1 The layout used for the tables is known not to behave well in Internet Explorer (although it is still readable/usable). So if you are (still) an IE user, I repeat my advice from the welcome page to use one of the more standards compliant browsers available (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari … Seamonkey, even!).
