Text is a little more basic on my screen, but if it's helping everyone else deal with it then it's great. All works for me, but it did yesterday and before too.

What do you mean by text being basic. Are we talking fonts? I can change those things....

Yeah, the font seems more "basic" - not a bad thing, just different. Ya know?

I think what is making me think it looks more that way (when I actually look and think about it for a bit) is that the header topics/options are all condensed to take up the left 2/3 of my top bar instead of being spaced out across the whole of it (like it was earlier in the week). Not a big thing and definitely not a problem. Just trying to put my finger on what looks askew...

i actually like the choice of fonts for the new menus - changing them to bold and to upper/lower case helps unify the site's look by matching the same font used throughout the site. before, the all-caps, unbold, spaced-way-out sort of washed away imho, and didn't tie together with the other fonts on the page...

A question. I have been getting PM's, but i allways come here through the main/home page. Shouldnt the envelope on the right top corner say something like new message? i put the mous over it and it reads "no messages" eyt i click on it and new messages were found.. Is this supposed to be like this?


Also i have a person saying they cant use any buttons except the FORUM one. He is on a MAC. Is this right? Or MAC users can check out the site?
Space for rent. Please pm/email me. Thanks

THe pm icon changed when you have new messages but that only means "since the last time you checked". So if you click on the email links or use the popup option, you may never see it. It does not refer to how many onread messages there are.

The person with the browser problem should contact me so I can try to help them.

Here's the error message that came up in the popup when I tried that link using IE6:
DropDownMenuX.init(1) failed. Element 'menu1' does not exist.
