Ditto. I really don't mean to insult anyone, but the current design leaves a lot
to be desired. I know that content is king on a website like this, but a nice
design only serves to bolster that, and with PHP/Perl/$ETC, you only need one
set of templates on the server. It also cuts admin work considerably - need a
new section? add it to the template.

I really can't understand this bias against client side scripting. It's quite
annoying in this day and age, when the percentage of users running < v4
equivalents is miniscule.

Cross browser is as simple as that. It's not rocket-science.
