Expanding a collapsed thread is noticably slower than IE or Opera.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. First Select "DThread" from the Comments Format drop down near the top right.
2. Then press the small +- icon in the top left of one of the threads.
3. Now press the icon again. Observe the noticable delay and reloading here.
This is not present in other browsers I have tried.
Actual Results:  
Thread slow to un-collapse.

Expected Results:  
Un-collapsing a thread instantly.

Thats because Mozilla is told to reload the page.
From http://www.shacknews.com//jazz/jazz_functions.js
function showBlock( c )
...
if( !checkIt( "msie" ) ){location.reload();}

The Shack code has been rewritten and this bug no longer appears.
