@Pete

I don’t think its that difficult to be compatible with both FF2 and FF3, although i’ve not looked at your code to see what might be causing the issue.

@ ash, Yea, we’re aware of Firefox 2 issue. Unfortunately, (and correct me on this if I’m wrong) it’s not actually that easy to target both FF3 and FF2 and we made a decision as to be as forward-progressive as we can with css/xhtml.

As a result firefox 2 gets lost in the cull which is a shame, but without running a javascript detect and css specific styles just for FF2 it’s a bug that we have to live with right now.

@John

Hi John :-) I registered a .es domain recently and went into Google Webmaster tools expecting to do exactly that, and set the geo preference to UK. As far as I could tell, the option is disabled on TLDs that are country codes. I guess the logic is that the geo-preference in those cases is automatically set by the nature of the TLD. So I think that option is only available on TLDs where the country preference could be more ambigous such as .com, .net, .org etc.

Hi Max, you could convince me give me a mail on matthew at’ existem.com with a sensible price and we can maybe run a test :-)

Thanks for the tip John and Ash you need to upgrade mate ;) but good point firefox 2 is still used - I’ll get our designer to reply.

Nice looking site but not displaying well in Firefox 2 for me.

interesting using .at …of course you can always set the geo preference to UK in google webmaster central - that might help a little?

Really like the layout by the way ..nice job

Interesting that you’ve gone for a .at domain, personally wouldnt have, i’d have bought up a .co.uk with a bit of ages, something short and sweet with the keywords in it…such as govouchercodes.co.uk which coincidently I have for sale ;)

Hi Gadget, the site’s hosted in the UK and we’ll be looking at getting lot of UK based inbound links to the site. Hopefully this will counter any negative affect of the country specific domain. If all else fails we’ll launch something on a new domain, but we felt it was worth the risk.
