Hey, is there a way to tell the forum's context menu to go away? I'm on a mac, which means I get spell checking in my browser (and believe me, I use it ALL the time, lol). However, the  widget that is being used in the forums now overrides that with a pretty silly one: Copy, Paste, cut. Why would you need those menu options from javascript...ever? Doesn't EVERY browser do those for you with either a context menu provided by the OS or by the normal menu and keyboard short cuts? That seems like a big waste. Maybe you could manage my bookmarks there too:P Add a widget to control my ipod?

Plus, since you provide one, my spell check is gone...I still see the squiggles, but I can't let it fix them for me:(

Just a minor annoyance. Whomever you got the widget from needs to take a minute and think about what they are doing. No need to reinvent stuff in a slow language that is already provided by the OS.
