Why doesn Slashdot display in Browser X?
This could happen for a couple of reasons. If you’re using an old, outdated browser (IE6 I’m looking at you), we’re only really worried about major display bugs. If you have Javascript turned off, many things simply won’t work. Other than that, we develop for the browsers most of our readers use; Firefox first and foremost, with an eye toward Safari and later versions of IE. If you’re having a problem in any reasonably up-to-date browser, let us know. There may be a bug we’re not aware of, and we’ll fix it as soon as it’s feasible. We add new functionality to the site every week (or clean up/optimize existing functionality), and we test extensively, but nothing quite compares to a hundred thousand readers hitting pages. The sooner and more descriptively you let us know about a problem, the sooner we’ll fix it.
