The fundraising banners went live yesterday, but in spite of efforts to test them, there were serious issues with their basic functionality and IE6 and IE7. My apologies; it's an inexcusable screw-up on our part, and we won't go live again until we've resolved this. (We're looking into the feedback on the messaging/style of the banners as well, and have been from the beginning.)

The slogan "Wikipedia Forever" and some of its translations (for example, Hebrew) sound too religious and political. It made me recall the lovely Albanian film "Slogans" (the English article about it is too short, but articles in other languages give you the idea.)
And the letters are way too large.
