I decided to check this site in IE for kicks, *puke* I forgot how IE is a nightmare for web designers. Stuff that's not even suppose to be centered is centered, PNGs don't render properly, table spacing is all screwed up. Epic fail by M$. webmasters should not need to make two versions of their site so it looks good in a browser, and I refuse to do that. People just need to learn to move to newer, better, browsers. Even chrome displays this site normally. Only IE screws it up.

O M G you're right! Looks absolutely TERRIBLE.

It's too bad the vast majority of the population uses IE too :/.

Yeah I don't even understand IE. Why is it centering text that is set to not center, and why wont PNGs show in the right color and alpha intensity? And why wont it space borders properly? Stupid IE.

I'm scared to check what it would look like in IE7.

Then you have Google they throw a brand new browser in the market and it displays it flawlessly. Google should just buy Microsoft. They get shit done, right. :P

Well, I use IE at the moment. And the centering thing only happened about a week, maybe two, ago. Before that, it was left-side aligned. I figured you had set it to be center-aligned recently.

Aside from that, nothing has changed, except I can't see the shoutbox.

...I wouldn't. The very sight of it was similar to the final scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Luckily, I had a spare face.

Yep, this site always displayed fine in IE6/7, even the shoutbox. Something happened two weeks ago that broke it.

That's weird, only thing I changed is fixing the ad on top. It kept displaying wrong randomly so changed it to an iframe. Does it even show up in IE?
