odd formatting (View New Posts)

When I click View New Posts, the key displayed at the bottom of the posts looks funny using Mozilla Firebird (see attached image). It looks ok with IE and Netscape 7. When I go directly to a forum (not View New Posts), it looks ok under Firebird.

I'll look and see if I can find a Pontiac removal tool.

I have noticed the same thing using Firefox, but since no one else complained, I figured it was the older copy of Firefox I was running. I will have to check it out.

It does it with Mozilla 1.6, too. I haven't upgraded to any version of Firefox yet (I really need to get around to it).

This is a little off topic here but what are the advantages of using FireFox or Mozilla over the SP2 version of Internet Explorer? Am I missing out on something cool by not trying these programs out?

Tabbed browsing! At least that's my favorite feature.

Mainly, they are more secure (they don't have all IE's ties into the OS).

I think you should take a look at Firefox.

Another confirmation of the mangling. I've noticed it since I started using Firefox 0.9.3 but I don't use 'em so I didn't say nothin'.

Also another vote in the hat of tabbed browsing. It took a little getting used to, but now I love it! All your opened pages in a single program, no alt+tabbing to find the web page you want, awesome.

I can't complain about MS too much as I use a lot of their software and happily, but who's taking bets on that being the next feature they "create" for IE?

Somebody has written a tagged-browser plugin for IE but I've never used it. I'm surprised that MS hasn't included it yet.

In Mozilla/Firebird/Firefox, you can set it up so that a middle (wheel) click on a link will open a new tabbed page. Then, middle clicking on that tab will close it. It's a much faster way to manage multiple pages/windows. It drives me nuts when I need to use IE and can't do this.

Opera 7 looks the same as IE 6 on this forum

I just installed the latest version of Firefox, and no longer see this issue, am I the only one?

PS: if you install the latest version, be aware that most of your extensions will no longer work.
