Ruth, you've been involved in the project for a really long time - and even at one point as a developer - and these issues plague you, right? Why not dive in and try some minor tweaks with CSS and let us know what you see on that small screen? I'd love to have some feedback from you and Jacques, to the dev list, about what happens when you change this CSS entry - it would be great to have a deeper level of testing out there that helps pinpoint the problems so we can fix them.
Back to you Florin - I'm standing pat on my point - the CSS and HTML in the current trunk are so far advanced beyond what as there before (that's right inline stylind and tables don't break) that I can't even put it to words. We'll keep fixing the issues as they come up and will take this project to the next level.

Please don't let the viewing of the site at 800x600 be the determining factor here - as that is not even on the radar as a viewport size that people use these days.Maybe not for developers, but for every one person I know who uses a desktop with potentially larger "viewport sizes" as you call it, to access the Internet, I know 20 people who use laptops with small screens and small "viewports". And, those screens get smaller every day...Too bad because it is getting really hard for people like me to read all that text on such small screens.It is true that there are issues in every browser when you've bring things down to a really small level, there is a bug whichIt is not a "small" thing when we are talking about the landing page. The very first page you see when you go to the suggested link.needs to be corrected - but I would go so far as to say that the foundation you are working with in the trunk is leaps and bounds ahead of what is in either release branch. Please check out the trunk, and ask direct questions about places where you may see discrepancies. Where the project is headed - especially in contrast from where we came from - means we're trending in a positive direction.Too bad I can't attach an image or two. I have a 22 inch monitor and no matter how wide I make the browser window, the "Contact Us" link (only one level "down" from the landing page) still renders below the bottom most pixel of the right most column. I guess my "testing" criteria is a little bit more exacting than yours. These kinds of "small" rendering problems were not an issue - regardless of the browser - in older 4.x versions.I was testing this in Firefox and Safari on a MAC and am pleased with the rendering as long as you're viewing it with a viewport of over about 1190 (basically any 13" Macbook).Oh well...There I go "spitting in the wind" again :-(Cheers, Ruppert -- Tim Ruppert HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com o:801.649.6594 f:801.649.6595 On Oct 31, 2009, at 11:48 AM, Ruth Hoffman wrote:Hello Ashish:I wouldn't be so quick to encourage new users to visit this link. The 3x3 layout on the landing page still does not render correctly for at least Firefox on a MAC. Not sure about other browsers.
