Thanks again! |

I see it is now possible to view my contributions in 3D. This was added since I first raised the issue of the inaccessibility of the contributions chart and, while that is a nifty feature, I think the time spent adding more seemingly inaccessible versions of the chart could have been better applied fixing what is there now.
