I admit, we’ve been a bit lazy on adding support for multiple browsers. My browser of choice, Firefox 3, is usually all I test in. For the most part this covers 99% of ArcadeFly, but that 2% must really annoy people who use the site in other browsers. Now though, the site should look the same in FF3, Safari, Chrome and IE7. I’m going to give it a once over in FF2 tomorrow, and consider supporting IE6. Since we’re lucky enough to use JQuery, getting everything working in IE6 should come down to some CSS tweaks. With a full 20% of our visitors using IE6, this is something we’ll definitely be seriously considering. If you come across any layout issues in any browsers other than IE6, please comment on them and we’ll do our best to fix them up.
This one has been requested from the start. Now anyone who’s signed in has the ability to add new games to ArcadeFly! These still will have to be confirmed by an administrator, but after that they’ll be public on the site. If you’ve ever been adding an arcade and come across game not listed, this one is for you. You’ll be able to create the game, and add it to the arcade right away. The game won’t show up publicly in the games list for that arcade until the game itself is approved, but it will show up in the “edit games” page for an arcade to whoever edits it (so hopefully there shouldn’t be any stepping on each others toes). Also when logged in users are managing games at an arcade, all games that are in the system will be available — pending or approved. So if someone else has recently added a game, and it has not yet been approved it will show up in there.
If there’s any questions or problems with how this system works, feel free to comment here or send in your questions through the GetSatisfaction page for ArcadeFly.
