A new look for Access to Insight 2009.06.01

I hope you like the cleaner new design. I've also added a few new features, including:

  • Better searching. If you like, you can now limit the scope of your searches to just the suttas or just the books.
  • Handy tools. The little sunshine icon at the top of every page has some links to useful places. Now a random sutta is never more than a click away!

During the transition to the new design, I've had to temporarily disable a few familiar links and features, including the whole-site download. But don't worry — they'll be back. Stay tuned...

Internet Explorer users and mobile device users: I'm still working on getting the search button and the sunshine pop-up menu to work properly for you. I'm aware of the issue and hope to fix it soon. Thanks for your patience!
