Build Identifier:
At the indicated URL, using SeaMonkey results in a warning that an unsupported browser is being used. Necessary navigation items are then missing from the pages resulting from a search.
Spoofing Firefox with the UA string below resolves this problem, thus proving invalid sniffing.

Confirmed using Camino trunk without "like Firefox" in the UA string. David, have you contacted the site?

I just now sent a message to the site using their Web-form. This was delayed because navigation to the form does not work unless I spoof Firefox.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.
