Hang on. I'm processing 1.5m again!!!!

I'll PM Gary and Max.

There was a ~10% reduction in the # of candidates. It was significant so we updated all of the servers.

Updated version of the NPLB stat site has been deployed

CSS3 changes completed
HTML5 changes completed (except for one single anchor I have left for later)
Page filtering fixed
Page sorting fixed
a bucket load of syntax errors have been tossed out in the gutter
Some admin security & page changes completed
Added the server status page so we can see ports that are current but not active
Added Drive#13 to the drive progress chart
Tweaked the pie charts on the dashboard

Tested in:
Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Epiphany, Arora, Midori, Seamonkey Opera, IE9
and yes also in elinks - maybe I'll put in some ALT test for the charts for Max
I am really impressed with the paging, sorting and filtering now working even in elinks, but the menu is half way down the page and the header banner could look better in green-screen.
Maybe I'll see if I can fix that later. Nerd! :D

If you spot any bugs, please call a pest controller. You really shouldn't let them breed in your house ;)

Looks good! I see mostly cosmetic differences at first glance (since many of the tweaks you made were strictly "under the hood"); in particular, some of the fonts in the tables seem to be a tad smaller (or perhaps a different font). On the whole I must say I like the new effect--makes the tables somehow easier to read.

The pie charts look very cool as well.

Keep up the good work!

P.S.: I am duly impressed by how well the updated site works in elinks--even though the left-hand menu shows up halfway down the screen, it's not too big a deal for actual functionality; the various tables remain eminently readable. The User Stats page turned out particularly well--I've attached a screenshot (albeit of links, not elinks, but it's close enough).

there's a nice frosty alternative on the test site at the moment

Brrrr. It's getting a bit nippy around here.

I prefer the blue / white version. The red / black is too harsh for my old eyes.

I agree, it's too harsh on any eyes.
