Hi, This is not as much fun as complaining about something, but ....
- The new sharing page is fantastic. - I love the fact that the url is updating as you move around, making it possible to just copy/paste the url from the url bar. - The previous design always bugged the crap out of me when it snapped back to the old position and when the refresh button was pressed. - I love that is remembers in the cookie that I like to see the notes.
