As an inconsequential note of no particular importance, I will say that I almost NEVER use the "d." I want the most recent posts where I can see them while I'm composing a comment, and if you got in with the "d" they're at opposite ends, sometimes requiring a very long (up to 49 posts?) scroll to jump between one end of the "page" where the last post is and the "Reply to Thread" box that stays at the bottom.

Ctl-Home and Ctl-End will "jump" you to one end or the other, but things don't necessarily align right, so you may need a PgUP or PgDN, or do a couple of "wheelies" to land where you'd like.

Another (minor #2) annoyance is that for some reason my cursor disappears when I'm typing in the Reply box, which forces me to pay very close attention to where the stroke goes when I poke the next key. This has been consistent through at least four versions of my browser - but that doesn't eliminate the possibility that it's "just me."

And for itty-bitty #3 - once you preview, you can't see anything in the thread and I fairly often find "typos" (blame it on whatever you can) that make me think I've misquoted someone and it takes some "advanced aerobatic maneuvers" to go back to the thread, repaste what I had, make corrections, and of course preview again.

I've been reluctant to complain, since knowing how it works - or doesn't - is part of feeling at home and part of the gang.
