With both IE7 and FF, I think the text below the animation in the centre column is to wide. Another issue is the difference in column widths when viewed with FF and IE7, FF looks better, the outer columns are compressed too much in IE7. If you open the page in both browsers on the same screen, resize then so they are the same and arrange them so they are vertically one above the other, the difference is clear.

Notice the 'This site is best viewed with Firefox' in the right bottom corner of the home page :-)
Next to contributing to research we also hope to get Firefox usage up a couple of percentage points!

So making the site look odd and awkward to use for the vast majority of web users is an idea for enhancing the project? Interesting premise.

I have FF, (and Opera here, Konqueror on my Linux machine at work), installed here, (I author web pages and CHECK that they work across platforms before releasing them). I use IE7 because I prefer it.

So be it, project drops a point in my estimation.

No, not having enough people to work on it is the main reason for not focusing on the low-priority things like web site.

I was just joking about FF by the way...

Sorry Andre, must have been a bad day.

I know the web site is low priority, but it had been updated, so obviously someone was working on it. I was pointing out things which struck me as wrong. That is, after all, what this stage of the project is for.
