also with the hurray!

You folks are a-mazing! :-) What you've built depends not only on adept technical wizardry, but on a effectively herding a loose-but-cooperating virtual community. I bow to your accomplishments in both areas!

But, umm, sorry to bring up a new problem? I'm having major formatting issues on my posting page? All the drop-down/fill-in boxes stuff that normally appears below the text-entry box is appearing right on top of it. I can still enter text and it posts to my blog fine, but that editing page looks Quite Messed Up?

(LOL - ironic that the spellchecker doesn't recognize the word 'blog')

Let me guess -- you're using IE6?

We don't officially support IE6, because it's a ten-years-old browser with major security issues and bad, bad rendering. Might I recommend Firefox?

If you can't upgrade for some reason, if you add ?usescheme=lynx to the end of the update page URL (http://www.dreamwidth.org/update.bml?usescheme=lynx), or select the Lynx style from the browsing preferences, you may have better luck.

You are so smart! :-)

I'll try Firefox first. Thanks for the speedy reply!

Slick! Clean layout! Yay, Firefox. :-)

Also - upgrading IE now. It escapes me why I haven't done it yet. Thanks for your patience.

Awesome. (Firefox is, objectively speaking, a much better browser anyway -- it's a lot more secure and flexible.)

Thanks for this tip about Lynx. I use IE 6 at work because that is all they offer, and for some strange reason, will not upgrade it.
