We're working on it...honestly, supporting Linux isn't right at the top of our todo list. But, we'll do what we can.

Can anyone else test our site on another operating system or browser? Anyone for Camino or Shiira? Perhaps someone use IE on Windows 98? The more feedback the better.

This won't be useful, but hence you asked, here's what I got in IE 5 under classic environment running OS 9.2.
Similar to the problems in Firefox on Linux :p
Have fun with it ;)

What, you've never heard of Chuck Berry? Without Chuck Berry, there wouldn't have been rock.

OH, and no Chuck Berry either. Elvis, pre-hips, is as far as we go.

tlarkin 05-21-2008 06:43 PM

the MC5 was real early 60s

Two words.

The Doors. Best band ever, IMO.

forum looks nice (though I'll admit I don't like that 'window-within-window' thing - always confuses the heck out of me. and are you sure it's appropriate at BrigYo to have the option 'it looks like crap' on your survey? :)

and that being said, I'm going to cancel my membership. I get enough crap for what I say here; I so much as open my mouth over there and someone's going to send out a death squad.

Well, I'm in charge, so we'll skip the death sentence, eh?

Honestly folks, I'm mostly joking when I talk about them being a bunch of prudes. Skip the pornographic links and don't swear. The rest of the rules are the same as this forum.

But that takes all the fun out of it :(..

Jay Carr 05-21-2008 08:55 PM

@Felix -- Oddly enough there are more things to life than pornography and swearing. Take arson for instance, or video games! And if you like both of them, you can play GTA IV. And, honestly, you can talk about all of those on my forums if you want. Might not get many responses, but there you go :).

well, it's not that, exactly. I just seem to have a knack for annoying people with strong religious or political opinions. I mean, I can't help it if I'm right, can I? but they never seem to understand that. <sigh...>

porn is for guys with no access to (or skill with) girlfriends, video games are for guys with no access to (or skill with) porn, and arson is for guys with no access to (or skill with) video games. and if all else fails, there's professional wrestling. it all ties together, you see...

Well, excuse me tw that most girls at my school wanna wait till they're legal to engage in advanced sexual activities :rolleyes:
I mean, I try, but you don't wanna push the wrong buttons ;)
Don't insult my skills :D

Jay Carr 05-21-2008 10:41 PM

Wait, what? I mean, without starting a real debate here, you are going to an American high school right?

Anyway, I'm sure you're great with the ladies, but more importantly I'm sure tw is just harassing you. You just make such a conspicuous and awesome target you see ;).

PS -- Any more comments on the site at all?

And it seems to grow quite fast
And btw, how old is your sister :rolleyes:

I get the page twice as wide as the screen, too, using latest Safari w/10.4.11, but lines up properly in Firefox.... not just a Linux thing.

"Rock Around the Clock," -- Bill Haley and the Comets, !955, is considered by some to be the first Rock and Roll hit.

NovaScotian 05-22-2008 08:54 AM

Looks and acts in Camino as it does in Safari.
