Checking Your Profile Posted 6 months ago

I'm running into a lot of broken profile pages here at the Buzz. They look fine in Firefox but in IE 6 usually the left column is pushed under the center column and the background for text is gone.

If you don't have access to IE 6 you can always go to

http://browsershots.org/

Submit your profile URL, uncheck the browsers you don't care about and in a little while you will have a visual image of how your site looks in the selected browsers.

I usually check MSIE 7 and 6 as well as FireFox, which is what I use most of the time. Since I have both running on my computer I don't need to go to browsershots, but I've been on 3 profile pages today that were broken.

Here is a hint. If you have added something to your profile page that as a width greater than 285 you probably have a broken profile. It depends on the theme you are using and where the widget is located on the page.

So you don't have to check your profile in the mirror, but you might want to check it at http://browsershots.org/

After all, we all want a good looking profile, especially when we know there are people checking it out.

Since I use firefox, I haven't run into this. Don't use IE unless I have no other choice.
