Still using IE6? – Upgrade! – AKIS no longer support IE6

AKIS would like to inform all clients that we no longer support Internet Explorer 6.0.  It is over 9 years old and does not support the latest web standards. This restricts us from using the latest web development technology when developing new websites.

Are you still using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6?  Why?!  It’s over 9 years old, outdated and poses a security risk – you really need to upgrade to a modern browser which supports the latest web features and gives you better online security (e.g. IE8, Firefox 3, Google Chrome).  Even Microsoft themselves have urged its customers to upgrade to its Internet Explorer 8.

Getting websites to look identical in all browsers?

It is not going to happen, so don’t waste your time!  We noticed a Twitter tweet today that is worth remembering – whether you are a client or a designer – “Web sites cannot, need not and should not look the same in all browsers.“ Good advice, but remember while they don’t need to look the same, you still need to make sure they are operational and work without bugs or layout faults in all browsers.

RoundCube Webmail Bug – Known Issue

It has come to our attention that sometimes the email list/inbox doesn’t refresh (i.e. doesn’t show the new emails) when using the RoundCube webmail interface.  Even if clicking “Check for new email” nothing new appears and only when the user clicks on a different folder and then moves back, does the new email become visible.  This is a bug known by the RoundCube developers and not something we at AKIS have any control over (it’s a 3rd party product supplied with your hosting cPanel).  Until such time as the RoundCube developers release a fix, anyone using RoundCube as their only means of email should follow the above process to check their mail (or use Horde).

New “2010″ Website & Packages Launched

Our brand new look website is here – hope you like it.  It’s built on the same core CMS system as we’re now offering clients to show we practice what we preach!

It’s been a busy few weeks in the run up to this launch and a frantic last few hours tonight putting the finishing touches on it and debugging some of the inevitable last minute ‘glitches’ – which is why it’s 2.20am as I write this!

The banners below summarise the new packages, but have a look around the site to see what’s new (click ‘read more’)…
