Today I've been able to upload the changes that have been made to beefsack.com since I did my initial upload.
The big change, especially in my eyes, has been to get the CSS looking how it should in IE6+. I got very close to doing it without any strange hacks, floats were all doing what they were meant to and everything looked fairly good, except for a couple of problems...
For some reason IE6 and IE7 were ignoring a couple of my div top and bottom margins (though it was all working in IE8). The fix? For testing, I set the following CSS to see how margins and padding were looking:
And magically, everything aligned and the margins were recognised correctly! After hours of googling and playing around I couldn't find a real fix, so in my CSS you will find that code, however the border colour has been set to white. The border style has to be a visible style too, I tried using hidden instead of solid but the problem came back.
The other visible change is the addition of a links section to project pages. Next step is to have project downloads fully functional and the feature set I had planned for my initial release will be complete.
