Simple - it's only set up to run on certain sites...  I'll add yours to
the list though.

2. Is it possible to put the counter on the status bar instead of over
the page corner? If the page is not scrollable it can obscure text on
the page, and even if it is scrollable, it's a pain to have to scroll
to read something.

I'll look into that - if I can figure out how to do it, sure :)

3. If the link is near the right side of the page, clicking the kitty
extends the page to the right, often introducing a horizontal
scrollbar.  But closing the info window does not reset the page width.
Is it possible to right-align the info window rather than increasing
the page width?

I noticed that - if you could help me figure out the CSS for the
peeron_popup, I'd be happy to update it.  I'm still trying to figure out
all this JS/CSS stuff :)

Well I'm no expert either, but there seem to be right and left CSS properties
that may be able to do it. I haven't really played with CSS much though, Tim G
would be the guy to ask.

Well I was trying to do this and discovered a fairly major bug in the extension.
When trying to edit a post on jlug (phpBB) which contained a set number it found
the set number and promptly blanked the entire text edit box.

Whoa!  I'll take a look at that tomorrow morning.  Probably could just
add "textarea" to the tags to be left alone.

For some people, this would be considered a positive function of that extension ;-)

Yup, I think that did the trick.  Try the 0.5 update?
