[Linux-aus] candidate nominations systems broken on website for elections

[Dwight Walker]

It was on 7/1/23 at about 8pm Brisbane time so before deadline at 10:59pm
Brisbane time.

I had a 15" monitor then so had to zoom to 90% to see all the nav bar
buttons horizontally on linux.org.au site after this happened but it was
too late.

Button for accept nomination may have been below fold. I will have to wait
till next January to test it again.

Yesterday I bought 24" monitor so I can see all the site as most sites are
now designed for 24" not 15" monitors.
