Oh, here's something that makes me absolutely nuts. In the text box where I'm typing now, it used to be that when I tried to scroll beyond the end of the text with the arrow keys, the cursor stayed at the end of the text. Now it gets transported magically to the top of the text with the next keystroke. The only safe way to position the cursor at the end of the text (e.g., to append more text) is by using the mouse, which is awkward. Can this be put back the way it was?

Now that's an odd one. What browser are you using? I have no control over that, or I should say, if I do, I'm not aware of it!

Physicist isn't dreaming--I have the same problem [IE 5.00.2614.3500] It really is annoying; my guess is that there's a small change in the [form] HTML, but without having old and new copies to compare it's hard to tell.

Also, if I might put my 2¢ in on a few other issues (is that 6¢ total?):
