I've now had 2 people say that can't access www.SteveCarter.com using IE7 (one on a Mac, one on a PC) The bloke on the PC re-installed IE6 and it worked.

Any IE7 people ... could you have a wander round my site (esp www.stevecarter.com/picaday/picaday.htm ) and see if you can get on?

Also any ideas why this may be happening folks? On the home page there is a small bit of flash, and there are animated gifs and some java scripts rinning in places (which I assume may be the problem?)

TIA

Steve

IE7 is Windows-only. The Mac thing is a red herring; any issues with IE on a Mac will be the same as on a PC, because Windows will be running in either case.

*clicks on link*

*goes blind*

Couple of points on the site itself (which works fine in Firefox, you'll be pleased to know). The top thing doesn't need to be Flash - a JPEG would do. The blinky things are most distracting, and the bottom "made in dreamweaver" thing is pointless. Lose the sound, too. Unnecessary.

You've got some really excellent pictures on there, but the front thingy doesn't encourage me in.

Both fine for me - IE7.0 5730.11

I think your are correct suggesting a Flash or Java problem they could in IE7 goto

Tools > Manage Add-Ons > EnableDisable Add-ons and see if they have ACtive X for Shockwave and JRE.


excellent site btw some really good stuff, just lost an hour at work browsing.

Don't mince your words man, tell it how it is!

I've been meaning to tone down the bling. Now done (well on the homepage anyway)

'Tis just my opinion - I really like the actual content on your site, but the portal just makes me twitch before I get to the good stuff.
