Some where here, I have come across a new beta screen on the 10 message display. Some feedback: I like that there is a "view replies" option for each of the 10 displayed messages if they have one. However, I miss the option to click on the specific response when engaged in the 10 view function. As I see, the only options are to "Respond", "View Replies," or "View Original Post #". There are times I want to "leave a marker" where I have left off in case my browser is accidently closed, or I am away for periods of time. Otherwise, the new view reply function is awesome.

IMHO, this too-big Arial font is even uglier and harder-to-read than the too-big, slightly-less-ugly Times Roman font the original bug was/is forcing us to use. Scott, I will reiterate. The major issue for me is still that they've somehow coded things so that in the next-10 view, the user has no control over font size or style through their browser settings (in IE5 it's the View>TextSize menu). But we _do_ still have this control when viewing a single message, as we always did. Play with your own browser settings and see what I mean. Why should these two functions/views of SI messages act differently? In my mind, they should not. The user should have the same control in both situations, and the two should - as much as possible - look and act identically for a given user's browser preferences and settings. I guess I'm not seeing why this is dragging on so long. It's just HTML, not rocket science - or stock picking. -Rose-
