You sure?  It was true a few years back, but I don't think
it's still the case.  People download MP3 and watch Flash
animation these days.

A link to PersianComputing on farsitex.org?  Or farsiweb.info you
mean?  Note that the content on farsiweb.info is just a
reshuffling of the old stuff.  With the new system, we will start
updating the content soon.

I have not had any trouble viewing the site with IE. However, a lot of
people with WinXP SP2 aren't able to view any images on *certain* sites. 
I think it has to do with interference from firewall/anti-virus programs.
In any case, many people in Iran turn off images anyhow for faster
viewing so you may like to design the site so that it works both with and
without images.

By the way, I also may be lacking perfect sight but I didn't see a link to:

Done.  It looks pretty well, only the non-link items in the left hand menu
might not be much readable (or it might be my lack of perfect sight.)

Humm, would you check http://farsitex.org/?  I think it worked in
IE when I designed it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.  Behnam, would you please make
sure the design works in IE and Mozilla at least.

I'm not sure.  What I can say for sure is the image won't render correctly
in IE.  Hmm, BTW, at a second look, IE fails to render the layout correctly
as well!  Of course that's not as bad as how the background image looks.

Ah, that's a good sign, that none of us at FarsiWeb uses IE
anymore!  BTW, IIRC, 8bit transparent PNG works in IE too.

Congrats on the new site!

I took a quick look, and I have a comment regarding the design.  It seems to
me that you're using a transparent PNG file as the background for the pages.
IE doesn't support this feature of PNG files correctly, so the pages render
half unreadable on IE.  I suggest changing this, and the easiest way would
be not to use a transparent PNG (no need for that, anyway - just let the
background be white.)  Fortunately real browsers (Firefox, and Mozilla) do
render it pretty fine!

Other than that, the layout seems very nice.  Thanks for your efforts.
