A glitch in all the credits pages has been fixed; this should make
the credits look a lot better under Microsoft Internet Explorer.
(For the technically minded, the problem was that the alignment

Lots of little changes all over the Guide today. I took the day off
work to spend plowing through some of my E-mail backlog. I've
gotten through 220 messages so far; sadly, that's not even half the
backlog, but I'll attempt to catch up before season four begins.
Please bear with me if you notice something is out of date -- it's
almost undoubtedly on my to-do list already, and more mail about it
will only slow me down further!

Some of you have noted that the Guide isn't using inline JPEGs any
more. They'll be back! The method I was using to choose between
JPEGs and GIFs turned out to be too heavy a load on the server.
Luckily, we'll be installing a faster machine in the next couple
of weeks. And, spare time permitting, I'll shortly be implementing
a more efficient way of doing the picture selection. The JPEGs
will return when the first of those two things happens. Thanks
for your patience.

Hyperion has moved to a new ISP yet again. If you see that your
browser is listing this server as "http://199.165.129.193/", your
browser is keeping old host addresses around longer than it's
supposed to. You'll want to restart it at some point (though
the old address will continue to be forwarded to the new one for
at least a week.)

We have started putting JPEG versions of some of our inline images
in place alongside the GIF versions. Our server should automatically
feed you an image type your browser can handle; if you find you're
getting garbage or a broken-image icon where you used to get a
picture, please let us know. The change will be an ongoing process
over the next several weeks. JPEG provides significant savings in
file size, and thus download time, for some images; it also looks
much better in many cases, especially on 16-million-color displays.
<p>
Not all images will be JPEGged, just those that benefit either in
appearance or size. That means most of the navigational icons will
remain GIFs even for people who can handle inline JPEGs.
<p>
This feature will probably not be available on mirror sites, which
will continue to serve up GIF images.

By popular demand, new entries in the guide pages will now have
