Screenshots???

No problem on my firefox - I brought up both in 1.5.0.11 & IE 6 (I refuse 
to install 7...) and both look graphically identical, with IE 6 adding 
(maybe) 1 extra pixel between the cells, as the boxes (nearly full depth at 
1280x1024) are very slightly _lower_ in IE6. That's the *only* difference I 
can see; and visually both are stunning.

In defence of one thing: IIF PHP-Nuke (I haven't run it in a while) are 
using MS-specific HTML attributes that are not part of the IETF HTML 
standard, then Firefox *should* ignore them, IMHO... just as IE should (and 
did) ignore the (then) Netscape-specific non-standard HTML attributes.

This firefox user doesn't see them.

Which flavor/version? There's more branches to PHP-Nuke then Carter has 
little liver pills... ;-)

If you'd like screen shots, I can post 'em. BTW, this is on Winders XP Pro; 
I can test with Winders 2K & Linux when I get home...

Very nice. I must say that personally, the 'search' function got a little 
too lost for me with all the alphablended stuff around (I actually noticed 
the white box with "whathaheckizat?" going thru my mind long before I 
noticed the 'search' string above it) =-=-= It's pretty, and I'm not saying 
change it, but _for me_ it gave me a double-take. However, I'm a CLI guy & 
my favorite game is _still_ Rogue...

Also, do we need to rebuild user accounts?

Thanks for a beautiful site,
