I am updating the forum software and hopefully the website software also today. Hopefully this will resolve the Internet explorer issues that some people have been experiencing.

 

Again as always if anyone has been having issues please notify me.

Thanks

Well that round of updates did not fix the IE error. So please be patient as we continue to work on it The site displays correctly in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome so please don't let the error keep you from using the site.

I know that a lot of people have had issues viewing the website
lately. That should be fixed now. The code for the last upgrade caused a
bug in IE to not display the site correctly because of a ( " ) sign in a
comment on a post. Something so simple that brought the whole site down
in IE. I could really hope that Microsoft would start writing standards
compliance into IE but am not going to hold my breath.

It took a while to track it down but it is up and working again
thanks to the help of the theme developers that built the theme we are
using on the website. I kicked them a few dollars for their help as they
were gracious enough to spend some of their valuable time looking at
our problem. I was pulling my hair out about it.

Thank you everyone for your patience while this was resolved. As
always if you are having a problem using the site or see something that
is wrong let me know and I will do my best to get it fixed.

Oh there was a problem? It worked in Chrome and Firefox. I have not used IE due to security issues for years.

Just to let people know that the registration module was not working correctly either. So anyone that has had trouble registering can try again. I have defaulted it to the basic registration module.

thanks scott
