Fixes for IE, Safari, Chrome

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.

Bug Fix Release for 1/27/09

I’m going to try to update the blog more with some bug fix releases to keep people up to date with what’s going on. The release for today is on the small side though. The profiles and arcades section have a “show arcades/profiles within so many miles” drop down, where you can select 10,20 up to 5000 miles — or everywhere. This wasn’t working due to the weird way we were using Geokit. The changes made to get this working are available on my fork of geokit-rails.
