The update was planned for today, but we’ve had to push it back a couple of days. We now expect to upload the new patch this Thursday afternoon (December 12). Sorry for the delay.

That is annoying. Or maybe leave the markup buttons below the displayed smilies (above the text box) so there isn't a need to hide them? 
No problem.
Take your time. We aren't going anywhere!
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
