I think you may not have waited long enough for the page to finish loading. IIRC you use a dial-up connection. Here, on 8Mb ADSL, it took about 2 minutes for the Sourceforge page to finish loading and display. I tested it on Firefox 3 on Windows, and it loaded much quicker, however there are large chunks of JavaScript which are used for a fancy tabbed display. I reckon NetSurf makes a decent fist of displaying such rubbish, but it is slow.

Overlapping
NetSurf 2.0 (r5660) still has some instances of graphics overlapping text or text overlapping graphics. A sample of the first from thinkbroadband.com at http://www.brianhowlett.me.uk/images/tbb.jpg Another screenshot for the second on radiotimes.com at http://www.brianhowlett.me.uk/images/rt.jpg This is less obvious, but there is a grey box which should go round all the listings on that page, with an advert for ask.com below it. The screenshot shows the box does not extend the full length of the listings by some considerable distance, and the listings text obscures the bottom of the box and the advert, which can be seen between the overlapping lines of text. Does this need to be reported as a bug, or is it already known to the developers? Another problem on the thinkbroadband forums - it keeps forgetting that I should be logged in. This is likely to be a cookie issue, but AFAIK I have NetSurf's cookies working properly, because other sites which use cookies to keep you logged in do work as expected.
