Website Update, Update

I think I have all the "oops" bugs fixed right now. Been doing some minor tweaks to the community page to help improve work-flow, it is still a work in progress and I am open to suggestions (even dividing it into multiple pages). It is a tough problem because everybody uses it a little differently and there is so much data to display.
The plan is to come back from the holidays and give some love to the rest of the site. We have not prioritized the list yet so your suggestions here are very important. Product, Solutions and Training pages will be flushed out too.
I will be out of the office through new years, so no site updates until 2006!

FYI The Tabs on the community page should remember the last active tab, as that information is stored as a cookie.

What I normally do is
1. Search for "a* path finding"
2. then select the link http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=8531
And soon afterwards it is in complete runaway.

I have a problem that often the webpage starts to eat clock cycles. When I view this resource it sometimes drives the cpu usage to 100 %. I am using Firefox 1.5 and I tested it also in Internet Explorer 6.0. I have not found out what causes it. But it is related to the web page.What I normally do is

Sounds like open tags (<-- unlikely but possible) or an error in the .htaccess file, specifically with mod_rewrite.

1) Fixing the large fonts losing the '...more link' in the boxes problem
2) For putting a link to unread posts up top next to the What New header
3) For doing something about the bandwidth usage... Not too sure what you did, but on dialup the community page is now downright zippy. :)
Some feedback on Firefox 1.5 and IE6 XP
1) The Whats New box doesn't fit to the left of the snapshot box, so it drops down. This seems to be tab header size problem (i.e. the additional space taken up by the 'new' graphic). Sympathies though, cross-browser css is a swine.
2) The 'new' graphic on tabs doesn't show on ie6 on XP.
Good work. Overall a thumbs up for the update to the website update!
Edit: I can't seem to find where to edit my Forum subscriptions? Somewhere off the My account page?

This is my suggestion, a print version of the blogs, somtimes i dont get time to read them online so I regularly print them out and read when I am at work. It would therefore be handy to have a button to print the blogs out, like you can for emails.-James.

Matthew, click on forums, and look at the top of the page for the link to edit your subsciptions. Took me a bit of hunting to find it the other day as well.

Sorry for double posting - fell free to delete my first post in "Major update in hour" but It's late and I didn't see that there is one more blog from you....sorry.
Anyway here it is:
I have small request. Can you put back that "Teach me how" link where I could just copy and paste commands for posting images, links...for example "["url"]"...I can't remember all of them and that was really helpfull.

I use Firefox almost exclusively, and AFAIK, nothing is ever lost/misplaced.
