Hi Tony, It's not recognised by Mozilla-based browsers either (I'm using a UNIX system so IE really isn't an option). I guess you used an IE6 specific feature? It's really frustrating that you can't see the site :( -Anne (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I believe the style sheet function is not reconized by IE 5. I use a stylesheet format that has an overflow scrollbox. I will probably never use it again because many other people have mentioned it as well. Oh well you live and you learn, right! out (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mechastruct Contest Winners
 
Tony, When I go to the website, I can't get the scroll function to work in the window with the winners listed. I don't know if this is due to my system (Macintosh, Internet Explorer 5) or an error with the site itself. Anyway, I can only get to the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Delurk: The Black and Pointed Spacecraft
 
Welcome to the Void! An interesting design. It truly does have an alien feel to it. I am particuliarly fond of the trailing black canard....it adds to the organic nature the backstory alludes to.

Hey Jamie, the arms are actually pretty highly posable. the sholder rotation is the best and it is strong. The elbow needs a little saran wrap on the end of the anntena ball to make it nice and stiff, but now it can hold those huge guns! As for (...)

Wow. This is really cool stuff - the research is evident in the believability of the backstories. And the mecha suits are cool - great use of antennas.
