To wonder why there are all these upgrades on MN?

[Salmotrutta]

...... and why they all happen just as I press post to make a particularly insightful and witty post?

And what are they for?

replace the last "post" with point!!

I dunno, but if you click the 'back' button when you get the dreaded upgrade page, it should take you back to your reply box with the text still there, so you don't lose the post.

Oh!...... Thank you!!

No problem!

It's really annoying.

I know!

......... I really do need to get out more!
