(...) OK so it wasn't an inadvertant layout change, then... what was wrong with the old layout? This one seems less polished somehow but without a side by side I can't quite put my finger on why. (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

I personally like the new traffic page layout. The old layout was outdated. The lugnet layout is very sterile IMHO. Anyway, I have another error report for you Todd: when traffic for the market.b-s-t forum is posted, because it line wraps, the whole (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

Yes, the whole page now works, but it is a bit small.
