Help Test Exciting All-New Slashdot "Banjo"

After far too long in development, Slashdot is ready to move to the latest version of Slashcode. To this end, we really need people to test our development box, aka Banjo. This is not a load test, so please don't beat the crap out of it (yet!). Please read comments, post comments, and test out wacky new features like Journaling and the assorted new messaging options. It is mostly identical but there are several cool surprises. We have many optimizations still to add, and only have a fraction of our "real" hardware on Banjo so don't worry about speed, instead look for things that don't work right (or at all!) and send those bug reports. (Known issues: imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled. Don't report these things please ;))

Too many teeth

It says I have too many teeth to play a banjo, whatever could that mean?

Format error in light mode ... unclosed tag.

[Skapare]

In light mode, the text of each article in the main page just extends horizontally as far as it goes all on one line. I have to use the horizontal scroll bar just to read it. The bug here is that the <NOBR> tag for the menu row is not properly closed. The slash is missing in the closing </NOBR> tag.

BTW, a <NOBR> tag is a bad idea for that menu for light mode, as it will cause horizontal scrolling for itself.

Bug.

I tried to login, but I got a 'wrong password' error on users.pl. I entered the passwod again, and I got this error from users.pl:

You've reached the maximum number of times you can access users.pl: 123 accesses over 4 hours.

I waited 2 minutes (maybe it's doing some werid average calculation), and I got that error again (the number of accesses changed to 144, then 148, etc).
