I absolutely detested the old way, of automatic loading On Netscape 6.2 on Linux, it loaded pages automatically upon checking/unchecking (any action). I always got page loads when I didn't want them, having to stop the many autoloads of diffs I didn't want while swearing outloud. I was *very thankful* for the new interface where a button-press was required.. The auto-switching of radio buttons is a little freaky though. That I can certainly do without.

We used to have a system where we had just a row of checkboxes, and as soon as you had clicked two, it would load the diff, without requiring you to click a button. I wonder why we didn't keep that? I preferred that. Then again, it is conceivable that it might not have worked in older browsers, or some people might have thought it was unintuitive?
