Panther approaches...

Thanks for all the help as well. I've found your site invaluable.

One thought comes to mind though is revisiting some of the other hints to see if they still work under Panther.

It might be useful to have some little graphic that says "tested with Panther." I say this because I can think of several that deal with plists or the like which will likely break.

One way to do this without overwhelming Rob is to do some of the work ourselves. If we try a hint and it does or doesn't work, just say so in the comments. That way, when the next person comes along, they'll see that so-and-so says it made Panther crash (or whatever), or what they had to do to make it work with Panther.

Yes, please :). I'd love to have the time to update the 4,000+ hints in the database, but it's just not realistic. The other option is to train a couple dozen volunteers to go through the back hints and test, but that's still asking quite a lot of work from the crew.

Going forward, I'm going to do my best to test on 10.2 and 10.3 at least through year-end...

Sorry, I didn't mean to have Rob do the work. Just that perhaps we could send Rob a note that we've tested it under Panther. He could then put a "Tested for Panther" or "Not compatible with Panther" graphic on them.

Ah, that I could also do...
