RE: Testers Invited - Nazareth - 04-08-2011
I have internet explorer, but couldn't tell you if its 6 or not. My laptop is 2 years old so I'm sure it is loaded with whatsever the latest IE was at the time.
Am I one of those people you tell to find another game?

It's unlikely you have IE6 on a 2 year old laptop. IE6 was released in 2001, and replaced with IE7 in 2006.
Honestly, IE6 is mostly still in use in corporate environments where they wrote internal websites just for that browser. I don't think you're going to lose many gamers if you wrote a web site that didn't support IE6.

I can guarantee you are not. I make extensive use of Portable Network Graphic files (extension: .png) because they handle transparency much better than gifs. However, IE6 sees them as simply a big gray rectangles. You couldn't have gotten to screen 3. You are probably in i.e. 7 - let me see if i can figure out why it is choking - probably I am doing something cute with JQuery that it doesn't like.
I really appreciate the time you are taking to give me this feed back!

Okay, I just forced IE8 to pretend it was IE7 and was able to duplicate the problem - if I can duplicate it, I can fix it. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow. Thank you for this!

Okay the new version is up and, in spite of the caveat you'll see urging you to upgrade, I believe I've delivered at least 97% of the user experience of the app that you'd get in IE8/Chrome10/FF3.6
