Yes, the whole page now works, but it is a bit small.  As I said before, the
new layout is very nice and it makes Lugnet look more up-to-date, I mean the
old one looks like it is 5 years old (which it is!)  I would give and few
extra percent of space to each of the traffic report collums and take some
space away from the "read-once" paragraph.  I am really happy that some
changes are being made (and I hope Suz is still working on the front page
redesign she previewed to us last September?)

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  The old layout was outdated.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 # of messages collum is off by one.  The last number
of posts report is one line above the group it should be next to.  I know
this is a server generated code, but I would seggest having it write
individual table cells for each area of info, and since cells must align
with thier neighbor, this will eliminate the problem.

Whoops, I forgot that Internet Explorer likes to break words at hyphens.  See
if it works better for you now.  I added a 'NOWRAP' attribute in the <TD> tags.
The reason it was never an issue before is because the three (actually six)
columns could go as wide as they liked, as they were the only things in the
table and they are inherently pretty skinny.  Now, however, they're competing
with the left text column, which "wants" to go super wide.  So that's why the
other columns need 'NOWRAP'.  :-)

p.s.  I also (just now) changed the display to use Verdana at SIZE=-2
instead of SIZE=-1.  Is that better or worse?  A lot more data fits in the
listing now.
