11 Let me know which browser you're using when you report bugs. It seems well-behaved on Safari on the Mac.

13 If you ask me, it looks like we can do some pretty spiffy comments with these new changes.
Too much for the typical doggerel that we produce. Phew! You had me worried Fred, then I tried the Bold and the background color and they didn't seem to work.  Keep it simple for old dogs.

18 its also not loading the page after the comment submission - and with IE, the db query flashes up there for a few seconds.  Also, I noticed the comments cozy up to the number in FF, but are inserted below it in IE submissions.

Comment box still looks the same on both. Some sort of RTF edit box.

22 Just tried it in Opera 9.0, and it doesn't work - at all.  The cursor is at the top of the page, not in the "comments" area.  You can't update the "Source" box or type any comments.  It displays everyone else's comments just fine.

27 You're right about the extra returns in IE. I can prob'ly fix them on the submit. Let me try it in Opera, though. That'd be a killer...

30 It seems to work pretty well in Flock (Netscape replacement).  One problem in using Firefox - it won't "remember" your nic, and it reloads the entire page when you press "send".  I'm trying bold and highlight now, along with a few other options.  The underlined text is the only thing that doesn't seem to work.
