Website Fix: Product Review Pages

You may have noticed that the 'Product Review' pages of Pixel-Bricks were displaying just plain wrongly for the past couple of days. Never fear though, we've found the problem that was causing it and we've fixed it. Doing this has been of benefit because, quite by chance, we noticed some coding errors that we had replicated on every review page. This tiny bit of code was having a massive effect on how the website looks. It basically knocked things out of place from where they should have been. The annoying thing about it was that the resulting errors meant that the website looked different in every web browser.

After working well in to the night (it's 2.58am as i write this), we've managed to get it sorted, along with all of the resulting problems that occurred because of the change. The only thing that we're aware of which is not quite as we'd like it to be is how the edges of the tables on the product review pages look when using Safari as your web browser. Luckily, it's still acceptable and we'll work on it at a later date. Right now, we're just glad to say that we've got it them all working now in a way that means as many people as possible can view them as they should be viewed.

We recommend using Firefox to browse the internet. It's fast, free and it's the safest and best looking browser available. Our whole website has been optimised to work best in Firefox; this is a growing trend, many web designers are doing it these days which means many websites will look best when using it so if you don't already have Firefox, get it now and bin those monstrosities that are Internet Explorer and Safari.
