Well you can have some if you want to send me your address. I'm afraid I lost yours when I cleaned up.

Is Firefox a better browser than IE (espescially on this site)? If you think so, what are its advantages. I'm thinking about downloading it but would appreciate some input before I do all that.
I've noticed that some sites recommend Firefox. You guys have never steered me wrong.

Firefox is an excellent browser, and it's what I recommend. It's easy to test drive, if you just want to download it and take it for a spin. Firefox has been faster than IE at security enhancements and new features, and with add-ons you can often improve what you need to do and improve your browsing experience.

This site should work similarly in all modern browsers. so no need to switch just for here.

I haven't used IE since some people here recommended Firefox about 3-4 years ago. Its been nothing short of great since then.

Banned User Symbolism

UT, in some forums the administration uses their position titles as user titles and color codes them for emphasis (e.g. Administrator, Moderator).

Could we, for banned users, distinguish between those who voluntary terminated their participation and those who were involuntarily terminated? The two rationales for banning are very different. If you have the ability, please consider putting the word "Banned" in a color other than black for those who requested that status.

Nice idea. Or maybe a different phrase ... "on gardening leave" or "having a nice cup of tea and a lie down".

Thanks for the input. Most people have leaned toward firefox since I've been checking. I will give it a whirl this eve.

It's a good idea NB, but right now all users to into the same banned box no matter what, so I'm not sure there's a way. If there was, I'd add text to it too: "banned by request" or some such.

Oh! There was a way, and it's actually kind of easy.

Although once in a while all banned users are purged, so their status changes to just gone.

When I'm at home, to get to the cellar, I just type "cellar" in the google toolbar, and then come here from the search results.

Why does Google warn me this morning that the Cellar is evil? I've never seen this before.
