OT _ Technical PC Question

I have been having tons of trouble with Internet Explorer so I got rid of it and just downloaded Firefox. I think I like it so far. However I am having one particular problem on the board since I've been using Firefox. My format bar when posting a message has disappeared.

Does anyone know how to get it back?

Does anyone else use Firefox and how do you like it while visiting this board?

Hi Karezz,
This is great that you started using Firefox! Firefox rules! I've been using it since the very 1st version came out. Sometimes, I have to use IE and I can't get over the fact that people actually use it! Firefox is so much powerful and easier! It's the most secure, adaptable, and easy to use browser out there so far. You can download skins (to make it look pretty), extensions (e.g. display the weather, email notification, dictionaries), there are tons of things you can do!!! I find most useful - flash-blocks, ad-blocks, pop-up blocks.

Apparently, formatting options are available ONLY under IE. "Message Formatting ... (This feature is only available for those using Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer running on the Windows operating system.)"

Hi Karen,


I also have firefox downloaded but keep it open in a seperate window and use IE for messageboards.


Firefox won't let you change font, size, color.
