I know this is not under our control, and certainly doesn't limit us in any way, but just thought to comment/report on my experience and ask if maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I'm missing part of the equation. Help, anyone?

Looking at LV projects on-line at Internet Archive, when a browser (FireFox 3.0.1) selects to use the new beta player, sometimes for each chapter there are two columns and sometimes three. The third (right) column is not always there, but when it does mysteriously appear, it displays each chapter's running time.

Also sometimes all of the chapters are listed as one very long list, in an extended black box, while at others, suddenly the window is short with an up and down scroll bar to get you from top to bottom and (yup) even back again.*)

*Where is Alice Liddell when I need her? Life is so curious. :hmm:

Probably slightly different server configurations in the cluster they're using.

Might want to report it to the archive.org folks, but doesn't seem serious.
