>>I also just noticed that they just added a box at the bottom of the page that contains the URL so you can copy and paste a link to the post without having to leave the location option on in the browser.

That's been there for awhile, at the suggestion of, ahem, yours truly. I don't think it appears for IE users, at least not in the version I have. You might note that the format is the sequential record number (i.e. permanent) in the SI database, not the thread/message number format, which means that it is never messed up by the nightly deletion of blank messages.

>>Now if I could just figure out why they added the frame around the reply#?

You can enter a message number (thread oriented) there, and you'll jump right to it after a newline. I'm confused as to its practical use, though.

Them craps tables have been pretty crappy. :-/
