Internet Explorer users have been experiencing issues with the tabbed browsing for pages displaying incorrectly. We have done some work that should make issues better for users of IE8 and make it display correctly in IE9.

Internet Explorer 7 will still have issues with this page and, as IE7 is no longer supported by Blogger, there is nothing we can do about this without extensively recoding the blog.  Something well outside the skill levels of Pauly the House Nerd.  Sorry 'bout that.

He is also unable to test the changes on IE6 or before, Mac or Linux browsers.  Please report any issues via

wodongacrt@vit.vic.edu.au

and he will get onto them as quickly as possible.

We recommend an upgrde to Internet Explorer 9 for anyone still experiencing issues as the page is now compatible with IE9 and displays correctly.

We understand that some will not want to upgrade as the new IE is proving unpopular for some due to certain changes to Internet Explorer.  If you wish to avoid upgrading but want to view the blog without these errors we suggest installing either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, both of which display the blog correctly.

Do not set them as your default browser upon installing, or if asked to do so, and Internet Explorer will still be opened when you click on links in emails and documents (except from within the new browser).

Please note:  Blogger.com no longer supports versions of Internet Explorer 7 and previous versions.  This is going to become more and more common.  While the pages will open, features will start to be filled with a "internet explorer cannot display this web page" in the familiar white and blue.  Upgrading to a newer version of Internet Explorer will fix this for all web pages as will moving to a different browser like newer editions of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Regards,

Pauly the House Nerd.
