Announcements
- New Section Requests: Requests for new Vista sections are now being processed.
- Attention Mac Users: Since an update to Java on the Mac this past Summer, the "My Computer" icon in the File Browser has been replaced by a white box with a red X. While we wait for a working Java update to fix the issue, Mac users can click to the right of the white box to use the File Browser feature as normal. [Last Updated 12/17/2009]
