I've noticed one other thing. Since this new item was added, the Jump button at the bottom
of the page no longer works. I click on the GO button and nothing happens.  :(

I tried Firefox and IE and I can't see it. Could be based on privileges on the forum.

The modify button also isn't accessible any m ore so that I can't make corrections to my posts >:(

corrected.
So I'm assuming the jump button works now as well?
EDIT (using the modify button): works for me
