You're welcome.  This was really like 99% David, I just helped push things towards a conclusion ;).

Sorry I didn't send out an announcement when we were finished.  It was all pretty exhausting :-).

This is a new feature of Trac 1.0, a breadcrumbs bar, which we don't have nice styling for yet.  We should probably add some CSS for it.  (Notice "wiki" is a link to WikiStart from all pages.)

I imagine you have an adblocker or a tracking-blocker or something like that.  The tabs actually work fine, unless you block google analytics, which causes a JavaScript which I believe halts further script execution on the page.  We should add a try/catch around the thing that loads the analytics thing so it doesn't disrupt further script execution.

Augh.  That definitely looks too short.  I have no idea why it looks that way.  I don't think it looked that way when I examined dreid's test instance.  Any ideas?

> The IDs for entries in the various RSS feeds have changed (so the last N entries appear as duplicates).

I don't think there's anything we can do about that.

Thanks for looking into it.  Now that we're over this huge hurdle, hopefully we can address issues like these more quickly now.

One thing you didn't notice is the weird description on the styling in the "Description" box in the ticket-edit area, we should fix that as well.
