 Which version of IE? IE6 is outdated and no longer gets updated, and should no longer be used. Eve Microsoft says so. However at least one major nationwide bank supports only IE6 for their web site. Glad I don't bank there, with IE6 there is a far greatly liklihood of virus and spyware, and password grabbers. Even IE7 is getting long in the tooth considering IE9 is in beta now. Everythign works fine with IE8, and I have no issues with viruses or spyware. At LEAST step up to IE7 and banish the old hole-filled junk.

 ANd before someone chimes in thwi the "don't use IE" mantra, try using old outdated versions of Safari or FIrefox on modern sites. Just as bad.

I can't get the html codes to work--I know that they are on the message bar but I have gotten used to using  ([b][/b]. [i][/i]), and (

). They work like a champ over on Atlas.  I have yet to try special characters such as (alt>0276) or (alt>0475); I have, for the moment, misplaced my sheet containing these symbols but when I find it Ill try it!.

The version of IE is 7 and it is the only browser available at work on our network.  As I mentioned, I have a Mac at home and will see how it works on Safari.

- I fixed the line breaking issue when writing a post.  Any line break you write in the text editor will now appear properly in your post.  This will automatically get fixed in all previous posts as well so you shouldn't have to go back and fix anything. 

Quick note too.  If you ever want just a single line break when typing instead of a new paragraph (equivelant to 2 line break) you can acheive this by holding down the shift key when hitting enter.

Craig,

Thanks for all your hard work on the site.

I don't think this one is fixed, though.  I'm still having to manually enter an extra CR to get a blank line between paragraphs (as you can see from the formating of this post.  The do show up "correctly" in the text editor.

The pulldown menu under "Resources" at he top of the page shows up fine on the Safari browser on my Mac.  Either the issue has been fixed or it is an IE issue.
