As I mentioned I would in Out of the Blue, I noodled around a bit more with the focus setting, something that's been bandied about here lately as a way to make the news frame scroll by default for those who desire it, but a problem for those who don't as it can pop your browser in front of your work as the boss walks by, among other intrusive side effects. In spite of not changing the scrolling behavior on any of my machines (or loony's), upon further experimentation it does seem to somehow alter the focus of the page (if I pull up the "focused" version of the page and switch away, the icon in my taskbar changes color), so to see if it offers the best of both worlds on this tiny detail, there is now an ugly temporary JavaScript drop down dealie on the left sidebar that will set a cookie to set the focus if you so desire. I've added a link there to user settings as well, but this is not among them, because to set it does not require registration. If it turns out this is all operating as expected for everyone (and what are the chances of that?), I'll work out a less uglified interface. Feel free to let me know how it works for you.
