1.) A glitch in the ShareThis software, being fixed by them as we speak.

2.) Not sure what you mean about vertical scroll bars on every message window.
A specific example?

Google custom search rocks. Well done Frank. As to forum software, have you ever considered phpBB? I admin a couple of phpBB 3 forums and I've been very impressed with it. Could save some $$ since it is free and open source.

When I read this message for example, there is a scroll bar immediately to the right of the message, but there is no need to scroll, due to the size of the message. If you're not seeing this, it is perhaps something to do with my settings?

After posting this, I note that the scroll bar appears on every message on the page. I can do a screen shot, if helpful.
