problems

Answers to technical questions:

My guess about the grey box appearing is if you're on a slow connection. The message typing box uses HTML extensions that create the WYSIWYG format and that can exceed the page timeout on a very slow connection.

With regard to the spam preventer - the very reason you don't see spam messages is due to this filter. It wouldn't take a spammer very long to flood this forum and make it unusable with the fliter switched off. It prevents the automated scripts from getting through.

Hope this all helps!

yeah, sometimes the grey area in the posting happens to me aswell, i guess my connection is so slow that halfway thru loading it just gives up

if u want to save a message, u can copy it by selecting the text and then pressing the 'Ctrl' button (bottom left of keyboard) and the letter 'c' at the same time. i.e hold down ctrl and press c. then find out ur fact watever, go back to the topic and press ctrl+v to paste the message that u had copied.

also mark, a small annoyance, when im using broadband in my dads office i am often posting in about 3 different topics within 2 minutes, however this exceeds the posting amount and comes up with a spamming alert. is this really necassary? i know it is probably a built in thing to the 'web wiz forums' application but surely it can be turned off? the only time i hav ever seen spamming is by the poseidonyachts guy and that was just a bit of free advertising...

hope this helps more than it confuses headfry!
