First of all: I'm sorry, I didn't actually mean to send this last email
to imc-tech.

Secondly, this upgrade did not fix the problem unfortunately. However,
it does not occur on dev.dadaimc.org. Maybe you can just manually edit
out the URL of the current page which is given in the 'page banner'
section (see HTML source code). I assume that other IMCs will have the
same issue then.

I'm BCC'ing a copy to spud's personal address.
