We had a small meltdown (and by "small meltdown" I mean catastrophic database crash) but we should be okay now.
We will be cruel to Pitt.  And through our cruelty they will know who we are.  And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.  And Pitt won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands and our boot heels and the edge of our knives.  And Pitt will be sickened by us.  And Pitt will talk about us.  And Pitt will fear us.

If you only knew Aph.  It takes a LOT to get me worried about programming and/or a database errors but I was near a full panic.

The current layout is temporary.  I know people using monitors that are 1024x768 or less have the far right side of the screen cut off.  Don't panic.  It'll get fixed shortly.

Ultimately 1024x768 will be the smallest resolution that will display the site "correctly" - that is, a whole page without scrolling left to right.

Hey mobile users - you ready for a much needed update??  It's coming tomorrow.  Get ready for...full blown handheld goodness, part deux.  :paranoid:

Changed the Spoiler Alert from a hover to a clickable button.  Will make it less likely to accidently roll over a spoiler.

Yep Storm, the mobile site is going to do weird things for the next 30 minutes or so.

As I posted in the handheld thread, the new mobile site is up.  I'm pretty pleased with it so far but I look forward to hearing what our mobile users think of it.

Site still lagging at times after an action then kicked off. Is this going to change Kevin?

It is.  It has to.  I'm working with the host to see what's going on and what needs to happen to fix it.  I have a couple options lined up but it needs resolved as quickly as possible.

Just came on the see if I had been the only one with having display problems.

By the way, as always, really appreciate all that you and the rest have to do to keep up the site. (On your own time, no less) :)
