Baz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I know it has already been raised and the developers have been asked to resolve this. But I suspect with more people upgrading to IE7 which is very good, will be totally frustrated with the little message box and the loss of hyperlinks, colours, size of type etc. Trying to use the little box is a nightmare as you have no control of paragraphs and the quote box shows up as an encrypted message on the postings.I for one find posting now so difficult to the point that I am considering suspending using this site until the problem is resolved. I am sure that other contributors will be faced with the same frustrations as they update to IE7 that the daily responses to LF will dramatically drop. I use the internet extensively and LF is the only site that appears to have this problem. Please Forum Admin treat this situation with urgency now as you have been aware of the problem for sometime.BazPS.

Cassis Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Funny thing is, if I take, say, Cat's post and quote it, it all comes out fine (I use Firefox, but not everbody likes it).[quote user="Cat 46"][quote user="Baz"]I know it has already been raised and the developers have been asked to resolve this.
