When I click on someones profile:

I get this:

Sorry if this has already been brought to your attention, or if it's something on my end. I'm currently using Internet Explorer, but I believe this happens on my firefox at home also. Thanks!

Looks like maybe when you were viewing it, the server that hosts images and CSS might have had some issues... is it ok now?

Try again and let me knwo if you are still having problems. Also, try doing a hard refresh (hitting CTRL + F5 )

Okay, I think I see the problem now. You are using IE7, right? Okay, that's your first problem.

The next problem is that IE7 has broken the <base> tag. What's bizarre is that it is working fine on other pages (like http://www.warcraftrealms.com/char/Bloodscalp/Rollie ) but not for the user page ( http://www.warcraftrealms.com/user/Rollie )

I'm still digging to see if I can find a work around, but I know that this is the core of the problem.

Ha, and even more interesting.... works fine when you go here:

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/user/2

but not when you go here:

And that is why I like Firefox......

Okay, I got it working. Here's the interesting part. When someone was using the username version, I was printing out a little comment at the top of the page (debug that I forgot to remove), and this comment was causing the <base> tag to not work.

All the comment was was something like this:

Code: Select all

<Rollie>

Now, why the hell IE7 breaks when there is taht comment there, I have no idea. Please let me know if anyone comes across other broken pages like this because I often have little debug text in comments like that, which SHOULDN"T fricking break things...

My how I hate IE...

If you are still one of the sheep using IE, go here:

www.getfirefox.com

Download firefox. Use it for 2 days and I guarantee you'll never look back at IE again.

I appreciate your effort!
