Re: linuxquestions.org unusable

links and elinks are two browsers with messed up interfaces.  I have yet 
to figure out what enhancements elinks made over links, the interface 
certainly wasn't one of them.  Just doing a login on linuxquestions.org 
is to say the least dodgey, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. 
 For sure it doesn't work with chrome or safari, I've tried both on my 
iPhone.
