Touch a Quarter Naan

This is pretty amusing (sorry Danny)

go to the IAGSDC website and click on the Touch a Quarter Century banner.

I clicked right on the Officers link without reading and was amazed at how ethnic sounding the entire board of the Cleveland convention is!

Thanks for the info! I'm guessing you are not using a Windows machine with IE7 installed?

I think this must be a problem with the banner - I'll contact the organizers. You should end up at http://www.taqc.org - and indeed, on all the Windows/IE7 systems I've tried, that's where you go. However, this is a Flash animation, and I have no idea what embedded code may be in there. It could be that they have multiple links based on platform, and that they've mistyped one of the links. In any case, I'll definitely let them know. Can you let me know (webmaster@iagsdc.org) what browser and OS you are using?

You got it. I just sent the e-mail.

and it just dawned on me as I was typing this, that Chip got what I found so funny too, and he is viewing on a Mac as well.

Is the IAGSDC site only tested on Windows/IE7?

I wouldn't let anyone I care about use IE as their primary browser -- too many security problems.

I wouldn't dare design to a single platform! However, I didn't test the Flash file that TAQC supplied on other browsers/platforms.

All the IAGSDC code that I create is tested on Firefox and IE directly; and I use Dreamweaver's compatibility testing to check that it runs on other common platforms. Since I don't have a Mac, if there are major changes to code, Kris Jensen is kind enough to test on her Mac when I release those changes. (Other testers are welcome - just write to webmaster@iagsdc.org to volunteer :-).

And in related news, I ran the stats for the first quarter for the IAGSDC site this week. Well over 90% of all accesses are from Windows machines, and of those almost all are IE7 or IE6, with a small percentage Firefox. Regardless, I will always test for at least Windows and Mac, and with a variety of popular browsers.

I'll have TAQC fix their Flash banner!

And bad links happen no matter how much testing you do.

It was really my reaction to not realizing I was in the wrong place that I was posting about.

"Wow, the Cleveland Club sure has a lot of members from India!"
