In the end it took closer to 24 hours with a few glitches after starting back up. Still, I respect the way they did things, it was a bold move to take everything down all at once and I think this past day of downage and glitches is better than a week or more of unreliability. Apparently the problems are all fixed now :PThanks for your comments! Suggestions never go astray :) Yeh – they thought the move was going to take 4-8 hours, which I thought was fairly impressive.

Browsershots in general is a useful tool, but usually it can't check javascript related hacks, at least that's what I experienced...Anyway, I just felt like that I should mention the hack, you never know... ;) good to see your blog being up again. :up: I checked your site earlier but after the server move it was a bit broken :shrug:

Depending on your skills you could enable/disable the script based on the browser used. Browsershots in general is a useful tool, but usually it can’t check javascript related hacks, at least that’s what I experienced…

Anyway, I just felt like that I should mention the hack, you never know… ;)

I used that hack on my previous template. I seem to remember it working and then not working. I was using linux and checking IE on Browsershots. So, perhaps Browsershots just wasn't giving the javascript time to load before taking the picture. I think I prefer this method to using hacks. It seems more solid because sometimes you can't predict what someone else's browser is going to do. Yep! I used that hack on my previous template. I seem to remember it working and then not working.

I don't remember the hack right now, would have to research it again. If you want to know the hack, let me know and I will go through my older pages where I used it :) interesting tutorial, but may I add that there is some kind of IE6 hack which allows you fix the png bug?
