Am I the only one with this problem?

[Iowachild]

For years I have used Netscape browsers. Then sometime after this site up-dated I found I could not use the buttons (smilies, fonts, insert link, etc.). I then downloaded Firefox 1.0.7 and everything worked fine. Now the buttons have stopped working on Firefox. As with Netscape I can type in the box and make a post, but not with any of the features. In order to use the buttons I have to open IE. Has anyone else experienced this?

BTW TBN is the only posting site I visit so I cannot say whether or not the problem exists on other sites.

Works fine for me with Firefox...my guess is, your editor account settings need a tweak.

Click here to get to your account options.

Scroll to the bottom, and make sure the "Message Editor Interface" option is not set to "Basic Editor" - either of the other two will give you the options you are looking for. I use the "Standard Editor", as the "Enhanced" option is a little bloated and flakey for my tastes...

Replying from Firefox 1.5.0.7

and, I even discovered
that there are indent icons

​

• bullets
• and more bullets

1. or numbers
2. and more numbers

One can even right justify

center

or be a a left justify kind of personality

GOSH!! I MAY NEVER STOP PLAYING WITH THE EDITING FEATURES.

SEEMS THERE is all too much power in the editor... never will get any work done now

Hmm... Mike, have you updated to the latest version of Firefox? I would recommend getting the latest of whichever is your favorite browser.

I know some of the features use more "modern" features that might not be in older browsers. But you should be able to go to the "basic" posting options. But I would recommend getting the latest browser version.

Ibrahim,

I noticed Texasjohn stated he was using Firefox 1.5.0.7. So I up-dated and now it seems to be OK.

However, everything did work when I first started using the older Firefox. That's what I don't understand!

I stopped using FireFox due to problems when downloading/viewing PDF files. Too often the computer would freeze.

I have tried several times to use FireFox - different versions, including the very latest - but to no avail. I still have problems.

So, I am back to using IE. But, I have added a little program called AdMuncher. The latter takes out the ads the same as FireFox.

Iowachild, hate to tell you... a computer is like a woman.... just about the time you figure everything is working fine, something happens

And, if you think that you can understand what happened, you got another think coming

Just count your blessings if you are able to fiddle around a bit and get things going OK again
