I don't suppose there's any way we can get the forum drop-down selections to display the various forums of the watch either alphabetically or by the order it appears?

Only in theory. In practice, only Jay (I think ) and (or maybe only) Vain can do it. (I think they can do it.) Which means it's almost the same as if it can't be done... 
What I do is when I click on the drop-down, I type the first couple of letters of the forum name. Works, except for ones that start with "the."

LOL. I forgot about that one. Also forgot to delete that post after I tested it out.

Nah, I was just thinking about someone quoting me with my new name formatting and wondering if that would screw with the post formatting somehow (I remember one remark I made once appeared entirely invisible because of the way I punctuated it). Thought I'd see if changing my name to an actual tag would affect anything (at least the quoting of my posts).
I'll change it back eventually, though I'm curious as to how many people will start calling me "[Quote]." (I didn't expect anyone else to use the []'s)

That wouldn't be anything new, eh? In a couple places where I worked, there would occasionally be somebody that I'd known for about a year who would be surprised to learn that my real name isn't Jack.

Another Djak I met online once told me it's the Esperanto spelling. I never knew.
