    I was going to suggest this a while back, but forgot to.

    I tend to browse the forums more than the main site so I go into the articles and news section and see what new articles are in there.

    Most of them just have the title and a link, any chance of a little description and a picture. It would make it much easier to see what its all about.

    Just an idea :)

    There is a FF plugin that when you rollover a link will popup a little version of the page...

    That's all fine and dandy, for those of us who use FF Doug... but there are still folks who prefer to use - or are forced to use (i.e. at work) IE :idea:

    I am one of those people, but since the site is designed to be front page first then forum I can see why this kind of thing hasn't been considered in the past.

    Firefox doesn't use the proxy settings from Group Policy, so you might have been bypassing the filtering/logging...

    nope, it was set to use the proxy. They only detected it when they put software on that blocked use of any USB key. Blocked use of CDs and reboots the machines when other discs are used.

    Didn't know about that, but I'd still like to see the info in the post. Just that way everyone can see it :)
