No problems to report, just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you very much for devoting your time and expertise into making this the most enjoyable site I visit every day.

The "Sending A Wave" page www.fireflyfans.net/firecaststation.aspx?sid=8 always gives me an error. ( To those who forgot, Firecasts, a list of Firefly podcasts, is at www.fireflyfans.net/firecasts.aspx )

Maybe better would be to send "Sending A Wave" podcast listeners to either http://sendingawave.wordpress.com/ or directly to iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/sending-wave-uk-firefly-serenity/i

That could be easier than hacking sendingawaveuk.xml

Hi Haken! The site went from full screen to having a 1 1/4 inch margin on both sides. I mean it looks alright, nothing missing, is this what you were shooting for? It's the new site using Firefox.

The site's page is now centered and uses the standard 960px width that everyone seems to be using, which is why you now see a 1.25" margin on both sides. It is an attempt to standardize the website's layout so that it looks the same across all current major browsers and platforms including those on mobile devices. There are advantages to using the standard 960px width. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it, but for now that'll be baseline I'll be working from.

It looks like the sendingawave.co.uk URL is no longer valid. I'll see if there is a way to grab the feeds from their other URLs.

I'm using Firefox and there is no margin on the left and only about a .25" margin on the right.

Is it worth making replacement banners? What size?

For comparison, these examples are 960 x 180 pixels (5.33 ratio) and the original 1300 x 180 pixels (7.22 ratio) banners:

Probably not at the moment. Let's keep the ones we have for now. I can always resize the banners using HTML/CSS and see how that looks first.

The new width might be a little problematic. I've seen a few stretched posts where the words now disappear off the edge of the frame. (For example: http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=53223&mid=9
13073#913073 ) Seems to mostly be an issue when a video (or sometimes an image) is included in a quote; it seems the indent plus the width of a youtube video won't fit in the frame.

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

This has been corrected.

To solemnly commemorate today when this site switched to 960 x 180 banners, I post a banner in 256 shades of gray (or grey, if you swing that way).

Hi Haken. Happy Thanksgiving.

I had the problem where the text runz past the border agen. (Enthuziazm Fail topic). I thot you fixed that.

But, more important than that, an ongoing irritant iz the painfully slow paje loading cauzed by social media stuff.

You go to a topic and haf to wait for twitter, facebook, gibldygoglz etc etc etc to figure out who you are befor you can click on anything. Not so bad if therez only 1 paje, but wen therez 2 or more and you hav no intention uv reading the old stuff on paje 1, all you can do iz twiddle your thumz till you can get to the most resent paje.

If you can add the paje list to the topic hedingz in the main catagory so we can directly click on the most resent or any wun we want it woud save everybody a bunch uv time.

Also, az I'm sure I'v mentioned befor, the email notification duznt work.

These 2 problems seem to be consistently present. Should we be mentioning them whenever we notice them?

Can you provide a link to the page where I can see this happening? Or maybe a screenshot?
