I don't know, maybe now that my main development for version 1 is done, I'll try to get windows and IE8 working in a virtual machine and have a crack at it.

My problem is, I spend 100% of my time making the site work just with well-behaved browsers. I don't have any time left over for catering to IE's eccentricities... I really can't program and manage Igolocal AND make it work with IE, I don't have the time.
Sorry!
I don't know what the particular IE problem is that prevents the site from running, but unless you are really set on running all of this alone, I am sure people could pitch in and help if you ask. As a web developer I have to constantly fight with IE quirks (and Safari quirks, and Firefox quirks, and Opera quirks, and all that) - its painful but usually not very hard to deal with. You have a great idea, but if you shutting out 60% of potential users, you sort-of make it unworkable...

Might want to take the easy way and explore this:
http://evolt.org/Google-Chrome-for-Internet-Explorerhttp://www.chromeextensions.org/utilities/ie-tab/Didn't try it myself, but I think it would help.
There are other solutions like that out there, from what I know.
Good luck, and holler if you need help.

feature request: being notified by mail if a new player appears in a certain distance at a certain rank range.
I'm already refreshing like a madman

This will be implemented - it was one of the first ideas I had with the system, but other features kept on pushing it to the back.
Hopefully, next minor release you'll see this.
Refreshing like a madman... hmmm I need to let people do that without reloading the whole page. Great, more work for me

It's coming. I have to add it myself though - phpBB doesn't give me that for free.

Hey,
great idea, already registered. Besides the AGA e-journal you should write to local go organizations; I'll write to the german one
Cheers,
Michael

Me too.
And I'm all lonely up here in Montana.
I'll give a shout out to the local group of Go players I know. None of them are on L19 (as far as I know).
