Either because your browser sucks because you’ve been lazy and haven’t upgraded to a better browser yet, or you have bad artistic taste. I’ve designed this site the way I want to, and I’ve even been nice about making it look the way I intended in the majority of Internet browsers out there (I’m looking at you, IE). That said, I didn’t test the site in old browsers because no one should use them; they’re old, buggy, and inferior in every way to modern GUI browsers.
I suggest that you go get this better browser immediately if you don’t already have it.
For the record, I’m also going to point out that whenever the site design changes, I’m very moody about testing in browsers that I don’t use. This means that if you’re using an obscure browser, or a dead browser, there may be problems with the site that I’ll never know about because they are caused by your browser rather than my code. The major exception, of course, is Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, which I never use but do test in. Even there, however, there may be problems that will take some time to resolve, so as long as things are generally readable, I’m not going to worry about it too much.
As I said previously, you really should be using a better browser by now, anyway.
