This system has been optimised for standards compliant browsers.
This means Firefox, Opera, Safari, and almost every other modern browser, EXCEPT Internet Explorer.
If you are using Internet Explorer, everything should still work, but things may not look so cool... and some ease of use will be lost. We recommend you switch to a standards compliant browser, for a more secure and pleasant browsing experience.
It has not been tested with IE 7 as the thought of Vista fills us with dread . Therefore feedback on IE7 would be most welcome. ....(more)

This system allows for private groups to be created, which can contain private articles and discussions. The system administrators control membership of these groups. If you are member of a group then you can read and post within that group, otherwise the existence of the group will not be visible to you.
Groups you are a member of will appear on the groups listing. These let you access the home page for each group, which will list the articles visible to that group only.
In addition, any private posts relating to any private group you are a member of will appear on the main "what's new" page, marked 'private'. These will not be visible to non-members of the group, and neither will any of the group displays be available.
