> One more point while at it: mani ISOC PDFs download instantly instead of displaying in the browser (I've tried changing settings and haven't been able to fix this.) This makes it hard, again, to use them in mobile devices, and also to point users to the URLs (bit trickier than otherwise.) Does this bother anyone else?

I consider this rather a minor issue. But as many others easy to fix.
Sad enough if you report errors you'll rather never get an answer if
it was/will be fixed (though in some rare cases things get fixed).

Anyhow: I bet the following one will be fixed faster (because it is
about the shiny part):

on slide show does not display because it is broken.

Cheers, Klaus
