Thanks a bunch, and if you figger out the speaker thingie, please let me know...
Cheers, and Gig'em.
The speaker thingie is the pager feature. If you have Java enabled on your browser, a little window pops up telling you you've got new comments. It's been around for a while but just now made available to everyone.
P.S. It won't work if you've got a pop-up zapper.
