Got lost in the front page discussion, ( very interesting,guys) so thought I'd put this here - and its ok if you move it. I notice that the header for latest articles has become two lines and is now an odd shape - I think Jema mentioned something about having problems cos of the font and banner size. It does look a bit odd as it is though. As a way round it could we think of a different heading for that section that only needed one word or less letters!

like...... ummm....

Projects or....

ummm...

well we could coin a new phrase couldn't we?

what do you think?

Internet Explorer ( version 6.0 on an XP machine) on my browser latest articles appears as a two line square box as though its been pasted on top of the curved heading banner. Sorry!

What I have noticed though is there's a dark green border all the way round the page in Opera

If style are being changed a page refresh is often the answer and i'm rather relieved it worked

sorry jem it's 2 lines for me in ie on my laptop....

...and while I'm at it, how come faq, search and memberlist are in the black bar, profile, yhnnm and log out are below it?

Is there some sort of mirror where we could iron all this out and then make it public when it's fixed?

And can the edit message me made smaller (or different to the message itself)

And I like the alternating colours, but how come there's a LH white line in the light posts but not the dark ones?

Well spotted, looks a bit odd now you've pointed it out.
