In NS 4.77 for Linux, the fonts on the main page (and, as a matter of fact, throughout the site) are really SMALL and HARD TO READ. Is it possible to change the default settings to make them bigger? An update of the imagemap/menu setup would be nice. That way we could access the things we use the most quickly. Over a 56k the main page takes a while to load all the ads (the adservers are really bad about it, too) and the backed-up news. Maybe not put so many announcements, only put the announcements for that day (plus a link to all the recent news) or maybe use cookies to save user settings on how much news a given user wants displayed?
Monkeypunch'll have to get back to you on that one. We're working on that, we'll have a brand new menu soon. Newspublisher doesn't have cookie functionality (in fact, it dumps all the news into a text include... no on-demand generating of the news page), but I could easily change the amount of news displayed on the main page. I'll look into it. As for the ad servers being slow, I noticed that too, lately. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that. :/
i would suggest overworking the collapsible lists for your tech-items-page. As far as i can see the only browser that can handle them is ie > 4. The nlist.js at http://devedge.netscape.com/evangelism/ ... ibleLists/ might give you some hints how it can be done cross-browser ( ie at least for ns > 4 and ie > 4. YT dormouse
Most browsers contain the allowance to change the site font size, but thats most, you'll have to check yours
