Game Guide
 

When did the GG change size? It displays without scrolling on my 1024x768 IE7. Thanks. It still states

"This Guide is designed to be Viewed on 1152x864 wide or wider monitor display settings."

I decided it was time to review the GG again with 4.5 and was surprised. Nicely.

The HTML has not changed.

I believe IE7 handles image sizes better than IE6.

But since I use Firefox rather than the Internet Exploder, I would not really know.

I spoke too soon. After the tutorial pages, it begins the larger size.

However, with the tabs introduced in IE7, you can change the view size as a % with 100% default. Choosing 75% allows me to view without scrolling although the print is smallish for my old eyes. This does not effect any other tabs.

You can also use a very good web browser like Opera.

I just installed IE8; it's much faster than IE7. Many tests of the new release (not the beta version) are showing IE8 as faster than Firefox! I love it when capitalism causes companies to compete...and we benefit.

Anyway, the GG looks great in IE8, and if anyone is currently using IE7 I recommend the IE8 upgrade.

Cross had a quick look round the site but could not find any answers.
2 things
Does it overwrite IE7 if not assume you just uninstall IE7 once happy with 8. Secondly if it doesn't can you transfer things like favorites over.

Yes, it overwrites/updates IE7. I just installed it 'ontop' of IE7 on four of my computers without any problems. Just download and execute, and it will guide you through the install.

After install, there is still an IE7 (hidden) folder in Windows, and an IE7 Updates folder.

All your Favourites will be intact.

I always create a 'Restore Point' before installing something like this. Doesn't look like I'll have to use it... :)

Re: Game Guide
 

Cheers I assume the IE7 (hidden) folder in Windows, and an IE7 Updates folder are okay to delete after. i have no trouble finding hidden stuff & yes restore always makes sense before an install.

Re: Game Guide
 

I second cross IE8 is a LOT faster & has several new features

Re: Game Guide
 

Mixed bag. I turned off all the features. Some webpages scroll faster, this one is slower. Could be the website is slower from the downloads or bots.

Most annoying, the favourites dropdown, mouse pointer floats about before it can be settled on a shortcut.
