Apology to VTOR readers using IE 7 plus new feature added

Uh oh, this morning it came to our attention that code from a third part stats tracking service we use at this blog called Site Meter was preventing people using the Internet Explorer 7 browser from displaying any pages at this site.

I just shared the details of the Site Meter problem at MakeYouGoHmm, but wanted to apologize to the 43% of VTOR readers according to Site Meter who couldn’t access these pages for as long as this issue has been happening. A day, two, don’t know exactly.

The Site Meter tracking code has been fixed via excellent suggestions from Luboš Motl from all pages and the cache cleared here at VTOReality.com.

If for some reason you are still experiencing the “operation aborted” error, then please clear your browser cache or try visiting a different page at VTOR. I tested in IE7 and am no longer seeing the problem after the code fix.

FriendFeed comments and ‘like’ added
On a much more positive note, yesterday support was added to every post here at VTOR for FriendFeed commenting. If you enjoy one or more posts at VTOR you can directly comment on it using your FriendFeed account without having to visit FriendFeed. We think it’s kind of handy. In fact, a friend on FriendFeed was the first to tip me off to the Site Meter tracking code issue.

If you need to know what your FriendFeed API key is that’s mentioned in the comment form just visit:

Now let’s get back to virtual worlds, gaming and the like. Enough of this site maintenance BS.
