> When you go to open another post or switch to another board to fetch another post then your original posting box tries to close itself.
If you can use an "open link in new window" (or tab) option, that will keep the new post from clobbering the posting box.
Also, have you considered just composing in Word or whatever?

It happens there, too.
> I am not keen on frames because I like to see as much of the board as possible. In the framed version some headings take up two lines so you see less of them on the page.
Right, but they still don't all fit on one page, do they? So it's just a matter of scrolling a couple more times to get through them all...
