[QUOTE=Sc00by22;31331126]Every one of those backgrounds is an eye sore, the navigation bar looks out of a place a bit because it's not defined very well. It would probably look better in the top right with the logo. Also, are you really that desperate for rounded corners in every browser, is it worth an extra 4 images?[/QUOTE] Could you make a screenshot of what you are seeing? Because the navigation bar seems to be fine for me: [url]http://i.imgur.com/8XFEs.png[/url] I'll have a look into removing some eye-hurting backgrounds. And yus, I like rounded corners every now and then. :v: At first I had an easy rounded corner solution without the need of images by using the border-radius property. But since it's CSS3 only, not many browsers support it yet sadly. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Chuushajou;31334123]Quick Question, Which is best way to test backwards-compatibly for browsers?[/QUOTE] I simply have all major browsers installed (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari[not really needed, since it's webkit], a couple of these include older and newer versions), and IETester for IE6-9. I develop with Firefox, and during development I routinely test everything out with different browsers, or if I suspect something might not work as intended. Do remember these words, however: a website doesn't have to look 100% the same across all browsers.

It lets you choose between IE7-9 Standards, and Quriks mode (IE6). Also, you can't immediately rule out Safari's compatibility just because it works on Chrome. It tends to render the document very similarly, but there are a few differences in JavaScript (Function.prototype.bind exists in almost every major browser except Safari).

I am converting phpBB2 into phpBB3! It might sound stupid but stay tuned.

In my opinion (I've also seen some websites do this, like youtube) the right thing to do is use css3 features, special selectors, etc. to decorate the page better, and to just make sure it [I]works[/I] in IE8, but with no fancy effects or decorations.

It would be fun to try and make [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCSA7kKNu2Y[/url] in HTML5 and CSS3.

Google have only dropped support for IE6 for their latest designs, it's not like they let it display a broken page. The same goes for Facebook.

It depends on the purpose. The latest versions of my wordpress plugins don't support ie6 (although they do actually work well - I haven't spent any time making that so) because wordpress 3.2 doesn't support it (and is unusable with IE6). Now that chrome frame can be installed without admin rights I don't know why anyone is still using ie6 but they are. I'm currently redoing my website and it will DISPLAY in IE6 but nothing more. The target audience is web devs (and if they are using IE6 then they need to be shot several times). I find what consumes most of my time now is not browser compatibility (mainly because I don't give a shit how it looks in ie7 - as long as it is usable) but making it search engine friendly. HTML5 and CSS3 is all very well but search engines ignore it so if you have a design that has everything display:none or opacity:0 by default and then stuff fades/slides in using css3/javascript then search engines will ignore it. Also search engines don't like ajax so you need to have a non-ajax fall-back and then remove the href from the links via javascript and attach the ajax shizzle.

Just made this logo here for a thread in GD [img]http://qfi.im/rayven/rayvenq.png[/img] Please visit it, donate if you can. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1111011-Rayven-Foundation-How-Rayven-s-amazing-story-made-us-raise-money-for-cancer-patients[/url]

Reading that thread has truly inspired me. I think, what we should do as a team is make some website templates or wordpress themes and stick them on themeforest and donate all the proceedings towards the foundation... Just a thought...
