why dont forums work normally?

so why does this forums not work like all other forums I use


I cant edit postings I have made and firefox cant spell check what I type in this box, I have to use the spell checking feature which sucks to use and its another step as well


when I type here its not a normal size and when I press "Enter" to go to another line it brings me 2 lines down not 1


I cant use the right click to paste something into this window, it says "Currently not supported by your browser, use keyboard shortcuts instead." - I am using Firefox like everyone else on the internet except for stupid people who still use IE or people who use something else like safari or chrome and so on, but its Firefox so why isnt it supported


whats the problem here and why not use something like vbulletin of whatever else that all other forums use that works fine

I also got this message while trying to post this - "

• Errors:
  1. - Tag span may not have attribute id"

"Shift-Enter" will take you down one line.

One thing you might want to keep in mind though, selective paragraphing with 2 lines is more readable than a "wall of text".:P

If a post looks like a wall of text, some answers could be "tl;dr".:P

yea if you look at my postings I really space things out

I try to type as if I was talking out loud to someone and I pause at points - I also put these "-" in place of a period because I dont do a good job at writing things that are "proper"

yea a "Shift Enter" will take me 1 line down but who decided that - I normally type and autoatically put 2 lines between each line anyways so typing here results in larger then normal spaces

but why is it not working like all other forums I use - why cant firefox spel check it

why cant firefox spel check it

When you quoted him, did you use quick quote or regular? If regular quote, were you using the editor or not using it? I only ask because he clearly has the editor turned on, and (I can't believe I'm saying this) that's why he's having problems. I don't know about copy/pasting, but I do know that the editor gives an extra space unless you hold shift then press enter. It also doesn't tell you if you got misspelled words unless you ask it to.

I only use quick quote/reply. I have the editor on but it doesn't load for quick quote reply unless I hit "preview". You don't get misspelled words in red text?

I don't if I use the editor. I do without it though. If I hit spell check I get the red line. Also, I just tested the copy/paste thing while using the editor. TC's right. It doesn't work. I guess I've just never had a problem with it because I always use shortcut keys.

I do wish that it would flow better whether we use the editor or not.

Also, thanks for mentioning preview. I guess that helps somewhat, though I still think it should be faster.
