Default Bring back the old format

This new format sucks to say the least.

You can no longer copy and paste info to a post.
Tab button doesn't move you to the next button.
It's a lot more confusing for people to use, and it's going to drive people away or cause people to stop posting as much.

Either fix this version to make it operate like the old version, go back to the old version, or get another new version that works...................something has to be done.

I just copied and pasted your whole post below. I don't know what you are talking about. I did not quote it. I just went to your post and copied the whole thing. I find the new format very easy to use. You just have to give it a chance to work. My tab button works fine. It's different than the old format but we had tons of complaints about it too. It's easier to post pictures now and all you have to do to delete them is hit edit, click on the picture and hit delete. It's easier to use the bold, center, font size. You don't have to bracket everything you do anymore. There are always going to be complaints when you change things because people hate change. Give ita chance.

Well, it seems it's just with Firefox that the forum works like crap. I just tried using IE and everything works OK.

Does anyone know why Firefox has issues with this new format?

I like the new format! I like the quick reply box and the new way to post pictures. It definately seems to be running faster. Now if I could just get it to quit bumping me offline all would be great!

It's very weird that Firefox is having a hard time with the new forum format.

I'm running the newest version of Firefox, just updated it about 2 weeks ago.

I can't copy/paste anything, and when I tab it doesn't move to the next button......it just moves about 5 spaces ahead.

I have no problems with the new format at all, I barely even notice a difference.............except for these 2 big things to me.
