We will be making software changes today that may create some minor glitches

Particularly with posting, previewing and editing with special characters (such as single and double quotes). Please report any problems to me here and I'll do my best to address them.
You should be careful with previewing/editing your posts that your content is present and how it should be.

For your technical expertise. All you admins are the bomb. 
Thanks so much for the explanation! 
Your website reconfiguration coincided beautifully with a cable outage in my area, so I had no other recourse than to abandon my two new loves and return for the evening to my first: books. The local library sells culled books 5/$1 and I prefer older literature anyway, so my big house is crammed with so many volumes I'll never get through all of them. Normally I used to polish off at least 2 a week, but since finding DU it's turned out more like 2 chapters a week, and it's all your fault! 
Regardless, it would be lovely if at some time we could be favored with a strike-through key because it's so much snarky fun to type in one polite (?) word, usually GOP preferred, then strike it through and replace it with a more suitable choice. Shows more contrast that way.
BTW, thanks also for the superb selection of smilies. 
Free Republic has shown that you only have to update software once every ten years to have a new, exciting, hip-looking website.
