quick notes repeating themselves?

Hi folks,
I turned quicknotes on for a few minutes to check out those commands, since I thought it was neat seeing the main help command on each page. I typed the con command, and then, to get to the quickest way to turn them off, I toggled them to private and then went in my account to turn them off completely. When I left back arrowed out to get to the home page again, I noticed the qn's were repeating themselves. I know it was a repeat, because they were talking about bad phone service, and the conversation was exactly the same, word for word, as it was 5 minutes earlier, just before I turned quick notes back off. I still think it would be neat to have a command to turn them off completely, then we wouldn't have to go in to our account, click here to change profile settings, arrow down to the quicknote preferences. Could it be something like, /togqnoff? just like togqn, but with the added off on the end of it, and maybe if you had them off, there could be a command to turn them on, togqnon. Just a thought,

Ya, that command's coming at some point. The first step was adding that box, as you now see.

/togqn already switches public quick notes both off, and on again. no need for anymore modifications.

No, she wants a command to go from no quicknotes at all to either public or private.

Thing is, this is just lasyness. Wanting more and more commands for such things. why not just make a command to more swiftly reach our account settings or ignore settings which I know some want. then we'd have all possible options we wanted streight away. This just seems a little like spoon feeding to be honest. It's not difficult clicking a couple of links, especially if they're ones you use often. I'm certain that Jaws has a keystroke for jumping to visited links the way windowEyes does, so how difficult is this really?

well black bird, I had to give up jaws 6, because of problems, and just because they're there, doesn't mean you have to use them. This would be good, like when someone wants you to turn qn's on, but then drops you, like they so often do. When people do that, I want them off quickly. just because a feature is there doesn't imply you have to use it.
