New BF Site Look


Erwin

Recommended Posts

'Something' seems to be happening across the web and I don't know what. Multiple websites are hastily changing formats and designs. One website I frequent has posted a notice that after September Internet Explorer is not longer going to work on the site.  Another website I frequent has already screwed-over IE users. Something's up.

Most websites are now 'responsive' in that they adapt to being viewed on different sized sceens rather than seperately coded for small mobile screens / tablets / desktop monitors  / laptops.

IE has been the bane for web developers for yonks as MS didn't adhere to commonly agreed web standards , so addendum workaround code needs to be added to websites to bodge them to work with IE.  Chrome/Firefox or a mac wth Safari should tide you over.

Is it just my system or has this site been given a new look?  No one else has mentioned this, so am wondering if I changed some settings on my system... ??  :blink:

I just discovered this thread, but I am surprised no one mentioned it earlier. The site was inaccessible for much of a day a week ago. Instead, there was a message that it was being serviced. When it finally came back up, voilá, the new look.
