About the Website

We have tested the website configuration on the following systems and have not had any issues in any part of the site:

Windows 7 – Firefox 3.6.4, IE 8, Google Chrome 5.0.375.86, Firefox 3.6.6

Windows Vista – Firefox 3.6.6

Windows XP – Firefox 3.0.19, IE 8, IE 7, Firefox 2.0.0.20

Windows 2000 – IE 6, Firefox 2.5

CrunchBang Linux – Firefox 3.6.4

Kubuntu 6.10 – Firefox 2.5, Firefox 3.6, Konqueror, Dolphin, Firefox 2.0.0.8

Mac OS X 1.8.1.6 – Firefox 2.0.0.6

There are only a handful of people having issues that I have heard from. I have checked the access logs and have not seen any errors that would indicate a major problem on any particular browser either. It could possibly be settings within the browsers themselves, rather than the version.

It might help a few if you added “collar6.com” to your trusted sites list in your browsers.

I’m still watching the error logs and keeping a close watch on the site for problems.

It would also be helpful if when you can access the site (and previously couldn’t) out of courtesy you would let me know.

Complaining is fine but if you aren’t going to do anything more to help assist in isolating and fixing the problem, not much I can do about it.

meow. I’m running Abrowser (unbranded Firefox) 3.6 under Xubuntu 10.04 and it’s all fine. A quick test with Seamonkey 2.0.4 looks good too. Minefield/3.7a5pre (Firefox Alpha) doesn’t take it too well and crashes….

The only issue (FFx3.6 only) is the slightly misplaced voting incentive. (screenshot But it could also be due to the treestyle sidebar or another of plenty plugins.)

THANKS! The issue with the voting incentive is because of the text replacement with webcomicz.com being down. With the image, it should be alright but I will fix that text thing now. Thanks so much for the assistance on this, it is much appreciated!

Other than the OS X version (where did you read that number? It’s 10.x.x at the moment the latest is 10.6.4), it works pretty well with Opera (10.10 up to 10.6RC1 at least), too. And Safari 5. And Firefox 3.6.3…

P.S. did you know about this site browsershots.org? Allows you to see if a single page (not a reeeeeal test) looks good on a browser, the choice is big. Only downside is that you have to wait for the results.

Thanks! I do know about the browsershots.org but I truly wish somebody would develop an emulator to cover the board. Maybe not -every- browser but at least the most used ones. It would also be a great help if browsers all fully conformed to W3 standards. Web design wouldn’t be such a nightmare if they did!

It’s not really really the same thing, however it simplifies things the fact that Firefox, Opera and Safari works the same on all platforms. So basically with Windows and those 3 + IE you already cover everything major, with the exception of the random quirk on this or that platform. For the other older versions of IE a few bare bones virtual machines and…. it’s still a messy thing, but better than testing the same browser everywhere :-|

Running Mac OS X 10.5.7 (PPC) – works fine on Safari 5.0 (5533.16) and Firefox 3.6.3
Running Max OS X 10.6.4 (Intel) – works fine on Chrome 5.0.375.86, Safari 5.0 (5533.16) and Firefox 3.5.5 and 3.6.6

Many routers now send their DNS through OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/). I’m betting that OpenDNS has recently Blackholed you as a porn site, and a lot of folks are just getting DNS errors upon trying to bring up the page/image, etc.

I use OpenDNS myself, but have no restrictions set on it.

I’ve questioned a lot of folks and they say they have no filtering/firewall, etc on their usage. If that is the case though, the ball is in their court as the site is not a child friendly site and I’m not about to argue that.

I’m running Icecat [GNU Firefox] 3.6.4 under Xubuntu 10.04 everything seems good. Epiphany 2.30.2, Chromium 5.0.375.70, Flock 2.5.6, and Seamonkey 2.0.4 are also working flawlessly with the site.

hey just fyi, i don’t know if you’re done with the overhaul or anything but i thought i’d give this tidbit of information (love the site btw :D ) i’m running ie7 and vista home basics and the site looks like this http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff146/kitiar0/collar6site.jpg i’m not complaining of course just thought you might want to know it looks a bit wonky ^.^ i can still read the comic and access it so i’m a happy camper either way ;p

OH GAWD! How I hate IE! Thanks for giving me the screen shot. Will get that fixed shortly. IE is the worst offender when it comes to W3 standards. It is why I curse it every time I design a site! ;)

We have two machines here in the office. On the one running Windows 98 I hadn’t been able to see the comics in Firefox 2.0.0.20 recently, but today it loaded the comic just fine. I tested it in Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0.2800.1106 as well and that seems to be doing alright. On our Windows 2000 machine I’ve had no problem loading the comics under either Firefox 3.6.6 or Explorer Version 6.0.2800.1106IC.

I’ve tried several times to view the comic today and it has loaded first time every time, even when I clear the cache. Thank you for your diligent work! I really do enjoy the comic look forward to Friday’s update
