I get "Service Temporarily Unavailable" when attempting to
contact www.irtc.org. I initially thought it was just down for
some maintenance but it has now been like this for 3 days
so I wondered if something else is the problem?

Server is still down???

I like to congratulate the winners and everybody for a very good round. Too

Seems to be up now, thanks to everyone who is doing the hard work ;)

I also have a few minor issues and suggestions:

1. When clicking on a "View Comments" link I get:
    "Internal Error MessageNotUnderstood:
     Message not understood: #isAdministrator"

2. Is it intentional that the rose thumbnail on the rebirth
    winners page has a height much larger than 75 pixels?

3. When clicking on "View Submission" for an image, you end up
    at the "pg=Description" page; when clicking on the thumnail,
    you end up at the "pg=ViewSubmission" page, which is a bit
    confusing. Also, the difference between these pages is
    minimal so I think both could use "pg=ViewSubmission".

4. If the link is retained anyway, I think using a non-breakable
    space for "View Submission" would improve the layout of the
    "View Round" page.

5. Another minor layout improvement would be to display the name
    of the artist in a style different from the other links.

6. Comments could be appended directly to the view submission page
    similar to a blog post instead of just linking to them.

7. Why is the image title shown in the overview for "View Round",
    but not on the winners page? Looks to me like these could be
    identical and probably share code on the server as well.

  The comments are also still showing only the first paragraph.

  I still think it's better to not to show the comments at all than to show
a crippled version of them, until the problem is fixed. Why cannot the
comments page be disabled completely? How hard can it be? One would think
it's a matter of a few seconds. It has been like, what, two weeks now?

And in that two weeks, not one single person has written the irtc email 
address informing us of the comment problem. We can't fix it if we don't 
know it's broke, and I for one don't regularly read this NG.

  The problem was reported in length here and David aknowledged it and
said that he would try to fix the problem. I assumed that he follows the
newsgroup.

How about some AA on the borders of the 1st/2nd/3rd badges?  It looks a bit 
old fashioned.

  Well, it has been another two weeks, and nothing has happened. I haven't
even read any comments on my own submission because I don't want to read
crippled comments.

  I understand if people are extremely busy, but can't even the busiest
person in the world spare 5 minutes of his life to disable a comments
webpage? How hard can that be?
