Here's a copy-paste of what I'm looking at: Submitted 1 hour, 55 minutes ago , Expires in 27 minutes Queue Estimate: 3 minutes (Details) 2 browsers selected Mind that it has been given an estimate of 3 minutes for the entire last hour or so. It is like Zeno's tortoise, only worse. I am wondering if at this time (start of 2012) BrowserShots still works at all. Here’s a copy-paste of what I’m looking at:

Anyway, the other service provided different results, so I might ignore that IE 7 issue. I'm going to look into how popular the older versions are because 7 down gave somewhat less ideal results with that area of my layout. I came back to edit a comment, but it’s gone or not here yet.

I already have a plan to fix that (hiding/removing(with html in that case) depending on what's best for Google it & making sure I incorporate enough of the links in the sidebar - the older ones are probably less priority anyway), and I bet I can get it done before BS is ready. :-) I just found http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php and ALREADY learned that a menu-type-area on the top of my site falls apart in IE 7.

I have up to an hour and a half here.

That makes it far too easy to miss your shots! Why use this site? Oh I see now it extends it only up to 30 minutes again. That makes it far too easy to miss your shots! Why use this site?

Just the IEs = not something I can do on my own. Well, I could have discounted my own version now that I think of it, but I was lazy and didn't even check to see which one it is. I don't use IE! Haha. I, too, wanted 5. Just the IEs = not something I can do on my own.

Also, I'm using Chrome, and I don't know if that's the issue, but when I pressed extend (when it turned green) my expiry time did not increase!

I have not heard back from them and my account has not been credited with the anything. I've tried contacting them numerous time with no luck - i was simply ignored! I will never use there services again and would advice to never pay for a service they simple cannot provide. Shame on them!

They make money off ads and paid services, they should be able to afford slightly better servers. Their business model is f**ked up. Oh, and f**k all you people who are coming to it’s defense.
