This modal window is clunky and frustrating. It needs some love but I guess for a first time effort by DotNetNuke - it's not too bad.

Some nice enhancements.

Interface is cleaned up alot.

How does one turn off all this stuff so it is smoother.  the pop up modal and sliding editor is ok but it's like double scrolling.  I would like to be able to have the option to turn this on and off.

Ok i was able to turn off the pop up editor - now background colour issue is the same but this seems to make it run a bit faster.
