The new webpage for Team 1073 is up!
TheForceTeam.com (http://theforceteam.com) is a similar design to what we used last year, updated for our new team colors.
The really cool thing is this:
Robin (http://voltechs.com), our lead designer and PHP God, wrote his own custom script to govern the content of this page. He built almost everything out of CSS. True, we do use IPB for our CMS, but he wrote a system so that every time we create a new subforum in our CMS category, it actually creates a new button on the navbar of the homepage.
Quick, dynamic, special. Check out the code:

V. spiffy.
However, we have to deal with the problem of working with Macs. It looks perfect on our computers--can we get some feedback on whether everything looks fine on non-Mac browsers?
Thanks!

p.s. I've attached a 32-color GIF screen shot of what it looks like in Safari. Robin's done the best he can to get around IE--the "browser" (note quotes) that I think the judging will probably be done with--but I think there are some prolems with it.
