I have found what I think may be a problem with this current pop-up. It's the same whether you leave a positive or a negative rep... I'm not sure reading "May you be lucky enough to recieve the same reputation back in turn" is appropriate when sending out negative reps to someone deserving one. lol Could there be a different/none at all for neg reps. Not that it really bothers me, just an idea.

IE6 is a nightmare for just about all web developers. WHY is 6 still used? 7 isn't good enough? Come on peeps..give Raj a break. download IE7....or better yet, FireFox

Sorry Nate and Raj...but don't have a choice.... I'm using the PC at work, and since Im just a (yeah, I'll be PC here) little worker bee... I don't have any say whatsoever in the IT for the company....so IE6.0.29 is what it is.

So there.

But yeppers...since the new changes for the whistles, I like them, and I appreciate the red blinking PM notice, and the learning who I get strokes from, but I can't just click on the smilies to use them any more, or get the additional menu to choose from. I have to find the right "code" to put btwn the colons in order to get them to appear.

Bummer! (And yes, I've disabled my pop-up blocker for this site....a looooooong time ago.) :-/

But Raj and All....Thanks for the hard work for the upgrades!
