No big deal between this and having to have a new browser or another browser( why not we are requested to have 2 versions of the game having 2 browsers shouldn't matter). I figure it's just a way to get rid of the bad blood :-)
I have been forced to become an inactive player and now have restricted access to the club all within the space of less than 2 weeks. Not sure this was what Jim had envisioned when he started this so many years ago and no I am not going to the Matrix forums for tech support(snobby answer). I guess it's true that old soldiers just fade away.

Earl, I feel you brother.
Yes, the windows 8 IE non support will hurt those who do not use other browsers. Yes, it seems that, though everyone else can find a work around, here at The Blitz if you don't go to Firefox or Chrome you will not be able to view the pages. I am sure Jim would not have wanted that.
For the game side. Yes, it's easy to say, "run two versions", "get a bigger monitor", "get a better system", etc. It's the mentality of computer geeks who do not understand the average player.
I have a 32" flat screen LCD TV I use as a monitor. Having a larger monitor does not help to see the tiny icons. Creating the game to play in a window already reduces the compression from the existing top and bottom tool bars.
The fact is that a computer geek thought having all the hot buttons as icons would be "just super (don't you think?)". Instead he created a true "eye sore". That does not function as intended. Instead we have the elephant designed by committee.
There should be half the icons on the bottom bar. Half. If players like hot keys ... use the hot keys.
The programmer should not use the excuse of "well everyone wanted every key"?
Who wanted the "older" "oldest" file when playing e-mail? I never heard that mentioned, begged for, or debated as a must have.
Don't feel like a dinosaur. You are not. Speak up, because if you don't they will take away your voice.
Old soldiers fade away by choice. We do not have to?
I'm in your court.
