Very nice new design Cal but I personally would prefer the 'chit chat' box to be above the login status box, the reason being I use the 'chit chat' box more often and I usually run my browser in a small window in the corner of the screen, so I have to scroll down to see if there are any new posts... which means more work for me, and I have too much to do already :-)

But then there are probably a thousand and one reasons to keep it that way around and not many people believe in conforming to the SLL standard, (Sul's Lazyness Layout).

if you click on "Customise this site" in the login box you can change the order of side boxes

Hey, hey - I have one wee issue...

once logged in I cannot see the side boxes - no customise site or anything like that. Tried in both IE & Netscape 6.

Am I blind? Is this right?
