Oh, hey, that means we can add:
* Leave the text showing in the javascript alert box.
Or, another variant:
* Make a javascript alert box appear on the screen, that then has a conversation with the user for 120 boxes.
Easy to prevent in Firefox. :P

I'm sure Wiz could easily do some other special stuff with html to counterattack your defense :). Maybe mess up the table format.
Also, I like the pop up.. When I click the new button on recent posts it leads me to the last post of the topic when I last visited it. And usually the webpage still loads when it jumps to the post.. so it's off by quite a bit.. With the pop up, I have a chance to let the rest of the page load up then I press ok, and it goes to the post perfectly.
Now watch wiz make the popup lead somewhere else :P
Edit: the yellow font doesn't bother me either - I use the dark blue theme like OM
Sometimes annoying can be subtle. Or not.
That's EVIL!
Three More Posts!
Is that three, or six, or more?
Jump Ship! This isn't annoying any more, it's frightening :-o!
Forbidding BZU scripts until this thread dies...
You have no idea how evil this is. I did enable quick reply to prevent having to get text from page 2 when posting.
Well, weren't you REALLY asking for it when you created such a topic? :P
Lets make it more evil. And annoying, of course.
And now I have noscript so BOOYAH! (Can't believe I said that.)
Yup, thats it, CmptrWz's power has totally gone to his head...
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely."
If I had absolute power not even noscript would help you.

You know, he has a very good point. I'm leaving this plane of existance if he does gets absolute power.
Like that would help. If I had absolute power you wouldn't be able to run far enough.
NO! I HAD IT WITHOUT ANY ADDONS!!
I finally had the no reply window up, typed a short message saying something to the effect of "I WIN!", pressed Post... and SOMEONE TYPED A MESSAGE WHILE I TYPED!
700 boxes later, my computer tried to restart (too much ALT + F4), so I give up.
Yes, I am annoyed, thank you. :)
You didn't just hold enter?
Sheesh.
No I was trying to run away from Firefox :P
I wasted enough time floating though boxes, I just figured I should give up :D
When I hold enter it freezes for 10 sec every 50.
BTW, add a box at the end that asks if they want to NOT do it again and NO is the default option.
Somehow it ran again on me, but I just did a complete block of scripts now so you are not getting though.
I have javascript enabled on here right now, but alert boxes and its kin are disallowed. :P
If I notice anything else irritating though, a simple double click fixes that.
