Known Bugs

Big Fonts

Some browsers might display fonts larger than default. For Internet Explorer 5.5 and lower, we've worked around this using a separate stylesheet. Other affected browsers are:

  • Opera: 5.x, 6.x
Ugly Boxes/Buttons

Some older browsers do not support all CSS styles, mostly the background-color setting, for input boxes and buttons. They are still functional, but might look somewhat ugly in the following browsers:

  • Opera: 5.x, 6.x
Line above "Members" in right sidebar

Some browsers, not supporting the :first-child' selector for CSS, will display a line above the "Members" bit in the right sidebar (menu). The following browsers are affected:

  • Internet Explorer: all versions
  • Opera: 5.x, 6.x
Some Tables not Centered

Some tables, mainly the overview tables for Extras and Editorials, are set to be centered. However, some browsers do not interpret the "margin: auto" CSS setting properly. Work-arounds are possible, but that means adding extra code in the HTML itself. As there is no CSS workaround to my knowledge, this will not be fixed. Affected browsers are:

  • Internet Explorer (Windows): 5.0, 5.5
  • Internet Explorer (Mac): 5.2
Whitespace between table border and content

Some browsers do not support the "border-collapse" or "border-spacing" CSS properties. This causes that for some tables, in some browsers, there's a little bit of white between the borders and the content of the table. This is the case for the following browsers:

  • Internet Explorer (Mac): 5.2
I thought IE was bad?

If you notice the bugs above usually do not apply for Internet Explorer: we've worked around those versions by applying hacks, using a separate CSS stylesheet. That means although almost everything works in that browser, not everything is natively supported by our default standard-compliant code. You'll also see that many of the bugs only appear in old or even ancient versions of the other browsers, but not in any recent versions.
