Astral Admin - Mwahahaha!
I understand that dynamic HTML is used on the site now to provide little drop down menus at the top.
This causes a problem for anyone using Mozilla based browsers who can't see them at all, but it also causes a problem for IE browsers too - the browser has to do more work when displaying the page and I find that on my PC the page often stutters when I'm trying to scroll or the page is restored or uncovered by another window.
If there is any way of living without the DHTML dropdowns it would be well worth doing, because it is not only keeping users of other browsers out of some parts of the site, it is also slowing down the site for those using the majority browser. (I've seen this worse in other sites that have really gone made with DHTML).
For those working on the site, do remember to test things on weedier machines too... sometimes things that seem fine on this years machine have problems on a PC just 2 years old!
Cheers
