features

Just a little consistency problem: on the Features page, the article titles and blurbs are touching the edge of the box, while for the other sections' pages the titles and blurbs are kind of tabbed inward in the box...I wish I could physically show you because I know I'm not describing it well...

Oh, and also, for the toolbar at the top of the page (with Home, Features, etc): the black outline of the box is not aligned with the non-outlined box it is contained in. It may be my computer, but I don't know...

And the Feedback link in the toolbar is on a separate line instead of being on the same line as the other links. Thank you Six!

Hmm... replying to features

You're right about the features bit, fixed that. Good eye, thanks.

The other two problems aren't coming up in Safari or Camino or Firefox...looks like they're browser-specific. I'll add a "if you are not using Firefox it is not my problem" thing somewhere :-P
