Review of 9 test:
Firefox: tests 1 thru 3 - Test 1 and Test 2 successful, Test 3 - blown away
IE: Tests 4 thru 6 - Test 1 and Test 2 successful, Test 3 - image loader session crash-n-burn but text can be entered and posted
Chrome: Tests 7 thru 9 - Everything was successful!!

Sidebar: Firefox & Chrome remember the last file directory used for uploading and repositions the file selection to that directory. IEputs ya back at "Computer" and you have to go for a walk to locate the desired image directory. I'm gonna check out "privacy" levels on IEas it's probably NOTallowing IEto store appropriate content on my machine.

Sidebar 2: IEcan remember the previous image upload directory and display mode options if and only if you turn off "protected mode". As a result you get an annoying "bell/chime" on every IEscreen and a warning message that I'm unprotected. Don't think I'll use IEfor anything but Microsoft-specific website requirements that demand the use of IE.
