notes and buy/sell/own listings to subpages that you can click up if you
want to see them.  It won't censor "x-theme sucks" for you, but it moves it
further away from the first screen.  Again, this wasn't done just because
some party pooper was writing "sucks" on some entries -- mainly it was for
speed of display and bandwidth.  Some of the pages were getting excessively
huge, especially when viewing 10 full-view-mode sets at a time.

Coincidental this should come up.  I've just started using the Opera browser on
a PC, and was dismayed to see that the Guide pages showed up as really, really
wide - the lists of members' names weren't wrapping to the screen, so the notes
and Brickwise section was on the rightmost side of this wide, wide page (wider
for some sets than others, of course) and the picture and set info centred,
also often off the screen.  Putting the name lists on a separate page solves
_that_ problem, but on the subsequent pages they still don't wrap.  No longer a
big problem but still not real nice.  Just thought I'd point it out in case
there was a quick fix.

For the record, I think all the member-related info, including the ranking,
could be a single sub-page.  As Dan said, there needs to be a link back to the
first page as well, and maybe the hierarchical links to themes (LEGO > System >
Castle > LEGOLAND Castle) too.

Lastly, could the names be in alphabetical order by last name instead of member
number?  Much easier that way to find a name in the list.

Should this be FUT .geek?

Cheers, Heather

(...) I don't like it either, especially when it shows up right in your face on a set DB page.
