And you're right, it's more than just an overlay, but that's 95% correct! Crazybrowser got me hooked on tabbed browsing.

So long folks!

That's because (as far as I am aware) Crazybrowser isn't a browser in itself, but rather an overlay which uses the IE browser "engine".

I used to use Crazybrowser until Firefox came out. Crazybrowser is better than IE but is still susceptible to the same security flaws.

So long folks!

Thanks Bgrigg!  Opera8 is much better than 5, which I agree had too many short-comings.  Opera8 has several advantages.  The software used by newspapers etc to stop you copying pictures from their websites to your harddrive doesn't work with Opera.  However, you also don't get the pop-up info box for the pictures either.  Also, it's very user-friendly, and comes with a fantastic IRC client (better than mIRC).  However, some websites are not Opera friendly, and sadly, Finescale is one of them... As for Firefox, well, I'm using it now, and no websites are not Firefox friendly.

OK, this time using Firefox

Yippe!  it worked.  OK, so the problem is Opera...(or forum software which is not compatible with Opera.  Pity, it's probably the best browser around)

What type of computer is it? Mac or PC, what operating system and what browser are you using?

So long folks!

Any idea as to why when I try and quote, I get the HTML coding, but not the yellow box? I just click quote, with no alterations made...

The whole message from that person is inserted into the reply box for you when you hit the quote button....you can edit it from there or just reply to it- but their entire message is there.

How do you quote someone from your thread?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, February 11, 2005 10:58 PM
Hello:

I feel a bit ridiculous asking this question after all this time, but...

How do you include one of those yellow quote boxes in your discussion (when you want to single out and reply to something that someone has said earlier in the thread)? I see the "insert quote" button above. Does the quote simply go between the boxes that appear?

Thanks as always,

Mark
