thumbs up/down
I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate my very strong support for motherhood and apple pie.

3410, I have the same problem, and I have ticked that box *many* times.
I should've realised it wouldn't be quite that easy. :)

One thing though, I keep being logged out of PAS after a few minutes of not posting. Doesn't happen in other sites. Is that a feature or a bug?
Tick the box below login that says "Stay logged on to this computer?"

Will the new version of the site give me the ability to go back in time and slap my cursor away from the Post Reply button?
Consider the 'What was I thinking?!' comment a rite of passage. We've all done it. :)

That's a horse.
Usually, we just tape a buncha cats together.

... and frankly, I wouldn't trust National to get it right.

Y'know, I think this provocation defense should stay.
I'm thinking that too. Surely there are some cases where it's relevant? The fact that it's been widely abused doesn't automatically mean it should be abolished. I lean more to thinking that some judges have inappropriately allowed it.

I started listening as a high school kid in '91 or '92
Me too.
Me too. That's half our lives.

Please, no. My day is confusing enough already.

By the way, forgot to mention that PAS is actually designed, and works, very well in general.

But I can't promise to do everything ...
Well, obviously, but you've got to al least be aware of the problems before you can consider them. Other than those mentioned above, here's a couple.
Italics doesn't work very well. It tilts forward instead of on the spot. Further, you can't make a quote that starts or finishes without putting a space between the underscores and the quote bit. A minor complaint, this last one, but it is an anomaly.
Link thing: Many people, myself included, copy the link instructions from the list next to the the reply box and then fill in where appropriate. Unfortunately, the first letter either side of the centre bar is a lower case "l," which is, along with "i" the thinnest letter in the English language. This means that selecting (for overwriting) both "url" & "link" is a tricky business and often leads to failed links. This could easily be fixed by changing to a capital "L."
Lastly, for now, I wouldn't like to see an "edit" button active for too long. 5 minutes seems about right - long enough to correct any obvious errors. If it is active for too long, there's no longer an accurate record of what's been said; people will quote other comments that no longer exist, etc.
