Well, see, that's kind of how it works. For starters I'll tell you I'm completely unable to click my notifications. Like, that orange spot in the middle of the hubwhell? Cannot click. Also, pictures fail to load, and videos load SUPER BIG to the point where they overlap other people's comments, or if they're in the post they'll often overlap the comment box. I put in a workorder for Chrome because I got so sick and tired of it, so I should be getting it (had in fact been previously using Chrome but then were upgraded OSes) and then I think most of my problems will be solved. IE also doesn't like the little pop-ups; like the "who badged this?" pop-up or the "followers" pop-up. i guess it would be more accurate to describe them as "sometimes they work, sometimes they take forever to work, and sometimes they don't."
The videos make sense. I believe I can fix that by adding a more thorough CSS rule. Pop ups as we'll - maybe. That could be a js error or CSS error causing it. It may just be more worthwhile to have the pop ups open in a new tab for older IEs rather than trying to figure out where and why it's failing. The notification is super weird though. That's just a link. I'm going to take a guess and say another element is on top of it because of the way we positioned those things isn't supported by ie. are there any other elements in the top bar you can't click? Do any look out of position? I just discovered that both my parents have an instance of windows XP on their macs. I'm going to be bug testing the new Americhip site this weekend using those I can do Hubski too. I assume you're on ie8?
I found where the element is hidden. Or the link is hidden. Sorry, web-lingo. Nothing looks out of place - that was an issue some months ago and maybe on an even older version of IE 8, but that got fixed. So if I click the number next to my hubwheel (the one that tells me how many badges I have left) it takes me to my notifications. I just discovered this today; I guess it's worth it to poke around some. So the link is very close to where it is supposed to be, just not quite. The thing with the pop-ups I think is that they load at the top of the page within I.E., as opposed to just completely separate pop-ups, so if I click they don't always appear. I have found that if I scroll up however they're there. So that might be an easier fix? I don't know.
