Is it just me that finds it so very difficult to use any Browser other than The BBSE (IE) on here?
Khal is there any chance of you even pretending to give a shit about this?
Why am I asking again?

Yes - I get that here with FF. And a few of the tag buttons don't appear in FF, neither does the spell checker.
Nuisance really, as MS stopped supporting the Mac OS for Explorer in December '05, so Explorer won't work with my current Macs at all. Netscape is not always able to cope with interaction on websites generally so I don't use that as a default, but FF works everywhere... except here.

Just the Mac since OS X.xxx , did a bit of Linux-fiddling before that but it's not really my area of expertise - you'd need to talk to my brother about that, he's the family über-geek.

As a Firefox user I want to add my weight to this subject. It's unacceptable to not support other more standards compliant browsers than Excrement Explorer.

I get similar but the other way round. I can only add a smiley if I've added text first. And I don't get all the action link images either....

I got a suprise to realise it looked and worked differently when I loaded it up under IE7.
So I used Opera instead, not much of an improvement on FF. The forum SW really isnt very good.

Nope FireFox is from the Mozilla Project but Mozilla has loads more toys than FF (as its purely a browser)

Yup - a bit of a cack one too, especially the sfx.
That said, as a small boy into aeroplanes, I remember thinking it was great when I first saw it.

I'm using 'IE Tab' for a few sites on my work notebook. Our standard at work is Firefox, but we have to use a few sites that it doesn't work as well with, BIKE forum being one of them.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
After adding the above & restartig, open the website as normal with FF, and leftclick on the tiny icon in the tray at the bottom - voila, displayed as if in IE, but still in FF. For sites that you want to do this with permanently (Amazon is another, search box is dicky with FF) you can rightclick & add it to the list instead.
Works for me.

I only use firefox for browsing at work, and occasionally Safari for a double-check.
You can type into the reply box straight away - but the cursor doesn't appear until the first key-stroke.
