Layout Differs On Pages...

If you are wondering why the layout is only the new layout on the games section and the home page, that is because it take's a while to update to the new layout, and lately I've had no time. So slowly, but steadily it is updating. Also there are still all the bugs I'm trying to work out. One thing I want to mention. In IE 8 (not 7) the site still doesn't work. That is all for now
Thanks,

Known Bugs In Other Browsers

As you know, I am a Firefox user, so everything I design is based on the way it will look it Firefox. So I have downloaded the top browsers and viewed the site on those. I am talking about Google Chrome, Opera, Netscape, Safari, Internet Explorer and even WebTV. here are my results:

Chrome- Same layout and look as in Firefox. The glider on the home page works as it should, and when one of the links is clicked on it opens in the Highslide "pop up" as it should. Two bugs i noticed. One bug is if you click out of the pop up, the music or video or similar continues to play in the background. Also if you click one of the links on the home page, the pop up pops up fine, but the other things in the window doesn't show. like the comments, ratings, etc... But only in some of them. The process is random, and I have no solution to this problem. Other than that, the site works fine.

Opera- One major bug I noticed is the glider on the home page, or all the pages for that matter, doesn't work. It won't move on to the next one, so that makes it impossible to see the other links. This is pretty important, and I am searching for a solution immediately. The high slide pop out works on here, but the same thing as chrome, the multimedia will continue to play unless you stop it.

Netscape- The one bug i noticed here is that when you click the glider for the first two times it doesn;t change. It takes three clicks for it to move to the next slide. Not a huge deal if you figure it out. Other than that everything is fine

Internet Explorer- This is the worst at my site. The layout is all messed up. Everything about it is screwed and wrong. Also none of the features work. The glider, the pop up and every java script feature I have. Internet explorer makes the site look and work bad and i STRONGLY suggest you switch browsers.

WebTV- Boo. Honestly, does anyone use this?

Safari- First note that I use windows, the obvious better computer. So this was tested in windows safari. I'm not sure how the site reacts on macs. That being said, I tested the site and it had the same exact results as in Google Chrome... Strange. So The only problem being that some of the pages tabs don't. I really can't figure out why. Other than that, the site's layout looks normal and the features all work fine.

All in all I am going to say SWITCH TO FIREFOX. It is overall the best browser in handling javascripts and such, and it has overall better quality than the other browsers. If anything, switch to another browser if you are using IE. That is all

New Site Layout Again

Hey guys I know it's been a while since I posted an update, so I thought I'd let you know what's going on back here at home base. After getting some bad reviews for our new layout, I decided to redo the whole design. I pulled a couple late nights working on this, and now I am releasing it. It will take a day or two for me to change every section (Minus music, movies, videos, and shows) to the layout. Also I am working on all the parts of the site that still don't exist. As you may notice, I got rid of two sections:
Quizzes- I feel no need to keep this section around. Ever since I started the site I've had this section listed, but never done anything with it, so I decided to get rid of it.
Lyrics- The lyrics section was exactly the same as the music section, so I decided why not just merge them. So now lyrics can be found under music.
That's all I've got for now. Look out for some great new features here.
Thanks,
-Alex
