  • I don't know if this is intentional, but the "thing" obscures the page. Can it be made to be part of the page? I know you can close it, but I hate having to do that EVERY time (perhaps log the fact that it has been closed in my cookie, and don't keep displaying it).

      Allow me to quote myself for context (with added emphasis):

      This widget is on the lefthand side of the page, covering up text. A horizontal version is coming soon.

      I don't know what you mean by "a part of the page" -- I assume you mean static and doesn't move? -- but that wouldn't help here, since where it is on the lefthand side would cover up something regardless. Anyway, any change like that would require additional work, which we will instead put into the horizontal version (not sure if you're familiar

          Yes, but only because it is on the side of the page. It's been horizontal and floating on useperl for months, and I cannot recall a complaint about it. So when we get the horizontal version of this one working, I suspect you will find it unobtrusive.
