    This morning I tried to reply to a review and the box that pops up could barely be seen. Further when I tried to type in the response box no text was visible. The text on the page behind the box could also be seen through the text windows in the review box.

    I was using IE 6 on Windows XP.

    IE6 is so fucked it's not even funny. It disregards much of the standards the web is based on. IE7 is better about it, and that's the limit of the compatibility testing I'm able to do.

    Yeah. It worked perfect with Safari on my mac just now. Unfortunately IE6 is what they use at my job so I don't have any options for upgrading it.

    Thanks!

    I honestly don't know enough about working around IE6's faults (or have IE6) to fix it. Many sites have entire stylesheets just for IE6 since the default fails to render correctly. I'll look into it, but no promises.

    Yeah, it would be good to do, with the amount of people that use IE. Annoying, but worth it, I think, so more people can use the site properly.

    Sure, plenty of people use IE, but how many of them are still using IE6 as opposed to IE7? Are there really enough for Raven to divert his attentions to building an alternate version of the site?
