Well, I just tried viewing the new site with Netscape on Solaris
(because IE is not really an option for Solaris) and the top part of
all pages looks rather bad because the search button is at least 14
pixels taller than in IE. As a result, the whole header is shifted
down and the text on the side is broken. The page looks fine in
Mozilla, but not in Netscape.
I am now posting a small screenshot showing the problem in
povray.beta-test.binaries. This is not the most appropriate group for
that, but there is no other group for posting binaries related to bug
reports and I did not want to post this in the normal p.b.images
group.

What about Search button form http://news.povray.org/ ? It works fine in my
case.

It is a bug in Netscape 4.x on Solaris. It does work without problems on
Netscape 4.x on Mac OS as well as Windows. I expect up(down?)grading to
Netscape 6.x or Mozilla will help.

order by nr

Yes, as I mentioned in my previous post I have verified that it works
with Mozilla. However, Netscape 6.x and Mozilla can be installed only
on Solaris 8 (assuming that you have root access, which was not
required for Netscape 4.x). They are not available (or not easily)
for the older Solaris 2.6 or 7. This means that these users have
(almost) no other choice.
Should I assume that the problem on the www.povray.org pages will not
be fixed?
By the way, I would not really call this a "Netscape bug" because the
HTML standard does not specify the size of the submit buttons. The
developers of IE on Windows, and Netscape on MacOS and Windows (and
maybe Opera) decided to use the same size for the buttons because they
thought that it would be more convenient for the web designers, but
this is certainly not required. Compare that with some other browsers
such as the original Mosaic or Arena or Amaya and you will see that
all of them use different sizes.

I was about to post a similar suggestion. In addition, it could be
useful to display the total number of registered users on the main
page, maybe with a separate count of those who included some public
information (a simple "select count(*) ..." or something similar)
By the way, it looks like some characters (single quote) are escaped
when they are entered in the MySQL database but are not unescaped when
the text is converted to HTML. This is visible in the additional info
provided by several people: all single quotes such as in "I'm" are
prepended with a backslash ("I\'m") in the HTML output. This is even
worse when someone attempts to edit the info later, because the
backslash is also escaped and this results in things like "I\\\'m" and
so on... I noticed this on James Taylor's page:

Yes, that would work. However, I still have to check how it performs on
large tables before it can be used.

No, but our stylesheet does, which Netscape 4.x simply ignores (like many
other things in the stylesheet) despite its supposed support for CSS1.

at least it wouldn't show all the countries with no users if
you filter them out ...
