IE8 - Board index infringes on the banner graphic

Looking forward to the site going live !
I noticed that the navigation bar at the top of the page ( Board index < ... ) infringes on the bottom of the banner graphic when viewed in both IE8 (all the time) and Firefox (narrow windows only). No biggie - just an aesthetic thing.

Good, that is by design. I was trying to make those online/offline images go away... they were just taking up space and not really adding much value.

Thank god TGB is back (cheers for the heads up on the Aussie MCE forum)! I couldn't ever complete migrating my account on the WE site and the layout of that site, jeez was it designed by someone or did they just throw a bunch of random suggestions at a wall!!

Should you remove the green circle windows logo from the top banner, so MS can't shut you down?

Sorry, in an attempt to refresh the imageset, it reset the header back to its original image. Fixed now.

Makryger has been working hard for the good of the people;
We now have strike through working. A useful tool to strike a line through text.
In the full editor, highlight the text you want to strike and select the 'S' box, or manually start with and end the text with .

I always find that tool useful! Thanks makryger!

Peeps,
As we've had no movement in both the Vista and XP Media Center Topics, what would you like done to them? Keep them for sh*ts and giggles? Perhaps someone will ask a genuine question? Who knows. Looking for the general consensus. Poll closing a week today, Monday 27th.
TIA.
Last post
All excellent ideas... the vote is still going, but I thought I'd incorporate your ideas immediately.Still keeping the forum for now, even if it is empty, but I mushed XP and Vista together, and put it under the WMC heading.

The mails also seem to come from Rob's personal email address.

TGB.tv has a Favicon now! IE9 never played well with them, so it may not work there (unless you add to favorites), but it will work great in chrome and firefox.
Starting to feel like home yet?

Yup as you say it doesnt play nicely with IE9 but works a treat on Firefox 4!
