OK, here are some issues that annoy me to varying degrees:
1- QUOTING - The mechanism for quoting in a response is cumbersome. If the post you're responding to contains a quote, and you want your response to quote the original post, plus the response, you have to find the posts and check the boxes to allow "multiple quotes" - PLUS, if you're responding "with quote" to a post that contains a quote from another source (such as a news story that's quoted) - your response will not include the quoted news story contained within the reply you're quoting. I know I'm not quite expressing this correctly, but I think most of you should get what I'm saying.
2 - HEIGHT PER POST - it seems each post is a minimum height, regardless of how short the post may be. This means there is a lot of empty space on many posts. On the computer I normally use (with firefox) the empty area is AFTER the text in the post, but I've noticed on computers that use IE, the empty space is BEFORE the text - - which makes it seem that there's no response at all. Is there a way that the minimum height per post can be shortened?
3 - WIDTH on the first post on each page - this is just weird! Why is the text in the first post on a page (post #1, 26, 51 etc) so narrow? If it's a fairly short response, it's not very noticeable - but on a lengthy post, it can make for an unnecessarily long post.
watch, you'll see - - the text in this post will be long and narrow! If not, I'll eat my words.
