On of our members has had some issues browsing these pages with the Safari web browser, I'm looking into this and will try and sort out a tech update. I will let you know as soon as I get anywhere.

With the proliferation of sections both on the main site and here in the forums, I was thinking that a bit of re-organisation might be called for.
On the main site, I wonder if the Children of Earth and Forums/Community links might not be better in a more prominent position, maybe just under the Legal link. I'd also still like to see an 'Updates' section on the front page. I like the scrolling news on the forums, but new visitors won't see that until they start clicking on links.
The forums are now so busy its getting hard to sift through them. Could they be pre-emptively organised into smaller subsections, so they'll be easier to navigate? I was thinking along the lines of CotI:
Site Issues Suggest a Topic, Updates, Announcements, etc.
Children of Earth Everything to do with COE: Playtest, Rules, Settings, whatever, all in one place.
Traveller Versions The official published versions.
General Starport Bar, Hiring Hall, General Discussions, etc.
Submissions Fully-fledged submissions and members' playtest material.
Alternate Universes Anything to to with members' ATUs, e.g. Golan's Solar Triumvirate.
These are just ideas, others might come up with better categories and titles. All IMHO, of course, I might be the only one obsessing over organisational issues ...

Hmmm, To be honest, this site has grown quicker than I thought it would, which is a good thing so a re-organization may be in order. I'll wait and see what the consensus is from other members before having a shake up, as for the forum links - I can move that and will do so today..
One thing I must complain about is that the font size on this size is microscopic... I have to adjust the default font size on my browsers (Firefox and IE) up several notches to read it. Any chance on making the default size bigger?
As you guys should have noticed by now, we are now operating in larger print/font sizes, it doesn't lookas neat, but it's more functional and less strain on the eyes. No need to resize your browser.
