I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.51 and images collide with text.
I really can't do anything about browsers that old -- 4.51 is five years old now, and there have been significant changes to the way browsers work since then. The forum will be usable without modern CSS support, but they won't be pretty.
Any modern browser -- Netscape 6 or 7, Mozilla 1.x, Internet Explorer 5 or 6, Opera, Safari, Omniweb -- should work. (I've tested in most of those.)

This would've been fixed much sooner, except everyone posted to the forums about it, and no-one sent me mail or a private message -- I've been checking the latter from work all day, but haven't had time to read all the posts to the forums.
I really like how it takes you to your post and not the start of the thread after you post a reply to a multi-page thread. About time, I say. Thanks, Rich.
as far as I can tell, one has to be smart enough to hit the style features, like bold and italic, before typing anything, lest that info comes only after what you have already typed? Right? otherwise you have to erase everything and start over. Highlighting or inserting by cursor does not work, as far as I can tell. I keep trying.
Tell us something.: I used to play pipes about 20 years ago and suddenly abducted by aliens. Not sure why... but it's 2022 and I'm mysteriously baack...

Don't you just hate it when your local restaurant

Lorenzo, not being computer literate I'll need some luck. I thought I clicked on the whatever to enlarge the font size, but it's still teeny! HELP!!!!!
Take your cursor and drag it across the word first to "blue" it in, then select Colour. Blue it in again to change Font. Each time you do it you'll see the brackets enclose it like bookends, automatically. Same with Bold or "B" italics, or the URL from the properties pasted here..blue it in first and click "img" above.
Oh...one thing more. The way it looks when you hit "preview" is the way it will look here.
Hm. Style changes still come at the END of what I type, I have to cut and paste commands to achieve above. And I now realize that I have to type in between the two color commands. Highlighting does NOT work still. maybe its the combo of browser and OS and some preferences I don't know about.
[img][/img] I know I can be a slow learner when it comes to tekkie stuff, but is there any way I can get the size of the fonts to be larger when I'm reading everybody else's messages???
Tell us something.: I'm a New York native who gradually slid west and landed in the Phoenix area. I like riding on the back seat of a tandem bicycle. I like dogs and have three of them. I am a sometime actor and an all the time teacher, husband, and dad.

You can make the message text larger in your browser by selecting "View - text" in Netscape or "View, Text size" in, uh, that other browser. Tried it with Netscape and it worked beautifully... No warranties, express or implied, about IE. Hope this helps.
