Skate and Annoy: Daily

site problems

Never Mind the Bollocks: Side one, track five

It has come to our attention that some users are not experiencing the full glory of Skate and Annoy as it was intended. You should be seeing (left) three columns side by side, but it may be showing up (right) as one column stacked on top of two columns. Problem is, I can’t replicate the error, and I’ve tried it with multiple machines, even on Windoze…. Take a minute and leave us a comment if you are seeing it the bogus way on the right. Please include the web browser you are using (version if possible) and what operating system version. Also helpful.. how long has it been that way?

  • I see the bogus way. Using Explorer with Windows XP/NT

  • I see the bogus way with Explorer and using Windows XP.

    See it fine with my Mac (G4) laptop though.

  • corncobcock

    oh! i got your comment right here pal! what kind of rollerboard site is this anyway? Disco rules and punk is bunk! rad-e-kal mon! just kidding….Rob Ras-kopp

  • Firefox: All good
    IE6: not good

  • Bogus way on the right
    IE Ver6
    Been that way since the page change last Spring

  • enemy combatant

    I can’t see the mp3 download frame OR the checkout button!
    Mosaic 3.0b

  • I’m all left. Good to go. Safari and Mac’s rule!

  • JUST GO MAINSTREAM ALREADY AND USE A FUCKING PC.

  • firefox newest updates, all good, i have never had a problem viewing it the way it was intended in firefox..

  • some guy at work

    Looks good with Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.9). But on the same computer it looks “bogus” with IE version 6.0.2900.2180.xpspsp2gdr.050301-1519

    The operating systems is Windows XP Pro.

  • Bad way on right on Explorer/Windows XP. I believe my Mac at home is correct/left way using Safari.

  • enemy combatant

    Give your browser the acid test:

    http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html

  • enemy combatant

    Validate any webpage:

    http://validator.w3.org/

    Skate and Annoy chokes the validator because it contains erroneous hexadecimal tokens and causes it to return this message:

    Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 527 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

    The error was: utf8 “xA0” does not map to Unicode

  • Windows 2000 SP4
    Internet Explorer 6.2800.1106

    It as always been the “wrong” way…

  • A

    Yeah yeah, validate schmalidate. I’m aware that SNA is not 100% standards compliant. Even if it was, IE is not exactly know for being compliant either… Even a valid page can display inncorrectly in IE. Thing is, I tested it on three different windows machines that I have access to and it all goes off without a hitch.

  • Kilwag, when I worked with the beverage industry and frequently visited your site in sheer terrifying boredom, it always came up this way, ever since you had posted asking for feedback on the new design.

  • I am viewing it with NOTEPAD and it looks fine to me.

  • Ha, ha, ha. Bobcat is brilliant!

  • Hey, you fixed it!!
    I saw it was half-right yesterday, and now all good today. Thanks for helping out us Windows IE guys.

  • A

    Wha? I haven’t done a thing!

  • It’s still broke dude.

  • A

    I ‘m not going to do poop about it until I can find a machine where it doesn’t work. It must not have bugged anyone.

  • How about it all you SnA viewers using IE6? Does it bug you? Kilwag wants to know.

  • enemy combatant

    If you are using IE then you are watching at work which you shouldn’t be doing ;-). NO ONE in their right mind uses M$ Windoze voluntarily.

  • shredder

    my mouse is in my ass…signed, mike weed. yeah..mike weed

  • John Lytle

    Kilwag, You need the box model hack if you are still having this problem with IE users. Hit me up

  • OS: Linux
    Browser: Firefox or Konqueror = no bogus

  • hey Kilwag… your site’s sidebar is on the bottom again. FYI.

  • Oh, I am using IE 6.0 in Windows XP Professional.

  • A

    Aack! A stray apostrophe was the cause.
