Might wanna have a look at this too:



Yellow bg, and redirect/new image going over the font cutting it.

This has been fixed for today's release.

Hi, any idea when you will release the working version for Internet Explorer?

[Sebastien Penet]

I cannot tell you that it will be perfect, but an improved version will come today or tomorrow.

How about doing something unique and make a skin that does work perfectly in all browsers like you used to?

It's sad the way Skinbox is going. Great looking skins that only work on certain browsers.

Viril is a new product. It has bugs. We fix them. Just like we did with all our products. You have to understand that the majority of our products are mature and already has years. Our skins are not "just skins" with two template edits, they are actual complex products.

Problem is Olivier these are paid products so should have been tested before they are sold to at least work with all browsers. In any product there will be bugs, but small ones which depend on certain individual criterias not overall very obvious bugs which everyone has, like the Internet Explorer javascript not working etc.

Not only that it is very annoying and time consuming when us as customers have to put back our edits after each update or search around ourselves in the templates to try and fix something our-self, we run communities and some of us are journalists- we do not make skins so this is on top of our other workload.

A new product like this should really have been bug tested by several people before being released. When selling these you are marking them as finished products which are suitable to use on live boards and this is what people expect.

I am not a novice I have been running communities for years and throughout these years we have had many changes to our site so I'm well aware of the problems Internet Explorer can cause, but to put a skin on a site like ours which has been running for years which doesn't work with Internet Explorer (still the most popular browser) can have some drastic consequences with a drop in visitors, members complaining and SEO, a new visitor will only wait a few seconds and then move on. It's not just your reputation you are effecting it's every site these skins are on. These skins should really be developed in Internet Explorer first then adapted for use with the other browsers not the other way round.

I wonder if you would say the same thing when IPS releases a new app. It's software, it will have bugs even if we test it. Please don't underestimate skins - they are products just like IP.Board or any other digital software.

I will close this - if you find bugs please report them in our bug tracker.
