This is the kind of cosmetic enhancement which we might wish to do before 
the freeze tomorrow if anyone is interested in tackling it.

Please don't commit anything until you know it works though.

Not really a "feature"...

If any of the dev team are reading this (or if someone could plz pass it
on... :)

I think the 'Network Error' page should be changed. You know, the one
that you get when Freenet can't find the information you're looking for.

Instead it should read: "Sorry I can't find it." Then have a friendly
simple explanation of what's happened and what to do. It would be so much
better.

And why not make it look a little prettier with a nice Arial font or
something? Perhaps slightly inkeeping with the style of the new funky
gateway page?

Seeing "NETWORK ERROR" in a default font all the time is *so* off putting
to new users. Especially non-techy ones. Seeing that all the time would
make some users conclude that freenet simply doesn't work.

(and how about a link on that page back to the Freedom Engine and/or the
gateway page?)
