Update to IE7
January 19, 2007 - 07:20 PM

Okay, c'mon guys. It's about time, you really need to update your system to Internet Explorer 7. I can barely use the site because of it. Then, when I use the site at school (which uses IE6), I see the site fine.

Is there anything I can do?

Hi!

IE 7 is yet again not updated to current web standards. While we understand that some users are using IE 7, updating our code to work with the browser is more complicated. Because only a tiny portion of users are actually using IE 7, our priorities have been shifted elsewhere. It took us about a 2 weeks to get the navigation working in all browsers (at the time) and unfortunately don't have that kind of time at the moment to dedicate to just one browser.

We recognize that it is a problem and for that, we are truely sorry. There is nothing more frustrating than a website or service that does not work with the web browser that you're using.

All I can suggest at this time is to use any other browser such as Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com) so that you can enjoy navigation happiness smile

Okay, I know this has been a hassle. I myself was doing a demo last week signing 50 teachers up to TIGed and they all had IE7... they didn't know what they were missing! smile

I managed to spend some time tonight to play around with this and I think I've fixed it 100%! Can you please confirm?

I dedicate the fix to you youthforchange smile - thanks for bringing the issue to our attention, and sorry it wasn't fixed earlier. It was not a pleasant or simple thing to mess around with! (complex CSS that works 100% in every browser)

big grin Oh there are a couple more bugs, but I dont know if they have to do with IE7 or not:

- My "About Me" on my profile is un-visible.

- Lists like the books, or groups are half cut, it looks like the titles are overlapping.

Thanks again

Fixed the issue with the listed items.

Also, is your age correct in your profile?
