(...) Great work! About the search button question - I think that it would be a good idea to have a button, some people might feel lost without one. It's better to have an extra way to do something than to not have enough. A small suggestion: have a (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

Suz: I'll start small and work my way in... While it's not a big issue - the use of CSS could help y'all maintain uniformity of appearance across all the pages of the site with a small, reusable bit of "code" -- but then again, I don't really see a (...)

As far as I can tell, you are advocating BAD DESIGN as something that will somehow benefit new users -- in which case, I have to strongly disagree. Good design choices are to everyone's (...)

<snipped> This is truely an interesting subject. Can a fan related site become too professional?
