… can’t get a connection. this is really bad, i thought at least they wouldn’t have the famous server issue, when trying such a record. I tried for 5 minutes to refresh my browser. it’s no use, and so they can’t count on my vote.

I already pledged and 2 of fav. plugins already work with Beta 5 (Piclens and Download helper) so I'm happy :)

These sites show fine in Firefox 2, but something still needs tweaked with the forthcoming browser for these Mac built sites to view properly.

It's not the browser's fault that iWeb sites dont render properly. It's iWeb's fault.
@Blatz
Or maybe, since those sites work fine in the much better webstandards supporting Safari, they ARE coded to standards and its Firefox's fault?
I'll download it (if i can even be bothered) sometime in July.....

What it will get is lots of publicity, which is good I guess.. but forget about the record.
