First - Alabaster skin?

ANd second - yes they are awful, but at least they stand out. I'm not one for subtlety, as you might have gathered......

That's the problem - they don't stand out.

Oh, and I've had some weird things happen to my page while I was away - there are half a dozen rogue references that have appeared in the column on the right, and the referenced researchers list which should be om the right has disappeared altogether!

I'm going to hit the edit button in a minute, but have you heard of this before?

You missed the big system update then... tch.
*goes off and has a look*
*comes back*
I see what's happened. For some reason it's interpreting user numbers as article numbers, eg the link to my page (U40285) is coming out as a link to A40285, which is a completely irrelevant article. You want to make sure all the links to researchers are using LINK BIO="U40285" instead of LINK H2G2="U40285" and so on...
Oh, and you need to change the link to the online popup thingy too - the code is now:
Big list of nice people
Smart, innit?

Yes you need to check with Bruce at the Guide ML clinic but I think its where you've referenced researchers.

They changed the Guide ML ithink its now "link Bio" rather than just "link" so at the moment your page shows up articles with the same number as the researcher you wanted it to point at.
