Browsershots.org blocked by robots.txt?

Tim Kamppinen

I've used the website www.browsershots.org in the past to check how my site and customizations looked on other browsers and platforms. Well, I just tried to check out my latest customizations and got the following message:

Browsershots was blocked by www.timkphotography.com/robots.txt. Please read the FAQhttp://browsershots.org/faq#Blockedbyrobots.

So is there any chance that this website could be whitelisted? It's a valuable tool for those of us who do any sort of customizing.

Thanks for the question, I'll ask

I just discovered browsershots myself, and was trying to do some testing of my SmugMug site today when I came across the same issue. Since this post is from last July, I'm guessing that browsershots has not been white-listed.

Andy—is there any chance of changing that? Barring that—I'm open to other suggestions on how to test for Internet Explorer from a Mac, without having to purchase Windows or install other complex software.
