Please join us at Saabs United and get your daily Saab fix from Saab sources all around the world.
I have some stuff brewing for TS and need a little help.
If you’re good with search engines and stuff, I need some help with figuring out which are the most linked-to stories here at Trollhattan Saab.
And if you’re good with generating graphics and logos and stuff, I might need some help from you, too.

Why?
Trollhattan Saab has some problems. In fact, it’s been four years since I started this site and it was a case of learn-as-you-go, which means there’s been a number of mistakes made and the legacy of those mistakes is a poorly organised site with a number of technical issues that need fixing.
For example, certain people using Internet Explorer can’t see this site if there’s a Youtube video posted here. That’s a problem because I like the video medium and would like to use it more often. For some reason, the various bits of code that govern the presentation of this site cause IE to go all haywire when a Youtube video is posted and people are using IE. I’d prefer everyone gets Firefox, but what can you do?
Hence, there’s some changes coming. These won’t be band-aid solutions, though. These will be permanent fixes.
If you can help with the search and image related tasks listed above, please contact me: swade99-at-dodo.com.au (replacing the -at- with @)
Cheers.

I’d be more than happy to help out, Swade. I used to be a graphic/web designer before making the switch to teaching.

It’s not a TS problem it’s a IE/Windows problem. That browser is just crap. I know that doesn’t help but I’m offering moral support here Swade! It happens on lots of sites.

Yeah, I know. But seeing as around half of the visitors here use IE (still) I have to try and sort something out. I need to totally re-vamp things anyway so problems like that (and others) are the perfect reason to do so.
Thanks Joemama. I’ve had a few offers via email that I’m pursuing so I think things will be OK.

2-don (et al): IE 7 really isn’t that bad. One of the issues is that YouTube videos (and many flash video embeds) aren’t exactly standard.
