Problems from the Past
The glossary: the system added links to glossary terms in other pages but the link would take the user to the first term in the glossary instead of the correct one.
The navigation menu: when using the portal navigation menu, sometimes the user got a search box when clicking on a random menu item instead of the page associated with the menu item.

Solution
Finding out what was needed to fix the problems at hand and implement solutions would have taken a lot of time.
Installing a new system from scratch has taken less time than solving the problems.
Result: new Drupal installation (version 5.7 vs 5.2 on spaceweather.eu) where everything works as it's supposed to with additional content and a new look.

Multilingual Issues
Due to the fact that some languages use other characters it takes more time to add translations in such languages to the portal.
Example: when we received the Space Weather definition translations in a Powerpoint presentation, there was an image for translations in Armenian and Japanese. It is impossible to just copy paste these translations and add them to the site.

Final Words
System needed to be re-installed and the content manually ported
Now there is a new and improved system Still needs in-depth testing New system still needs to be tailored to the
expectations of the users. Comments welcome
