    Clevus, thank you! It was apparently broken for months for anyone using IE6. I believe I have fixed it now, though people may need to clear their cache to see it.

    For those who thought my “More” menu button was just empty, it should open a dropdown menu with more options.

    BTW, I highly recommend anyone using IE6 upgrade. IE6 is primitive, is unbearably slow, leaks memory, crashes frequently, and displays many websites incorrectly. IE7 is much better, and Firefox is much, much better.

      I agree completely. IE6 acts completely different than most moden browsers when it comes to CSS. With the release of IE8.0 many sites have been modified to keep them working from 7 to 8 but in the process things may get broken in IE6 without anyone noticing, as was the case when our dev team at CDM Media recently updated our cto telecomsummit site. We didnt catch the bug untill 3 days after the new site went up to production. spacer

    Rob,
    An incosequential suggestion, or perhaps it is once again due to my use of IE6 In the comments, the date that a comment is posted appears as a very light grey color that my eyes just refuse to let me see. Is there anyway that this text can be darkened up a bit?

    Any info on the Hypercube lawsuit? Does it have any foundation and what could it do to Level 3 if they do lose the lawsuit in terms of their business model. Is Level 3 very aggresive with other carriers like this?

        GX is suing XO for numerous employees ignoring non-competes in terms of accounts and executives taking employees with them. A nasty legal fight has been going on for months.

          Who says? I searched all online databases of litigation and can find some things related to XO and or GX but nothing with both. Do you have a link to a court document to back up your claim? Or is this another baseless claim ?
