This has been happening for a while, and I thought some update of FireFox would solve it. But, it hasn't, so I wanted to let you know.. Maybe the forum software has an update to address it.

When I post a message, then view it using firefox on MacOS X, I get a scroll bar in the body of the post. When I view it in firefox on my Windows box, there is no scroll bar. So, it appears to be a MacOS X thing.

I attached a PDF doc with a screen shot (screen caps in MacOS are saved as PDF, sorry) that shows the issue. I'll also try to find the appropriate place to report it to the Mozilla/Firefox developers.

I'm experiencing a disappearing cursor with Firefox on Windows XP. That's documented as a Firefox glitch though.

Pat, if you mean you can't see the cursor because it's close to the characters, I complained about this (a bug that was supposed to be already fixed for 1.0) and got the following fix, which actually spaces the chars further apart and makes the cursor a little more visible.

In usercontent.css, add
input[type="text"], textarea { letter-spacing: 0.08em !important; }
