But I kinda doubt it. SOMETHING changed to cause the problem.Now, if you just don't care because you're not going to bother trying to support every single frickin' browser on the planet, hey, that's fine with me. I can put up with a little javascript wackiness in order to avoid IE's pathetic CSS support.But statements like "If you're going to use any site with javascript I'd recommend getting a different browser." are just plain silly. There is no be-all, end-all browser and there never will be, and every site admin has to decide which ones to support and which ones not to bother with. Better would be a statement like, "I'm not going to all the trouble of debugging this site in that browser so if you want it to work right, use a different one."While I'm ranting on the subject, is there anywhere a list of the browsers and OS's ENWorld is tested on?And please don't for a second think I don't appreciate how well-run these boards are. They are my favourite place on the Internet, and I know (believe me, I know) how much of a hassle it is to keep something like this running smoothly. You're doing a good job that is much-appreciated.It's just big blanket statements put my back up, is all.Oh, and I've been running software QA departments for about seven years, so statements like "I was working on component A, so nothing could have possibly changed in component B" is kind of like waving a red flag in front of me and saying, "Nyaa nyaa nyaa!"That's equivalent to a developer saying, "I tested it on my machine and it works great, so I guess we're done with this feature now, right?" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />And as a final disclaimer, when I post things like "This isn't working in such and such a configuration," it's not in the spirit of "You dummy, why can't you do anything right," but more "Thought you should know about this."</blockquote>
