I've lived with it for 2+ years but now I finally decided to let y'all know about it.

If you have debug enabled or warn for all errors in Internet Explorer 6 (which I do as a web developer because I need to see them if I've caused any) then the thread compose window causes such an error when you try to insert a hyperlink or an image. As you click on the button an error appears like this:

Debugging it, I see that you've got a double # symbol where you're trying to set the color:

This can also be seen by entering this command into the address bar while in the compose window:

The fix I've been using to get around this is to enter this into the address bar:

javascript:alert(istyles["pi_button_down"][3]="1px solid #FF9900")

This proves that the ## is the problem because after doing that, the page works fine.

LOL....What took you so long! :)

Thank you kindly for the note and the FIX information. I found the ## and removed one of them.

Thank you again!

LOL....What took you so long! :)You know how it is, you keep thinking "one of these days I'm gonna take some screenshots and let 'em know" :rolleyes:

It's only one in 20 posts that I insert an image or a hyperlink though so it never bothered me too often, and I knew I was in the minority having IE set to alert me about the smallest things it wasn't happy with.

I think this is a first actually. Telling a site of something I spotted and they reacted to it. I'm in shock :eek: Just shows how much TCF rules :up: :D
