The Fragment Recruitment Viewer is currently not generating images properly. We would advise against running any FRV jobs until this has been resolved. (posted Feb 18, 2010 10:32)

FYI: In Firefox 3.6, some menus are not accessible in the CAMERA applications. For now, we recommend using Firefox 3.5.x. Also, if you are using IE8, please turn on "IE7 compatibility mode".

Thank you for your understanding.
