The functions that are in Mozilla are such that I can open all the new threads from the past few days within seconds, whereas with Internet Explorer you'd have to open each thread in a new windows, alt+tab back to the window displaying the "new threads" page, and so on and so forth. It takes bloody ages.
Also, when you type a post and get an error like "you're not logged in", or "sorry, the administrator has specified that....
60 seconds", in IE you'd have to write out the whole post again, whereas with Moz it's waiting there for you to simply click "Post Reply" again 
I'm sure there's many other differences, but those two are probably the biggest when it comes to efficient forum browsing

In IE, you'd have to choose "open in new window" or shift+click every single thread title. When you do that, the new window opens up in front and steals the focus from the "new threads" window, meaning you have to alt+tab back to the new threads window and open a new window again.
Which one sounds shorter?

Okay, with Mozilla, all I need to do is click on the threads with the middle-click, and the links load in the background while the main window showing the new threads stays in front. That way, I can happily click all the threads I wanna open and have them loaded very quickly.

I have a question for the mods:
If enough people sign/vote/support an individual to be a Mod ..can it happen??
I think you know where I am going....I think you know I am crazy enough to try it....I think I know your answer before it moves beyond this point
Nevertheless....Comments Marty?
P.S. I'm making my entrance to Xtratime in the next day or two: others have told me I'll be banned in a day or two..any predicitions?? Anyone I should NOT go head to head with?

Yes, won't you tell us, mr. mod
Yes, won't you tell us, mr. mod
I resigned from all my moderators duties on XT longtime ago, and acyually refused offers that came after FF came in life As a mod you are put between the rock & hard place (Martin you surely noticed what happened to Lav on XT lately). YOU can not please everyone. Forums are cultural/personalities melt-pot and PPL come from all walks of life. Sooner or later you'll have "enemies". Sooner or later someone will get pissed off at you for editing or deleting their post, sooner or later few posters will gang up on you and your way of moderating. IF i could i would love to be just a "member" and from this perspective i kind of regret accepting firts mod positions on XT and then CM position.
Incubo, there is no reason why you shouldnt join XT. You shouldt make an enterance though
Prety much like here. State your oppinion and defend it, no name calling and dont cry faul if thread gets heated up and mod edits your post, deletes it or closes the thread where you were involved in the argument. When i was part of XT management, we were way "strickter" in enforcing the "rules", but then again, we had Jan's orders to follow
Sometimes his "way" of dealing with things didnt make sense, and he was rarely there to explain. We basically got the blame for everythingBesides, There are PPL there which are way better at what you do than you
