I'm still using Internet Explorer 6.0. Is that a problem?

posted on Mar 25, 2011
Exware Solutions has joined the world-wide movement to phase out usage of the old Internet Explorer 6 web browser. Newer browsers are faster, safer and provide a much better browsing experience. Even Microsoft is encouraging users to switch away from IE6, and the software giant has created a website www.ie6countdown.com to spread that message. In North America, IE6 usage is down to around 3% of all browsers, and falling.

Exware will continue to ensure that our client websites remain functional for IE6 users, however we are dropping IE6 from our list of fully supported browsers. This means that the look and feel of some websites may differ in IE6 compared with newer browser, and visual imperfections may be present due to IE6's more primitive feature set and lack of support for modern web standards.

This step forward will open the door for better website features in the future, while reducing development time. And as more and more users move away from IE6, support issues will be reduced.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at support@exware.com.

Why don't my images show up?

posted on Mar 25, 2011

Images can be in CMYK or RGB color space format. You can get more information on color spaces by clicking here.

Normally web images are saved with RBG color space and images meant for offset printing are saved with CMYK color space. Some systems only support RGB color space images, not CMYK images so you need to convert your image(s) to RGB format in this case.

  • To determine an image's color space go to: regex.info/exif.cgi
  • To convert an image from CMYK to the RGB color space you can use this free online tool: www.pixlr.com/editor/
    • Just open your image and save it as .jpg - this will automatically save it in RGB color space.
