When I click on "submit", the page loads, but then goes back to "new message" page with an empity message box. I guess it does the same thing as when I would click on "reset". Like after 30 tries, it sometimes does work. So I'm going to try to get this post through, but I'm not going to try this another time, so try not to ask, just answer. Thank you.

500th try: Ok I found Internet Explorer from my computer and nowI'm trying to post this by using it. If this works, something's wrong with my firefox. Could anyone have any idea what is the problem with my firefox?

The symptoms you describe are strange, but you've already learned something important by trying another browser: the problem is almost certainly a configuration issue with the browser having the problem. The main suggestions would be fairly standard: clear your browser's cache and cookies, and then restart the browser. If the problem persists you might need to disable/remove any extensions you have installed, maybe giving safe mode a try. If the problem still persists after that, back up your bookmarks and perhaps any other settings of importance, and then uninstall and reinstall the browser. The uninstall/reinstall is pretty extreme, but it might be the quickest way to straighten out a configuration problem when you don't know where to look. After that you'd want to be very careful about adding extensions back in. I also notice you are using the wysiwyg editor. I'm not sure how that could matter, but I strongly distrust it in general, and it might be worth disabling it in your profile settings under the forums tab. You don't mention when the problem started, and if anything else happened on your system around that time. It might also be a good idea to make sure all your anti-malware is up to date and doing what it's supposed to.

Thanks for the reply!

I deleted all the history stuff, but it didn't seem to help. I'm not going to uninstal the firefox yet, if I'm going to lose all of the bookmarks and add-ons when uninstaling...
