z31jaime Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 so what your saying is because whoever runs this site is to lazy or cheap to make a page compatible with IE then IE is to blame because they don't conform to the way this site was coded? The person that coded this site did a great job its was flawless (being serious)......... except that they couldn't figure out how to make it work with the most used Browser on the Face of the Planet (slightly sarcastic) ? while every other site, even small hobby sites which you say would take hours of pulling hair out..... are compatible with IE. The way i see it. Its no secret Chuck hates IE. and your post trying to "educate" us on why IE sucks and we should use something else, was a waste of time. VS should just have a big banner at the top that says "volvospeed.......DOWN WITH IE" and a firefox logo where the flag is on the current banner. a button should be added at the top that says click here if you use IE, for "COMPATIBILITY VIEW" and that button should re direct them to this.... Please don't take any of my comments above personal. i don't mean for it to be an attack on anyone. I just think its stupid to try to convince people that the issue is not this site. You did a tap dance around it. The site works, just not on IE....because no one in charge wants to put in the time to make it work. Its more easy to make a "standard" coded site and blame IE with that said i run Firefox because it is more safe, however on many sites i do find Google to be faster. IE just sucks i would even run maxthon or seamonkey before it. I just like to play devils advocate on the IE issue. lol 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to play devils advocate on the IE issue. lol I don't own or operate this site and have no part in any of the code or process of selecting software. While it may seem that I "tapp danced around", that was hardly my intention. I'm only expressing my personal beliefs/opinion. Chuck will simply tell you "IE sucks, get something better" and you're right; that's no secret. If I remember to, I'll talk to him tonight about the IE banner. I'm serious when I say he might like the idea Though having the website suck might demonstrate the browser's incapabilities and drive people to learn more about the situation. I'm not trying to pull a curtain over anyone's eyes, I have no reason to. And while we're on the topic of breaking things down, I should add for those who aren't aware that this forum isn't handcoded by chuck. Most forums aren't, it starts out with a base forum software package. As I said earlier, the small hobby sites you're talking about are 2000% less complex than a forum and are significantly easier to write in general, as well as ensure cross browser compability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Riker Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 To the comment that Safari is slow... this is true... and coming from someone who's used Macs since their inception... that's not a great thing to admit. However... most recent version of Safari 5 is pretty awesome at the same time. It seems to be more and more site compatible... and loads HTML5 really well. It's pretty safe to probably say Safari is slower than the IE on the PC............ and Safari is better than IE on the mac because there is no IE for mac. That's my kind of competition! (FireFox FTW, though... seriously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you were not Tap dancing. lol however the 2nd part of your post is still only half true. YES a forum is much harder to code than a hobby site. however, when you compare VS to EVERY other FORUM on the NET. its one of the few who aren't compatible with IE. just some numbers using forums i frequent........ volvospeed.com gets about....6400 visitors per day. orlandoforums.com gets about...3300 visitors per day. turbobricks.com gets about......2200 visitors per day. stanceworks.com gets about ......6300 visitors per day CFLeuro.net (our local car clubs forum) only gets 120 visitors per day. all are compatible with IE except VS. and they are all much smaller than VS (except for stanceworks). I realize making VS compatible with IE is a lot of work but when you are large scale site, you need to cater to your members. again thats just how i would run a Forum.

Matty Moo Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The computers where I work are locked down, so downloading FF or anything for that matter isn't an option. Can't use FF on a thumbdrive either. So, I sit at a computer at work and take care of pm's and posting on my phone. At home I use IE a few times a year at the most. Personally, I hate IE myself, but unfortunately a lot of us are stuck using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full lockdown, and even better, I can't plug a single USB drive in to the PC. I run mobile in IE7, not the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98t5M Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I use firefox, but I tried the site in IE8 and I don't see anything wrong, what are the issues other people are having? A Lot of websites show up a little funny for me as I use a bigger font than the firefox default but volvospeed actually shows up perfectly. It astonishes me how the vast majority of people have never even heard of firefox, or for that matter they don't even understand what a browser is.

Hastings Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'll make a small best in firefox badge to put on the bottom of the site. Believe it or not, these badges make a difference with high traffic sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocturnal7x Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 IIRC, Safari is dead slow though. I do like the interface, but Firefox and Chrome is better. I have the newest safari on my MBP. Its just as fast as chrome. I use chrome though because of each tab being its own process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 LOL. I just saw this. VS is fully compatible with MSIE 8. As for 7 and 6 I am not going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
