I don't think I'd like a *centered* posting box. I don't like the idea that if I resized my window it could be in a different place, sideways-wise. That seems eerie and threatening for silly reasons I can't articulate.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I may not support the line break, but the word-trimming Michele suggests is fine.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Jon, I was suggesting the line break to bucket the information:
Line 1: where you are
Line 2: what to do.
But aesthetically, making it the same size as the box would probably be nicer, especially since the thread name length will vary enough that it's hard to set a specification.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
ita, are those individual users, or just totals for folks using the exact same browser/OS combination?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I registered .com and .net, but I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
1. Did you register with domaindirect.com?
2. If so, you had to choose a plan. If I go to their web site at [link] I see three options: a Web Identity Account, a Personal Identity Account, and Domain Parking. Which one of these are we using?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! I figured it out!
1. No. Domaindiscover.com, not domaindirect.com. Hence my confusion.

Those aren't users, but browser/platform stats.
