If you have comments activated on your Drupal site, and you allow non-members to leave comments, by default Drupal will append "(not verified)" to the names of people who leave comments and aren't logged in to your site.

Yesterday I found this article showing how to add a button to the Yahoo UI Autocomplete Control to make it behave like a combo box (i.e. all of the autocomplete's suggestions are listed in a dropdown when the button is clicked).

I was working on doing exactly this before I found the article, but had run into some buggy behavior in my implementation. I was doing it basically the same way this article suggests, having the button call the Autocomplete's sendQuery() method, passing it an empty string. But the button would only work the first time it was clicked; after that, clicking the button would return no results in the Autocomplete.
