I poked around on the site a little with a post-2.7 lynx (Lynx Version
2.7.1ac-0.53) and only ran into one semi-lynx-related problem.  I
registered, signed in, read an article from the main page, searched for
articles on a subject, looked at them, and went to the User Profile
Modification page.  I did have a problem there.  The 'Submit Update
Info' button just shows as [BUTTON] in plain text - nothing to activate.

In the course of that there were some pretty slow responses from the
server and a couple 'Remote Host Unreachable' messages, but those were
intermittent and eventually went through.

Liked the site...
