The mask I wear for these communication ceremonies has a narrow, slitted mouth with no tongue protrusion, suggesting satiation or no need for aggressive consumption – it is painted black to symbolize the mystery of internet fictions and to facilitate movement therein – the small, round eyes in close proximity assist in penetrating through the fog produced when the sytem of delivery becomes in itself the message and meaning of communication – my Hamatsa 12.9 RX does the trick here all-righty

To me Savage Minds looks flawless on Opera 7.11, Firefox, and IE6. btw great design.

Thanks AJ and Moshu! It is a pain not having a PC box I can test things on. I usually get by assuming that standard compliant code will work, but sometimes there are weird hiccups with certain browsers. I see the flash of black in MSIE on OS X as well – I guess it is just because the background image takes a second to load.

Win98 + IE5.5
There is a very short blink of black background, but after that everything seems to be fine and as intended.

Looks fine here on MSIE 5.2 on OS X.3.9

At least, looks the same here, as under Firefox 1.0.4

Sorry. That was from the test code. I forgot to remove it when making the changes. It should be fixed now.

Thanks Fyreflye. That’s what I used to design the site – but unfortunately most people in the world have Windows and MSIE. I figured out what the problem is on MSIE 5 on the Mac – it seems the background images aren’t loading correctly. I assume that is the problem on other platforms as well. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to fix it.

Additionally, there seem to be some quirks with how MSIE 6 on Windows handles font sizes.

I’m running Mac OS 10.3.9 using Firefox 1.0.4 and the html. is flawless.

saw my blog for the first time he meant that the content is very worthwhile to him, but that the site needs a big CSS-overhaul. Frankly, I didn't quite know what to make of that. After I read that Kerim Friedman had ↑ problems with the excellent layout of savage minds when viewed in IE, it slowly trickled into my mind. Well, today I tore IE up from the darkest corner of the cellar, and indeed it messed up xirdalium quite a bit. Now the CSS-settings are adjusted accordingly and xirdalium looks as intented in IE6,
