I'm still not wild about the speed - we do too much unnecessary DOM manipulation when loading threads. But, we could probably release what we have now and leave fixing that for a later release. I'm due to be out of town for a couple of weeks, after which i'll have more time and a faster laptop... so one way or another, i'll get happy with the speed. 
I guess if no-one else feels like there are show-stoppers, we can dump what we have now. The forum watch and quickbio stuff oughta make a few people happy.

Eh. Hold of just a bit. I have a few changes I'm making right now.

Alright. I'm done. I moved QuickBio out into its own plugin area (like ForumWatch). Just keeps things a bit cleaner. I reworked the inline menu code (the menu that pops up for the smileys, fonts, etc) and it's noticeably faster now. The only major updates we've done for this release are QuickBio and ForumWatch and moving the prefs into GlobalStorage. There are some speed improvements in small areas. I'm expecting we'll do more speed stuff for the next release. (2.0?) And the next release will have a better control panel in the lightbox and user-configurable key-bindings and all that jazz. We should also work on the CP API stuff so that we can have good abstractions for the things we do the most.
This should also be the last time we need to update the cphog.user.js file...ever. It does the most minimal bootstrapping job it can. All it loads is FreshGrease and jQuery.
I'm driving back to San Diego tomorrow from Austin. I'll have net access some of the time and I'll probably check my e-mail every so often. Go ahead and do the release tomorrow if everything looks fine to you. All my tests have worked just fine, so it should be good to go.
One last note. The changelog file is currently living in my profile and the URL to it is hardcoded in cphogHelp.js. If you want to change that so it's hosted in your account, that's okay...or you can leave it as is. I don't really care. Remember to grab the new images as well.

Fantastic. Not sure if it's the new jQuery or other changes you made, but load times are subtly but noticeably better.
I'm stuck behind a crappy firewall here in the office 'till my car gets done being fixed; if no-one has started screaming about monsters by then, i'll release it. Otherwise, i'll just post in The Lounge about how great it is and nya nya nya y'all don't get it...

Since there seem to be an awful lot of worthless posts getting vote-deleted lately, i figured someone might find this useful, if only in satisfying their curiosity:
Download userscript here[^]. Adds "show content" link to deleted posts.
It's not polished at all - notably, it doesn't work if you navigate to a post using the keyboard or a direct link. But frankly, i haven't found it useful enough to spend any time on it, so... take it for what it's worth.

When you click on the Show Content and then click on the Username to show the account profile, it doesn't work. If you click on the Username without clicking on Show Content, it works fine.

Huh, weird. Eh, quick'n'dirty is as...whatever.

In this post[^] the poster wrote some code in bold, but the colorizer overrides that formatting with its own, so I can't tell which part of the code he's talking about. It would be nice to have another link at the top of the block that reverts back to the regular <pre> styles.

Sounds reasonable. Done.
(you may need the latest userscript[^] to see the toolbar, but there ought to be a show original item on it now...)

Move the mouse over a message or username that is towards the bottom of the screen such that there's not enough room to preview either, and it flickers forever.

Huh? Not sure what you're talking about - i can hover over anything* without flicker... 
*except a candle flame. But i don't really want to hover over those...

If you have FF[^] maximized and move the mouse to the last post above the bottom of your desktop, you may see it flicker[^]. I know it does on mine.

Hmm... 'fraid i just don't see it.

I'm on my laptop now and I don't see it at home. I consistently see it at work. Must be a plugin or something.

Any chance you can add the post preview in the messages posted page please?

Only by loading all 50 messages in the background. That would be... slow.

Inspired by Bassam's question below:
If you could pick anything, what would you like to see on a "CP overview" page?
Personally, i'm interested in seeing:
- new / updated articles
- popular articles
- forum watches
- current poll + poll results
- site search
Most of these are currently on the main page, along with a lot of other stuff i never use (ads, articles menu, news, etc...)
Thoughts?

We probably can't remove those. I doubt we'd make Chris happy.
My CP Overview page would look exactly like yours. I'd probably expand the forum watches for that page to the last 10 threads, though. I'd have a short summary of the first post underneath the title (first 100 characters?) A count of how many messages posted in each thread since my last visit, etc. (Some of those are plans I have for the current forum watch code...)
I'd bump the poll up near the top of the page, since I'd like to give it a bit more visibility. I'd make the article categories I watch a little bit more fine-grained.
I'd get rid of the product showcase, since I don't care. Or at least move it down the page a lot, so I don't have to care.
etc. etc. etc.
We are certainly uncertain
at least I'm pretty sure I am...
