They use DreamWeaver and don't know how to write real stuff?
Bad template?

Why don't you ask them?
Telepathy isn't generally advertised as a skill by alt.html
participants.

My guess is that they only bothered to test in IE6 and so think that
it's perfectly okay. (Though I get something very off happening with
the text in the bottom right corner in IE6, but other than that it's
nowhere near as broken as it is in IE5, Firefox or Opera.)

I didn't not mention one thing about this in my e-mail. I only
subscribed to their newsletter.

Now they fixed it.

I didn't not mention one thing about this in my e-mail.

The e-mail that you sent to them asking why their site is so broken?
Or some other e-mail that is somehow (?) relevant?

I only subscribed to their newsletter.

Why not mention that? The site is broken, as a subscriber to their
newsletter you want to know why. Seems reasonable.

Now they fixed it.

Not really.

JavaScript error in IE5.
Missing text in Opera.
Text is resizable in IE.
Really screwed if images are disabled.
Can't be bothered to look any more.

Oh please. I can tell IE to ignore the given text size all I want and do.
Why? To avoid having to read 6px high text.
In Firefox I press ctrl and + or - to change the text size.

Most of us know though, that if a site doesn't conform to the standards of
Steve Pugh, it's a shitty site.

Yes, by disabling all font size styling. In an option that's buried
three levels deep inside the preferences. Under 'accessibility' not
under 'fonts'. Not very convenient to switch on and off as needed. The
normal method (view > font size) doesn't work.

Why? To avoid having to read 6px high text.

Personally I set a minimum font size of 12px in my browser
preferences.

In Firefox I press ctrl and + or - to change the text size.

Well done. But that's in Firefox, not in IE.

Most of us know that, that if a site was built by Richard, it's a
shitty site.

For me it looks OK with Opera and Mozilla now! It is actually the same.

BTW: I don't know why a screencap of rf in the thread "Opinions" with
Mozilla looks different to my Mozilla.

I have -
Mozilla 1.4.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114
I still haven't found any time to install more browsers.

The text in the lowermost box on the right hand side gets cut off in
Opera with my settings. Your settings are probably different.

Mozilla 1.4.1

Current version is 1.7.5, I think that's your answer right there.
Though different default font sizes, etc. can also play a part.
