I'm sure there are spell checkers for the other browsers too. I use IESpell on every post.. It's great. Ironically the only word it caught on this post was "iespell".  |

I like this much better. Hopefully, it will add a little vibrancy to the site.
I would consider expanding the size of the DemocraticUnderground.com banner/button in the upper left of the screen. The real estate is available, and as it is, our "branding" is overwhelmed by our content. It should be just a little more obvious. But that is just a quibble. Good job! |

46. What I did was navigate away from the Home Page to a different page, and then back again.
|
It stayed the same.
BUT!!!! I have just now hit refresh on the Home Page, and - voila! - the "Latest Breaking News" section is indeed appearing as a column to the right of the "Pic of the Moment". I am convinced that there is no technical explanation for this, and that the problem was corrected solely through your awesome mental powers decreeing that it should be so. |
