Hi Levi,

Looks stable in Safari 1.2.4 and Mac/Firefox but the news inner containers
are missing their backgrounds in Mac/IE5.2.8. I can send screenshots offlist
if needed.

The other comments are accessibility ones so take them as you wish - they
may not be part of the mission for this site's audience.

1. The continuous scrolling animated text is very irritating and makes it
hard to read the text on the page - the eye is constantly being distracted.
This may not matter to the target audience coming to your site, but for
people with reading difficulties, this could present an accessibility
barrier. It could also be considered a usability issue. If it irritates
people, and they find it distracting, then it may be worth addressing.

2. If people do not have flash, do they have any way of navigating the site
at all? If accessibility to a wider audience is considered important (and
from the topic this may not be the case) then a non-flash navigation option
might be worthwhile.

3. the flash text is small and hard to read. While you have done a great job
of allowing the content to scale, and maintain layout consistency, these
small navigation buttons remain extremely small. This could have an impact
on users with even mild vision impairment.

4. Finally, again this may be irrelevant for this site, it doesn't work well
on a text-browser or screen reader. You get the following information:

"sorry dude, your browser doesn't support Iframes.
sorry dude, your browser doesn't support Iframes.
image image image image image image image"

If nothing else, a null or blank alt attribute would be better than an alt
attribute with "image", as this wouldn't be read out aloud to screen reader
users.
