Problems with Safari Browser

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

We’ve been watching the site stats with the new version of the Key, and Paul noticed that some Mac/Apple and Safari users are having issues.  We did quite a bit of investigating to pinpoint the problem.

*Note: This applies only to users of Macs using the Safari web browser (the default browser on a Mac)*

Some Safari (on Mac) users are having trouble filtering grade data and seeing grades.  This issue seems to have popped up when users upgraded to Safari version 4.0.2.  As such, this does not appear to be an issue with UGAKey.com  For most users, the upgrade to Safari version 4.0.3 (typically an automatic upgrade) appears to have fixed the issue.  If you haven’t upgraded to the latest version of Safari, please do so (good instructions here).

If you are using Safari version 4.0.3 and continue to have problems with UGAKey.com, please contact us immediately and include your operating system and version of Safari.  You might try using another web browser, like the free and open source Firefox, to get the full experience.

We apologize for any trouble this has caused you during drop/add and we will keep an eye on the problems.

Letter to Editor and Students from UGAKey.com Developers

Monday, August 17th, 2009

The UGAKey.com Developers had a Letter to the Editor in today’s Red and Black announcing some of the changes to UGAKey.com:

Recent changes to UGAKey.com

We would like to let all University students know of a few recent updates to UGAKey.com, the online database of course grade distributions dating back to 1999.

UGAKey.com includes syllabi for over 4000 classes, with another 2000 forthcoming before the end of drop/add, and now has better support for the Safari browser.

UGAKey.com includes class grades up to Spring 2009 for most course sections and professors, meaning you can see and use 10 years worth of grades on UGAKey.com.

As you decide on classes during fall drop/add and spring registration, don’t get caught unprepared — use UGAKey.com.

If you have any problems accessing the grade data, contact us here.
