I'm now the official game server supplier for PC Format magazine.

Awesome. It's been a few years now but I used to subscribe, fond memories. My parents house probably still has a stack of them from the 90s!

How did you get the gig if I may ask?

Baron of Badgers?

Master of Meles meles

now thats a title.

When I get to the giddy heights of having a custom title I want "Victor of Verisimilitude". Roll on my 79th birthday.

Wow, there really is somebody still using IE6!

Epic fail on your part - even Microsoft recommend that nobody should use that decrepit apology for a browser

We talked about this last week. Yes it is used a lot. I'm seeing it at 20% at HAB Inc behind IE8 @ 46% and ahead of IE7 @ 11%. Firefox being 4th at < 9%

Congratulations Ardesco.

Please I have to give feedback on the website:

1, I open the link and page opens and first thing I get an intrusive popup saying my browser is out of date - the popup will not close - the x in the corner to close it is not working

2, I am using my 'work' laptop, so there is no chance I will be upgrading my browser, so if I was a potential customer, with this first experience I would walk away from Ardesco Solutions as I cannot use their website, secondly it would make me wonder if I cannot use their website, if they cannot make their website compatible with IE6 then are their pc solutions gonna be as good as they say

3, The formating of the website in IE6 is all over the place, a real mess


This is intended as useful feedback so that others do not have the same experience I had

All the best with the plan b congrats for getting official supplier for these pc's

Next step is to become overlord of the squirrels.

I have even heard of PC format magazine well done.

Don't really fancy that AtW has already been there, I mean would you want his sloppy seconds...

King of all Badgers though, theres a title to aspire to!!! or maybe even something dragon related...

Congrats

I get a static slot in the magazine where my logo and site info is displayed and any online events they run will be using my servers.

Cool - do they run lots of online events?

I guess even if they only ever ran one, it's good news, and something tells me it might just be more than that

Well done, that man!

[Ardesco]

Congrats - what does it actually mean?

If I ever knock up some web pages, I'll make a point of including some HTML or Javascript that locks the PC of any daft loser still using IE6, so they'll have to reboot each time.

Still using IE6 on my parallels images...

Let me ask a question.. and I'll probably answer myself on this one

Why do so many on the big company websites seem to avoid drop down menus on their websites? Is this deliberate for reasons of compatibility?

It's normally avoided in JS for accessibility reasons by web teams who don't know how to achieve an accessible result using CSS instead.
