Hi Barry
This concerns what is displayed when you click on "Reply Privately" in a posting. If you are using Firefox (which is what I usually use) the material in the box that you type your response into is formatted as it would appear (in other words the results of the html are displayed) This means a space at the top, a horizontal line and then the original post below that.
In Safari, on the other hand, the html code itself is displayed, which starts at the very top of the box and leaves no aparent room to type your response. (To make matters worse, in neither case is there a text entry cursor at the proper text entry position; you have to click there to type.)
This made for a very frustrating tech support call from a naive user who was seeing something other than what I was seeing, and I was competely unable to tell him how to get his cursor in the right place.
Thought you would want to know.
All the best
Patrick
