Web Slice up your life!

Last week the release candidate of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) was released and it contains a nice new feature known as a web slice.

Needless to say, a few days after this release, Web Teams has been enhanced to take advantage of this. :)

Please note, you must be using IE8 to take advantage of this functionality.

Should you be using IE8, you'll notice that when you hover your mouse over the top header on a team's home page or on a player page you'll get a green box appear. Click on the green square and you'll be prompted to add the page as web slice.

The screenshots below show this:

Once added as web slices then you can quickly access a "slice" of this page by clicking the button to the top of your browser. In addition, when the page is updated, the button will appear with bold text.

The screenshots below show the web slices being activated by the user even though they are not on the Web Teams site.

All feedback appreciated and we hope those trying out IE8 like this new feature!
