I agree with clipka.
I suppose that the works are still in progress.
...but the site is already good for me.

	BTW, there seems to be a bug with the lightbox effect. Seemingly 
randomly, the effect won't work (i.e the image will load as if it 
was a simple link), or worse it will try to open an animation in a 
lightbox! Unfortunately, I can't tell you more since I can't find a 
way to reproduce the problem reliably (although it has happened 
several times now).

Seen that once, too. My first wild guess was that it might have been a 
session timeout, but that's... well, a wild guess :-)

I can tell you that lightboxes will be removed when we put the next 
software release in place.  Instead, pictures will be displayed in 
another pane or window. That will be before the voting for the next round.
