Barnsley FC web site

Never noticed this before, but have you ever seen how bad the official site looks in Opera? I know this isn't Barnsley's fault, because Donny's is exactly the same, but it is shoddy programming. Just thought I'd share that.

 

It looks bad in any browser, but that's down to the content.

 

Actually, is this blank for everyone else?: http://www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Welcome

 

not in Opera. I can't test it in IE at the minute.

 

Which version? Looks Ok to me. nt

 

Back to normal now. Although the formatting is screwed in Firefox most of the time.

 

RE: Which version? Looks Ok to me. nt

9.27 - didn't know it was the out of date actually. It's a work PC so I can't upgrade it. Just to confirm it's not the front page which is fine, just http://www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Home/

 

I've got 9.6 - looks fine. nt

 

i didnt think spelling errors and typos were the browsers fault?

 

I've noticed that websites look similar when using Opera or Firefox, usually it's IE that's causing problems.

 

</p>

That just looks lazy though.</p>

 

That looks strange, what browser are you using then?

The bfc website seems to look fine for me, I'm using Opera 9.60.

 

Firefox 2.0.0.5 - can't upgrade further as don't have admin rights at work.

 

Hmm. Firefox 2.0.0.5 is certainly an old version (I have 3.0.3) but looks like there are some problems with the new version as well!

I'll post a screenshot soon.

 

Firefox / Opera / IE

Firefox:



Opera:



Internet Explorer:


So, only Opera (the least popular of those three browsers!) show the website correctly... nice work!

 

I still find it quicker than IE though and sometimes need to view things in more than one browser to test compatibility.

 

You should ask the admin person at your work to update those programs! They can be a big security risk.

 

I would, but I'm leaving on Friday.

do you have flash installed? It might be that application causing it to mess up.
