Hello.

When I use Safari on Mac and Chrome on Windows 7, I have no issue seeing the GameTracker banners on our home page.

But when I use the newest version of Internet Explorer on Windows 7, the GameTracker banners on our homepage do not load. Perhaps it is some security setting in Internet Explorer or update to the GameTracker code? I have gone into the Internet Explorer security settings and lowered everything (even disabled as a test) and I also added gametracker to the trusted websites, but I still have the same issue. I also grabbed the banner code again (in case it has been updated) but that did not work either. Im not sure what else to do to get the GameTracker banners to work properly for players who use Internet Explorer.

This is what I see for our four (4) GameTracker banners at www.IAOFF.com when using Internet Explorer for Windows 7:


The webpage cannot be found
 
  HTTP 400 
 
Most likely causes:
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
 
What you can try:
 
  Retype the address. 
  Go back to the previous page.  
 
  Go to  and look for the information you want.

This error (HTTP 400 Bad Request) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the web server, but the webpage could not be found because of a problem with the address.
For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

Try using the proper url for the iFrame src. Recreate your banner on GT and re-add the code for each.

I already re-created the banner for each. Same issue.

I think it is an issue exclusive to Internet Explorer.

Here's what a friend of mine said about it when I asked him if he saw the same thing with IE:

Same issue here. IE is is not parsing correctly.

&showMap=1¤tPlayersHeight=100

Should be:

&showMap=1[ampersand]currentPlayersHeight=100

Where [ampersand] is the actual ampersand sign.
IE is parsing [ampersand]current to [weirdsign]t

Maybe you can replace the banner code with a version that doesn't need (all of the) URL parameters. Could be that some of them can be omitted because they are set to default anyway.



Do you have different code or another solution that I can try, as suggested by my friend or is there not much we can do about an IE issue?

I figured out how to fix this issue.

I took the full URL and shortened it at http://www.shorturl.com and then I replaced the full url with the shortened url in the code.

&current is parsed incorrectly and becomes ¤t in the full url for whatever reason, which is why it won't display properly in Internet Explorer.

It works now. Thanks.

My suggestion is what likely fixed it for you. You were not using cache.www which is why I suggested you re copy it. I can see you decided to use the proper version in the short url.

I always have to remove the cache. from the link because it always causes the banners to not show on my website when it is at the beginning of the link.

The short url itself does not have the cache. in front because it won't work and it gives me an empty horizontal rectangle instead of the proper vertical banner. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

But Im glad the Internet Explorer users can now see my gametracker banners again.
