Announcing IgoLocal - Physical Go Server & Location service

[cthomas]

I don't know, maybe now that my main development for version 1 is done, I'll try to get windows and IE8 working in a virtual machine and have a crack at it.

I know the arguments as well...

My problem is, I spend 100% of my time making the site work just with well-behaved browsers. I don't have any time left over for catering to IE's eccentricities... I really can't program and manage Igolocal AND make it work with IE, I don't have the time.

Sorry!

I don't know what the particular IE problem is that prevents the site from running, but unless you are really set on running all of this alone, I am sure people could pitch in and help if you ask. As a web developer I have to constantly fight with IE quirks (and Safari quirks, and Firefox quirks, and Opera quirks, and all that) - its painful but usually not very hard to deal with. You have a great idea, but if you shutting out 60% of potential users, you sort-of make it unworkable...

Chrome ftw!

Might want to take the easy way and explore this:

http://evolt.org/Google-Chrome-for-Internet-Explorer
http://www.chromeextensions.org/utilities/ie-tab/

Didn't try it myself, but I think it would help.
There are other solutions like that out there, from what I know.

Good luck, and holler if you need help.

You are a scholar and a gentleman! Looking this up now.

feature request: being notified by mail if a new player appears in a certain distance at a certain rank range.

I'm already refreshing like a madman

[cthomas]

This will be implemented - it was one of the first ideas I had with the system, but other features kept on pushing it to the back.

Hopefully, next minor release you'll see this.

Refreshing like a madman... hmmm I need to let people do that without reloading the whole page. Great, more work for me

It's coming. I have to add it myself though - phpBB doesn't give me that for free.

You should make it possible for people to delete their accounts.

This is a really great idea!
Thank You for making it happen.

I tried to register but the "confirmation code" does not show up.

Hey,

great idea, already registered. Besides the AGA e-journal you should write to local go organizations; I'll write to the german one

Cheers,
Michael

Okay, this is a really good idea.

[redponey]

Well here's another million-dollar idea someone stole from my head before I had a chance to make it happen! Dang!!!

[k1ndofblue]

I'm in!

[schultz]

I'm in!

Me too.

And I'm all lonely up here in Montana.



I'll give a shout out to the local group of Go players I know. None of them are on L19 (as far as I know).
