I've always had this in firefox... the best way I found to get around this is to press preview which then takes you to the full edit page, without losing the text you have already written.

Some of the code in PNphpBB2 is generating illegal anchor statements, which presumably is the problem. I'll look to see if the newer version fixes this.

This is a case of IE being cr*p but since a lot of people test their code with it, this means that more "correct" browsers appear to "break" the page (read: they uncover bugs that IE hides).

I can fix the code, but merging in all of the fixes I make over time into new versions of the code gets tedious to put it mildly.

I'll add this to my list. :roll:

Hmmm, must start a list .... :oops:

Is the fact that my smileys are animated in IE but not in Firefox anything to do with this?

My smilies are animated OK in Firefox 1.0 as long as I turn Zone Alarm Pro OFF.

Different issue altogether Steve.

Makes no difference whether Zone Alarm Pro is on or off for me, animated in IE, not in Firefox. Doesn't really matter that much, just one of those irritations - like why those tripod images were okay for you and me but not, seemingly, for anyone else.

Well an animated gif is an animated gif, and TMC's not responsible for anything that turns it un-animated.

Those Tripod images - that had to be something at their end - I can't see it can have been a TMC problem. Both the correct image and the "dummy" one came directly from them and had the right address. The TMC server was not involved and the HTML was correct. Rum do.

Just another couple of examples of the joys of life in 'net-land!
