Re: Threads on the right side...

It's a reality we have to deal with. Some people are just not interested in the technical aspect of how the internet works. They just wanna go online, surf the sites they are interested in and thats it. They could care less about all the other stuff. That's why you always have to make it backwards compatible.

This is true Falcon, and it is true us designers have to build around the lowest common denominator.

However, it would be nice to burn all those idiots . . . badly (with liquid hot mag-ma).

Great pictures Tim. I had forgot how funny those movies are.

We do our best to make the site as compatible as possible but with IE6 it is not always an easy task. However, I'm sure we will get it all working soon.

Henning,

I feel your pain. I too have to deal with it daily and it's nothing but a big headache of band-aided HTML. Like you, I wish everyone would just update their browsers frequently. It would solve a lot of the issues, but I'm sure you realize what a pain it is to convince everyone of that. LOL.

Best of luck.

Dr Evil says that Tim should be paid "one milllllllion dollars" to develop the ultimate compatible browser. Oh wait, that should be ONE HUNDRED MILLION dollars!

A really good friend of mine once had a web site where you could watch live dj's spinning music from their homes, studios, bars, clubs, etc. Sometimes when he would update his site you wouldn't see the changes even though we had IE configured to check the sites for new changes. So we would actually have to clear our cache, then go to the site and THEN we would see the changes. I said to him...Do you actually expect people to do this?

Things have changed a lot on the web since then (7 years ago) but I still believe people should be able to view your site without having to do updates or download a different browser to be able to see it properly.

This site has been pretty good thus far in that regard and I realize there are still changes going on the back end so no worries. Keep up the good work.

I have no problem viewing the right side tabs on IE7 which is on all of my computers. I do have a problem with the "Log On" at the top of the page on my main desktop, but not on my laptop and my wife's computer. It doesn't work and I have to use the link at the bottom of the page. Can anybody tell me why?

Do you, perhaps, have the browser set to automatically delete certain cookies when exiting? Check to be sure you are allowing cookies for DVDTOWN in the browser.

Unfortunately, browsers always cache pages and certain items in order to make pages you hit frequently come up faster. When making a change to a site, especially with graphics, the cache needs to be cleared in order to see the changes. There is a simple keyboard shortcut you can do to solve this issue. Simply hold down the "Ctrl & F5" keys together on your keyboard. This will refresh the server thus clearing anything cached.

For those who don't know, F5 key always refreshes your browser on the client side (your local machine). When used in conjuction with the Ctrl key it refreshes the entire session on the server side. Keep in mind, it doesn't refresh the entire site, just the page that you're on. So, you will need to do the keyboard shortcut trick for every page a change was made.

IE? What's IE? <kidding>

Anyway, everything looks fine using Firefox.
