#61  Egg-celent! Identifier balloons as you run your cursor over the buttons would be nice. BTW, how does one color text?

#41  Hey Fred - New system's not accepting my nickname. I try entering Ricky bin Ricardo (Abu Babaloo) over the auto-generated nick, but it puts the auto-generated one at the bottom anyway. Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1, using Safari  3.2.1.

#40  BUG REPORT, when I press "Submit query" it instantly pops me to the head of page one, it does NOT go to the page where my comment posts.

I'm using win XP and IE currently. Jim D

#36  Now it's back the way it was. If it won't work at all with Opera I guess we can't use it.

which color are we calling salmon again?

to work
fine
Posted by: Lionel Shinemble2316   2008-12-06 12:37  

#30  It seems to work pretty well in Flock (Netscape replacement).  One problem in using Firefox - it won't "remember" your nic, and it reloads the entire page when you press "send".  I'm trying bold and highlight now, along with a few other options.  The underlined text is the only thing that doesn't seem to work.
Posted by: Bob Gloluth7170   2008-12-06 12:21  

#29  And in Chrome it appears perfectly fine...
Posted by: Thineper Turkeyneck7608   2008-12-06 12:18  

#28  Seems to work okay in Firefox under Ubuntu.
Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 12:14  

#27  You're right about the extra returns in IE. I can prob'ly fix them on the submit. Let me try it in Opera, though. That'd be a killer...

Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 12:02  

#22  Just tried it in Opera 9.0, and it doesn't work - at all.  The cursor is at the top of the page, not in the "comments" area.  You can't update the "Source" box or type any comments.  It displays everyone else's comments just fine.

#21  That didn't work well at all...
Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 11:59  

#20  Let me try the reload thingy again...
Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 11:57  

#19  Firefox 3.0.4
Posted by: ed   2008-12-06 11:39  

#18  its also not loading the page after the comment submission - and with IE, the db query flashes up there for a few seconds.  Also, I noticed the comments cozy up to the number in FF, but are inserted below it in IE submissions.

Comment box still looks the same on both. Some sort of RTF edit box.

#14  How does the bold text work?
Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 11:23  

#13  If you ask me, it looks like we can do some pretty spiffy comments with these new changes.
Too much for the typical doggerel that we produce. Phew! You had me worried Fred, then I tried the Bold and the background color and they didn't seem to work.  Keep it simple for old dogs.

#12  Except for having to reload, I mean...
Posted by: Fred   2008-12-06 11:13  

#11  Let me know which browser you're using when you report bugs. It seems well-behaved on Safari on the Mac.

Had to reload the page before the posted comment appeared.
