It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Fenixp: You think it might have something to do with this:
?
And I can scroll all the way down to nothingeness... On every page of forums... I was too lazy to contact support so far though

It's been a while, but I just got a reply from Mark at support, saying that they're aware of the issue...

Fenixp: Yep, Opera 9.6
And yes, it happens all the time, since the last updat (add of links to youtube, facebook, twitter).
Oh and thanks :D

I reported that yesterday, I have the same problem.

hansschmucker: Just curious, when I came here first, I was very thankful that whoever had written the CSS had apparently taken care to not produce errors. But after some recent updates, my console is now flooded with error messages. Some of them very simple to fix, like using the wrong type of commentaries for CSS.
I know this is probably minor to most people, but it's really one of the fine details that I'd appreciate. These are just the errors I get from global.css, there are more in skin.css (mostly filter errors), but you get the idea.
global.css
Lines 6,1575,1795: Invalid CSS comment with // instead of /* */
Lines 43,132,969,973,977: IE only behaviour served to all browsers
Line 52: Semicolon missing
Lines 2642,2647,2648,2653: Comment inside CSS with "#".
Line 2469: Invalid CSS property resize (don't know that one, could be MSIE only)

All errors found by you in css, are known and have been there since beginning. Those that could be improved have been improved (mostly comments). Other crazy selectors must stay due to IE6 compatibility.
The "new" icon causing errors in the Oprera has been improved specifically for this browser, but we can not guarantee that the situation won't repeat after next update of Opera.
Property resize is specifical value for Safari, it's blocking the ability to change the size of textarea.

Seems like I mixed something up... I really thought that the error console was clean when I first came here... maybe I had it set on error-only or something... sorry about that.
And thanks for telling me what the resize prop is for, I really didn't know that one.
About IE6, have you considered conditional comments? They're not perfect but from my experience the cleanest way to get something to only run in IE without confusing other browsers.

can you collect stats on what percentage of users visit here using IE6? Maybe its not worth supporting anymore. SP3 automatically upgraded XP to run IE7 (didn't it?) so I'd think IE6 would be a bit of a rarity these days

Sadly, no. Many companies (especially in the US) still use IE6... GoG is a game site so it's probably below the usual 18%, but I think it's safe to assume that it is still (at least) in the upper half of the single digit range.

Yeah probably true. Also now that I think of it, it sort of goes against the "remember how good old software was?" vibe that gog is built around.
Sure we're talking about IE6 so I'm not sure the word GOOD can really apply but...
