Site Interruption
Today we discovered this site was not rendering properly when viewed on Internet Explorer but rendered correctly when viewed on Firefox, which is the browser I use while updating and maintaining the site. When the bug was first brought to my attention I suspected the glitch was limited to one computer and not all computers running Internet Explorer. Right now we appear to have fixed the bug and regret not identifying the scope of the problem sooner.
The bug involved the code in the post for the last quarterly meeting agenda; so, we deleted it. Since that meeting date has passed I will not re-post it. Feel free to email me anytime identifying problems with the web site or any suggested content, or call me at 206-575-6046.
