our news

we have discovered that the latest versions of various browsers (specifically Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox and Konqueror), on some machines, are doing very strange things to this site. All our code validates, and displays fine in IE on Windows, but there is a display bug in the latest Gecko browsers which we are trying to nail down

it's very frustrating, as it works on some of our machines here, and not on others!

for more details see our browser page.
