So maybe Gaudere with her mad HTML skillz has fixed issue 2, in the process proving that it wasn’t necessarily an IE bug and at the same time exposing me for a fool, but I still vote that we blame Microsoft because that’s SOP in the computer field.

I **love** this feature! Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Thank you a thousand times for giving it to us!

Not only is it more convenient not to have to load the reply window, but I have noticed a significant improvement in the speed of the boards.

**WOO!**

I was getting that script error thing too, but now apparently it’s been fixed! Thank goodness! Also have noticed that the speed of the boards has improved, as well. Definitely more convenient not to have to load another page!

Good gravy.

Once again I must, in awe and gratitude, acknowledge the superlativity of the amazing mods we have around here. Sheesh. We’re not worthy.

this is only a test.

If you wanted something smart and witty, why did you stop to read this?  
I warned you.

Here’s an odd one.

The forum page for this thread:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2003136#post2003136](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2003136#post2003136)

says that the last post was by “Unregistered”

Yet if you visit the thread, or click of the profile of “Unregistered”, you get our friend **Zyada**.

[cue spooky music]

The “Twilight Zone”, perhaps? Or horror movie music? How about Halloween sound effects mixed in with those two?
