Some web-based features offered by ICQ have recently become unavailable, causing the ICQ logo on each posts to fail to load. In IE, this probably would have produced broken-image icons, and in Netscape, the page would take unusually long to load.
I've removed the ICQ-status feature at least temporarily -- I'm not sure how long the unavailable services will remain so -- so the pages should load up zippy now.
I'm not reading the board much lately as I don't have net access at home yet (er, "as I don't have a home yet" -- still living out of a hotel!), so should anyone notice anything out of the ordinary, please <a href="webmaster@mati.ca">drop me a line</a>.
Thanks,
