute a given change too.
Assuming you're creating these pages in a small number of notebooks, you can select "Disable History for this Notebook" under the Recycle Bin and turn off versioning/tracking altogether.

View all of an individual's sharepoint permissions in Sharepoint 2007

Is there a way to view all of an individual's permissions in an entire Sharepoint 2007 environment ie, all sites, lists, libraries, etc? I know I can do this with Groups by selecting View Group permissions under Advanced Permissions. How do I with Individuals? I don't what and where the previous ITs gave users permissions to and we have thousands of areas and several hundred users. This is too much for a site by site verification. Thanks
I use Access Checker WebPart for MOSS 2007.

is there a site offering a localised overview of all alternative browsers

I would show IE6 visitors a site with limited css (Progressive Enhancement) but would also like them to gently show a header informing them they can/should upgrade to a modern browser. There are initiatives out there, like ie6nomore, who do just that. But the list of modern browsers and the headertext is hardcoded.
My site is localised, so I rather have a link to an external website, that autodetects their browser language, and informs them of modern browsers in their own langauge.
That way my 'advice' will always be up to date and fully localized.
It's not a complete list, but Microsoft had to setup a browser choise page which shows the top 12 browsers, based on market share. This list will be re-evaluated every six months.
You can read more about this here:
Browser Choice FAQ
So if you detect an old browser, you could display a nice message and a link to this page.
Hope that helps.
At least safari goes directly to the windows download, so its not really a universal solution.
And its only in english.
The browser landingpages are available in all languages, so so should be the browserchoice page. Unlike firefox and chrome apple doesn't have an auto browser language detecting landingpage, so I rerouted it via google search to achieve that.
(why can't I add this as a comment to the previous post?)

How to show a list of sites the current user can access?

I'm working on MOSS 2007 and I want to build a sharepoint webpart that can list all the sites (in the same SPfarm) visible to the current user. What I can think of is:
Use FullTextSqlQuery class to search for the sites, but is it possible;
Build an external application that crawls the user-sites information by using the Sharepoint Object-Model. The webpart can then use this information.
Is there any simple solution?
Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks!
Please take a look here: Talk to SharePoint Through its Web Services at "Example 3"
You'll need to write some managed (.net) code.
SharePoint creates site maps by default. Unless you have turned this off, you can get one from a site by appending /_layouts/viewlsts.aspx to the site URL.

How do I create an Active X control for use in Internet Explorer 7+?

I'm using Delphi 2007 and I am looking for some resources and best practices for writing an ActiveX control for embedding within Internet Explorer 7.0 (and higher).
My goal with this ActiveX control is to be able to retrieve information about which websites the user is visiting, and the type of connection (e.g. HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, etc). I'm not looking to sniff traffic, just for reviewing the addresses they are visiting.
Or, if it would be easier, I would ideally like to write a toolbar similar to AVG Anti-Virus' free toolbar that it installs in IE that "verifies" links on pages as safe links. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Regards.
If you create a new project, you can choose several options, one of them is an ActiveX control.
I have done that in the past (delphi 7) and used it on a web page without problems.
