It also seems that the 'User of the day' is stuck? Ya i fixed the user of the day for tomorrow. But it appears that people using Internet Explorer are the only ones who experience this. All other browsers render the page correctly. It's supposed to be split evenly in the middle. I'll take a look into this.

And bump the placement of 'About MW' below the picture. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 2745 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Would it be possible to have an always visible menu across the top of the site similar to Cosmo and Seti? I think that would make it easier to navigate around the site.

It does look good in Netscape. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 2825 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The latest version of the message board software would help. Instead of a single link to the home page at the bottom, it now includes links to the home page, the message boards, and the account page.

I didn't upgrade this file with the BOINC upgrade though because it contains a bunch of project specific stuff. I think that was the only thing that changed in it though, and it should be all set now.
