I tried both the current site (http://www.openbsd.org) and the proposed new site (http://greatest-ape.github.io/openbsd-site/openbsd/index.html) using a variety of OpenBSD 5.8-stable web browsers, displaying on a monitor with 96x97 pixels/inch. Sometimes one wants to have GUI web browsers share

Everybody, thanks for the constructive feedback. As for the snarky neo-luddite remarks, they were entertaining too ;-) No, I'm not a product of new-age college professors wanting to demolish the Colosseum., though HTML5 and mobile support is nice. When it comes to searching the archives, I did

I agree, we need buttons with rounded corners and ones that appear when you hover your mouse over them. Those hyperlinks in the current OpenBSD site are sharp and someone could poke their eyes out. On Wed, 18 May 2016 11:00:54 +0530 Jay Patel wrote: > I would like to see
