At home I have no problem viewing the new format. At home I use Epiphany browser or sometimes Firefox. I have no problem viewing this new format in either of these browsers. At work however, I am forced to use Internet Explorer and at least in that browser the text is often not visible. Is anyone else having that problem?

Is it just IE6?

I have not tried to look at the forums with IE7 - perhaps someone here can let us know how it is. My employer hates IE7 for some reason and does not like it when people install alternative browsers like Firefox, Opera or, now, Chrome. At home I have Linux so I can't install IE7 to check. But, yes, the words in the forum are invisible under IE6. If my employer is any indication, al lot of people probably still use IE6. By the way, I got a chance to look at the new format under Chrome at someone's house and it looks VERY GOOD under Chrome.

I am not at work right now but I am looking at IE6 through WINE. The text itself is very readable but some of the graphics are off - not a big deal to me but it may be to other people. The Mises Crest for example has the lower third of it off center from the rest and some of the label GIFs have odd tails. Like above this box the labels FORUMS, ABOUT, HELP AND SUPPORT etc. have long tails. This is not a big deal to me but it may be to others. The important thing to me is that I can read the text, now I can. Whatever you did cleared up the text.

Thanks
