This site looks less "amiga" every day.  Good job (NOT) on the header.  I liked the previous one with Amiga font better.
Prediction: Ah what else, a.org will get polutted with UAE folks and fewer actual amiga users but hey i've said this before.;-)

Wayne,
How about adding this "Amiga" which is scanned from my cover of Commodore Amiga product catalog as logo? (adding .org to it).???  At least it's got the classic Amiga font ;-)
And it is on Amiga 2000, 4000, 500/1200 as logo.
Maybe even adding 1 or 2 of the actual amiga machines (see the 3 machines, the A1200 is already transparent).
Make it transparent on grey/white gradient background?  Just my suggestion :-P
I have the 4MB scanned version for the artists on this site ready to be emailed.

Ibrowse 2.4 "quick reply" button does not work?  "quote" seems to work.  Aweb 3.5 is the same.  The new A.org takes longer to load on than the older version on 060.  How's this for legit complaint and frustration on my part?  The "amiga" layout (the way ibrowse/aweb place out things) isn't as nice as on the old site.
Other than the few quirky users here (not using Amiga machines and not caring) thats fine. :-)
- this was posted on my A2000/060.

@GadgetMaster
Did you also read about the layout which isn't the greatest compared to old site (when viewed on amiga).  anyway i'm not having a good day, so i'm going to refrain from posting perhaps...

@Wayne
thanks for keeping up the site.
I can checkout a few things (even send photos of my screen on aweb/ibrowse) to help improve things.  The old a.org layout was better shown.  I don't mind using quote instead of quick reply etc.
I do believe that with some testing this can be improved?  (am i the only one that views this site at times on real Amiga???).  I believe, with the few improvements this site can look back the same way as the old one even on Amiga.

There is a proper place to report site issues.

As mentioned before, quick reply uses Javascript as do modern browsers.

It's not the sites fault if an old browser cant use some of the more modern features. Besides there is always the alternative. Use normal reply.

Why complain about a feature that is just an optional extra. I never use quick reply. You don't need it.

There's your whole problem, right there. What you need is a cheap and cheerful 200 quid PC just for web browsing. Even a machine of that price range has orders of magnitude more processing and image rasterizing power than the machine you are using. It'll run a modern browser quite happily.

@Karlos
I do have a cheap peecee.   But I do enjoy surfing the net on my Amiga and my Amiga is cheerful.
Besides, have you viewed this site on Amiga?  It's not like a lot of things are missing, just some improvements there and there and it will look as decent as the old site?  I also have had "layout" display issue on my peecee, but perhaps thats due to fact I refuse to update my Mozilla firefox.  I did send a screenshot of that to wayne though.  anyway if you're asking for feedback im sending it and willing to send / test things in order to improve things.  unless you're done with it.

@Karlos
How about Firefox 1.0.4 having display issues? (I can email the screenshot)  During the first tests things seem to display fine.  Upgradign the browser means upgrading the entire linux distro, and i don't have the time for that.  Also, how does one show all the a.org postings I made in the past? (used to be displayed on bottom on the old a.org).  This was an easy way to track topics.

@Wayne
ok, I guess few individuals use Amiga to surf.  :-(
7 out of 1000 only??  The Aweb and Ibrowse have had some updates, so come on its not 1993 browser.
I understand your concerns, but can't we all be happy no matter what machines we are on?  (not like i'm asking 100% compatibility on Amiga).
Thanks for keeping up the site for so many years.
