Guys,



Over the next 24 hours the site should be undergoing the upgrade. Not sure how the skin (look feel) will be effected, I guess we will see. I am loading the newest version of the software so all of the broken picture/file format problems on the various browsers should be fixed. Anyway, thanks for your continued support!

Just curious and trying to help support my favorite website.

Hey well done! everything works Firefox on Mac/Intel, except the videos.



When I view them, there is a 'Download Plugin' icon, when I click that, I get 'no plugin found' 'text/plain' What format are the videos in?

The 3 files that were uploaded are Windows Media Player you may need to get the plug in for these files on Firefox's website. In the future Quick Time Files can be uploaded as an alternative video format.
