Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

several small requests

I have a couple of minor requests, nothing urgent.

-- When we add items using the "Add to Skritter" bookmarklet, this opens in a new tab every time. Is it possible to have this reuse a single tab? I do a lot of adding using that bookmarklet and it creates a lot of tabs which are then pretty much useless.
-- Again with the bookmarklet, could the page it displays have a link back to the queue?
-- When you change the forum's sort order, the heading seems to stay on "Updated" instead of changing to "Created". This is on Chrome 5.0.342.9 beta.
-- The link from the vocab page to the tags page is not super obvious; maybe it could be made a little bigger and bolder? I missed it when I looked for it just now.

As for the first one, you guys should tell MDBG that too!

For MDBG adds, it's different because a lot of people will be prompted to sign up for a Skritter account in that tab that opens. If we then overwrite that tab with the next word they add, Skritter is gone!

But for the bookmarklet, it should reuse tabs. I have changed that and will upload today. Update your bookmarklet tomorrow for justice.

I've added a link to the Queue on the "word added" page and changed the sort heading and dates when it's sorting by "Created". Good calls.

Made the "browse by tags" bigger and underlined.
