Can we tweak this? Please?

Guys who code, when I mouseover the scroll to top button, if I'm not extremely precise, I get the popup box asking for reason for karma.

Also, the subscribe/karma box shows beneath the OP by default. IE9 Win7 64 bit.

While creating this post, I see this:

Just what I thought!

One thing though, does this only work on new threads? Clicking on the subscription options button for a different thread (the .80 changelog for LH) just pops me to the top of the page but doesn't do anything else.

Pat/Gargabee, the karma thing appears to be buggered... can't choose amount... wanted to give the Wizard some...

Also, the pm mechanism in the OP (from the poster's name) opens a page without a pm thing to fill out - just how full your pm boxes happens to be... no title, ribbon, response box nor send button.

I hope you got a shiny new Ban Button. (Pressure sensitive, of course) Your old one should be near worn-out by now.

I forgot to post about the Karma changes. Karma will now give +1 Karma immediately when clicking on the Karma button. So now you can only give 1 Karma, not a range from 1-9. Making it more similar to Facebook likes or Google's +1. And also adding a reason is now optional.

And, thanks for letting me know about the PM issue. Fix will be up in just a few minutes.

Not sure if you guys fixed it, or because I am on a different computer, but not having this problem now.

Well, that sucks. As a master, I've enjoyed the ability to give 5 k. Bummer, now only 1, doesn't seem worth the effort.

Figured out my issue. Ctrl+F5 wasn't reloading completely in Firefox. Had to hold down Ctrl and click the reload button for a good reload. Now everything is swell on this computer as well.

If it's worth the effort, then I'll give 1 karma.....four times.

Not earth-shattering...but it's a little 'two steps forward and one step back' to be adding new features whilst removing others....

Not sure if the "time out" feature still works on that.

I liked the old system (ya think? ) but if that's what it's gonna be... meh.

Note: I don't give a rats ass about either. If I wanted "similar" then I'd be there, for free, instead of being a paying subscriber to WC.

Now I have to agree with that. Who wants to be like Facebook?

I subscribe to WC, screw FB.
