The last 24 hours have been Ethan versus Manilla, and Manilla is winning, even though I’ve got a great set of allies. Comments should work again - thanks to Wendy and Jesse, to whom I owe many, many thanks. I understand that the site is wholly broken on IE and Safari - on my Firefox, the front page looks pretty good and the rest looks pretty bad. Trying to finish an actual piece of research - will wrestle with templates again tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who’s written in with comments, sympathies or bug reports. It is much appreciated, and I hope all will be back to normal shortly.
