Last night's downtime upgrading PPRuNe's vBulletin software seems to have resulted in the loss of the cumbersome 'security identification' process which used to crop-up after you signed-in. Hooray!

Other changes seem to be that the bottom of 'quote boxes' are now clipped and that a small gap is automatically inserted at the top of each post.
