No. That's what the Wowhead script used to do to the old default comment layout, but it doesn't affect the Intense Debate layout.

You should probably clear your browser's cache, because that problem was cleared up literally months ago.

Did you do something to randomize the comment text colors? If yes, it hurts the eyes and bright colors are hard to read, if not I wonder what happened to my browser…

I've been playing these games for ages – since Asheron's Call way back when. And there were always Drizzts. I never knew what they were about. Fast forward to about 2 years ago when my guy and I moved in together. He's unpacking all these R.L. Salvatore books and finally mentions Drizzt!

So now I have shelves full of Drizzt (I call him Drizzle) behind me.

Did I just get "FIRST!"-ed? Now I know I've hit the big time.

Most people just give up on "Auchindoun" – I usually say it similarly to "ow-shin-doon" (only without so much emphasis on the "ow").

As for Drizzt – blame R.L. Salvatore.

Thanks for the input – I didn't think the good old dictionary would even have mana in its listings.

The worst part about WoW for me (having no sci-fi/fantasy upbringing) is the darn pronunciation. You should hear me say, "Drizzt, the Draenei shaman, ran out of mana in Auchindoun." Actually, you shouldn't.

Great news mate.

Yep. There were a few bumps – mostly related to Windows Live Writer – but I got them worked out. (WLW, out of the box, converts quotes to smart quotes, regular double-quotes to curly ones, and dashes to long hyphens – but when exported from a database, those turn into funky unreadable symbols.)

Should be a speed increase, at least for folks over on the Right Coast, and I actually contacted my old host today to let them know I'd like to cancel my account – everything seems to have come across A-OK.
