ATTENTION Internet Explorer Users

Post by TerranRich »

I'm trying everything I can think of, but nothing seems to want to work right in Internet Explorer. I'd suggest trying out the beta version of Internet Explorer 9 if you're dead set on keeping IE (which I highly recommend NOT doing).

Otherwise, try Firefox or Chrome (although things aren't working right in Chrome now either). I'm more confident that Chrome will be easier to fix. IE has serious issues with AJAX calls (calling up theme info for the infoboxes), CSS 3 effects (rounded corners, drop shadows, background gradients), and just displaying things correctly.

Firefox is 1,000X times better than IE, so I urge you to switch. Once I get things working right in Chrome again, I can suggest that as well.

Well, to put it this way, shortly after someone made a post in the shoutbox months ago, I started using Firefox & it's the ONLY browser I use anymore.

I use IE and everything works great for me. But then again I never click the info boxes myself.

Everything should be fixed in IE now... except for info-boxes, although I may have fixed them as well. Can somebody else confirm info-boxes work in IE now?

As for Chrome, well, I decided to make the two left/right sidebars stay put as you scroll. Let me know if those don't work correctly.

Yeah, there's nothing much I have to do to make this site Mac-compatible. It's more an issue of the individual browsers rendering the site differently... especially IE. And yeah, anything below IE 7 will not work properly. I'd even suggest you all upgrade to IE 8.

Supposedly, IE 9 is supposed to be truer to web standards, and anything that looks find in Firefox/Chrome/etc. should appear the same way in IE 9. It only took Microsoft 10 or so years to get with the program. LOL

After the last update i couldn't and still can't scroll down the quick navigation of the site to get to the random theme/entry option, only the middle part is moving. I'm using Firefox 3.6.12.

That's by design. What's your screen resolution? I'll work on moving things around and resizing things so they're not out of reach for smaller screens.

1360x768. I have a 16:9 widescreen, so i don't think it's that.

Having a problem with the main site, it doesn't seem to be loading properly.
It's been like this since yesterday (Jan 15th)

I'm using the most up-to-date version of Firefox.

A screen to show how it looks:
