Re: [tlug] Feedback needed (i.e., website design): KISS

[Daniel Son <dsong@example.com>]

Thanks for the comments. I wonder which version of Konqueror you use. I 
couldn't reproduce it with the version I have, neither shifted layer, 
nor missing categories list.  And I have the old one, that came with 
Suse enterprise 9. The only link that is there and doesn't work is FAQ.

Lynx will not work because of extensive use of XMLHttpRequest. Other 
comments are taken into the account.

Thanks a lot again.
