For the Mixxmag template we included a script that will display a message to IE6 users advising them to upgrade to a more secure browser version.
This is not enabled by default, but can easily be turned on or off with a toggle in the template manager. When enabled, users visiting your site with IE6 only, will be able to view the message.
