Why is it that Jive went to all the trouble of implementing crummy Ajax to load other pages of a thread--but they didn't bother to create 'shortcut links' that scrolls the screen to a user's post (when you click on the username link to see what a post is in reply to). Instead, what happens for me at least, we get an entirely reloaded page which then scrolls to the post for the link you clicked. I mean come on: I remember putting together web pages when I was a kid that could do that correctly, without a page reload--and it was easy!!!

I bet Jive is hating you right about now. Then maybe not.
