Will the “Quick Reply” function/box be reenabled soon?  
also, and it may just be me on my 10.3.9 iMac, the drop downs for the fonts, sizes, and colors appear to be disabled. Will that be fixed?

**Jerry,** I’m sure I speak for myself when I say that detailed, technical updates – even suspicions and theories – are welcome, when you have the time. On a smart board like this, you might be surprised at how many who understand such esoterica. Even if we don’t, it’s better than being in the dark, as many of us have felt we have been kept on occasion for so long.

If you can track down and fix the real problem, you have my vote. For anything.

So far, the progress looks good. keep it up.

I don’t have colors yet, but I do have the Size and Fonts drop downs in IE7 on Xp & Vista.

The font and size dropdowns are working fine for me, but the color one does nothing.

Running Vista, I get the same behavior from Firefox, IE, and Chrome.
