  • The Flash-based viewer for the presentations will certainly attract more visitors to open and go through them. I hope we’ll see a similar interface for reading the articles, preferably with bibliographies auto-linked to academic search engines/indices.

  • The page-layout breaks at least in the Firefox 3 browser in Windows OS.

  • I believe many visitors tend to click on the thumbnail pictures of the manuscript front-pages. It’d be good to have them hyperlinked like the manuscript titles.

  It looks very nice. Can you indicate what are the new features?

  Thanks for the feedback, Santosh! We’re glad you like the presentation viewer and hope that it will encourage sharing and discussion of presentations. We will look into the problems with Firefox 3. Please feel free to let us know about any bugs you encounter directly by emailing us at precedings [at] nature.com or using our feedback page. Thank you also for the suggestion regarding hyperlinking of the thumbnail pictures. We will definitely include this in a future release.

  Maxine – Santosh alluded to one of the new features above, which is a Flash based viewer for presentations. (You can see it in action here.) Other new features include the addition of pages allowing one to view only manuscripts, posters or presentations, and a list of recently updated documents (documents with new revisions posted on Precedings or with newly-added links to later published versions) on the homepage. Finally, the homepage features two new collections of documents: the Allen Brain Atlas Reports and the Second Nature Lecture Series. As always, there are numerous under-the-hood tuning features and usability enhancements.
