          And while I have your ear (if you're reading this, that is), can you tell me why I never get moderator points any more? I used to get them at least once a month or so, but it has probably been two years now since I last had any points. Similarly if you could enlighten us as to why some people (apparently) receive 15 points at a time while I pret
  • That might have been me. No Chrome at work, but I can try, ick, IE.

      Busted in IE8 as well. I click on soulskill's zoo pill [slashdot.org] and get a page with the following:
