No. When I click edit, it pops up the edit window and all the command buttons are missing from below the text/rtf box. The parts above the missing command buttons are all visible. This problem is only occuring with the OP. The other posts' edit windows have the command buttons ok.

Furthermore, there's this weird HTML code at the end of the post. I am unable to add it through the 'attach code' button. It says potentially dangerous code....

Here's the error when I posted the code here:

Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (message=".../textarea><br> <p></p...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

Amazing. Been a victim of a FireFox bug! I can now edit the OP with IE but not with FireFox.

Edit: FireFox is now working fine after I removed the offending html code for linking to an external website.
