Gonna try something. I had a problem with the code tag yesterday. It might be how it's highlighted, like highlighting from the end to the start or having a space at the start or end or something. Anyway just a quick test.

It's not only on my PC it's on every PC that I've testet it on so far. (about 10). All of them running Windows 98 or ME.

Example:
1) Click and drag your mouse over my avatar so it becomes elected (blue).
2) Scroll down to the "Post Reply" section.
3) Click the "Bold Text" button (B)
4) Scroll up to my avatar again, and you will find it diapeared, and replaced with the bold tags ([ b ] [ / b ]).

I think it must just check your highlighted text and put in the tags, no matter where it is. Rich is gonna have to make it only add tags to text inside the reply message.

I get an error every time I click on the buttons (even though they do work).

I love Star Trek.

Hehehe, same problem here... MS is the most damn thing ever... I'm so glad Mr.Bitmap helped me to take that MS virus away... today is just DevC++/DB/BB/3DGS...not more MS viruses in my pc... just windows...but hopefully we will get rid of it after another OS ( let's hope Linux ) become more user friendly/open source

I can fix the problem easy

You need to change the template so that the Post reply table is called "PostForm"

BoardLoginSmall -> PostForm

Lol, all will be fixed then!!!!

yup the focus carret is the description for where the computer is looking usually denoted by a flashing symbol for input but not always.
