Maq Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have FF3.0.4 no line breaks here... I'm using 3.0.4 as well. Oh well, it's not like it's a big deal, especially if it's just me. But the issue may be a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtopolis Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I had the same error with the 'replies' things, but just now as I was about to post SS it fixed itself.. also did a CTRL-F5 a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 "IE6.0 - Home page layout problem." If I remember correctly, the person who designed the homepage (I really should remember that x.x) basically said he gave no special effort to support IE 6. I don't know if he went back later or not and tried to make it support IE6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use IE anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Dan designed it. And no we are not going to make any special effort to cater to previous browser versions. People argue that that cuts out a good chunk of the potential viewers. Well we reason that they are only potential viewers if there is a possibility they will be going to a site like this. Avg Joe internet surfer is not a coder, so he would not be looking for a site like this. The people who are interested in sites like these, will more than likely have the most up-to-date version of their browser installed. We cater to them, not Avg Joe surfer.

Daniel0 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Actually, Jeff designed it. I coded it and I did indeed drop support for IE6. I'm not concerned about cutting out those users. They constitute 8.72% of our hits (see attachment) and even then they can still browse the forums and read the content on the main page though with a lower user experience.

.josh Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Actually, Jeff designed it. Ah yeah, sorry. I knew Jeff designed it and you coded it. I just sort of used "design" in a more generic sense, because that's the word corbin used. Didn't mean to not give credit where credit's due!

I wasn't blaming corbin. I was simply explaining the reasoning behind my words. I accepted responsibility; hence the apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcombs_31 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Actually, I coded the initial template too which did support IE6, not sure what happened but I guess Daniel had to change a few things for it to work with the framework. Here is the original template http://multimedia-technologies.com/clientsites/phpfreaks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
