I use firefox also. It's really weird. The text box is all grey, matching the border. I can't paste anything into it.

What is worse than that is that after the latest round of changes on AF, you can't cut'n'paste stuff quickly anymore. Why delete the ability to "cut"?

yeah..now maybe some of you understand why i get so many damn double posts.. cause it sticks..so i refresh the page and post again..but someitmes when i wait too long the first one goes through.

and the text box is weird..mines all white and the cursor doesnt show up untill i start typing.

I seen this go away before on other forums because it can be a security risk. If you can rename the link you can also insert a type of script that will allow unauthorized access to parts of the site.

I don't know how to do it(so my explanation is probably a little off), but I've seen it done.

mine does the same thing, like i'll type a new post and hit okay, then have to copy what i just typed refresh the page and paste and post.. then it works. it was nice with the old format because if it did that it would hold what i just typed even after i refreshed, and i could just post it... kinda weird
