AnOther Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Twas all OK yesterday but now my reply box is a tiny window about 20% of the screen width and with no formatting tools.Using Firefox with updates turned off so nothing changed here plus it's the same on my Netbook which hasn't even been turned on for a week so it's definitely your end.http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p123/biskitboyo/forum.jpgCan't post a link either !

cooperlola Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 THAT looks just like mine does if the compatibility view is switched off in Windows 7.Do you have the torn paper icon next to the address bar in Furyfox?No probs at all with W7 once compatibility view is on.

Loiseau Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 OOh yes, I've got a small box, and no smileys (?smilies) on Firefox. Very weird.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 And it won't let me put in a hyperlink, and when I go back to the old way of writing out the code longhand, it chooses to not interpret it as a hyperlink.I can see smilies though - but it won't let me post them!

Clair Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 For FF users: until this is resolved, I suggest using IETab add-on (Internet Explorer simulator), which gives FF the usual editing functions, smilies and a large reply box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 All very well Claire but if I have to use that then I might as well use IE or Maxthon in the first place.What is it with your CF IT bods anyway, don't they test these things, if they worked for me I'd fire them for sloppiness.

I have no idea what they're doing, as they certainly don't ask for my opinion b4 making changes!! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 [quote user="woolybanana"]Great Bobo in a bucket, what a load of bolognese to avoid using Microsoft[/quote]No hassle really, as I have always had IETab added to FF.I haven't used IE for years. All my favs, toolbars, passwords and settings are in FF and I really don't want to fiddle around with IE when I can just carry on as usual after just one click...
