| Addon | core |
| Description | 1) Use Javascript to dynamically resize a loaded overlay to fit the content.
2) Remove the big close/cancel buttons at the bottom of an overlay, and replace it them a visual 'X' in one of the upper corners (Like Lightbox2, but at the top: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ ) 3) Get rid of the secondary overlay that you get after you've added an attachment. 4) When an overlay is open, the content behind the overlay should not be scrollable. |

Rishi, I'll be uploaded this for you manually, as it's not quite compatible with your version.
Now when using the "quick reply" at the bottom of a thread to reply, clicking on the "View all emoticons" link sends you to the top of the thread forcing you to scroll back down to finish your post. :)
Is there a happy medium, or is it a "one or the other" type of thing?
Image won't show in overlay when clicking on a thumbnail. Just get the little "working" icon.
Doesn't work on v9.0.5 MSN hub and a satellite with patch.
Works ok on a v9.0.5 MSN satellite without this improvement patch.
It does seem like that secondary overlay is not needed ("comcode has been added to the page....")--

3) Get rid of the secondary overlay that you get after you've added an attachment.
