After my previous post, I found out that almost all of the links on your
site fail with a 500 error. One that doesn't is the link for "Edit Account
Info". That link gives a Zope error:
Zope Error
Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
Error Type: IndexError
Error Value: tuple index out of range
The only link I found so far that works with IE6 is the "Village" link (but
"Usertown give a 500 error).
