Great job so far!

I don't know if you want a trouble shooting forum, but this is what I've noticed.

I generally highlight with the mouse when I read, I guess its just a habit. I've noticed that when you highlight in the message part of a post, the highlight is about 3 times the size of the text. This blocks the text you are highlighting as well as the text above and below, making it illegible. When you highlight in the signature area, everything is OK. Kind of strange, I just thought you'd like to know.

Keep up the good work!!

hmm.. this has to do with the code that is being used to space the text...

basicly.. the code I refer to is CSS which in this case is being used to format the text that you are reading in this form. Residing in a file that the server calls when it puts this page together, is a function that says.. ok, whenver we need to print text that goes in that forum post.. we will give it 5 pixels of horizontal padding and 5 pixels of verticle padding with a verdana font and a bright white font color and a 12 point fontsize. the H and V spacing is what is causing this as when you drag your mouse accross the text, your browser sees this spacing as part of the text you are highlighting..

I might consider taking this off as I think aboiut it. The loss of style will probably be better than the inconvenience of doing what you are attempting to do.. it is all about accessiblity for you..

thanks for the insight on that.. smile.gif
