I'm not sure if this is a mozilla issue or something else, but when I reply/post, the textarea doesn't line-wrap under mozilla. On mozilla's bugzilla page, the textarea inputs do wrap. It probably has something to do with the

wrap="virtual"

tag used here.... could this be changed? no word wrapping is REALLY annoying.

This has been brought up before and I belive it turned out to be a mozilla thing. Not positive though. Its not *THAT* annoying anyways.

Its not mozilla, or Netscape
its fusetalk
the more you type the further it goes
its one of the many annoyances that people just put up with here, since if you complain, they just say "tough"

the viaarena forum (also Fusetalk) has been up for at least six months and you still cant make a post with a
link there and edit it without re-entering the link because it changed to code from HTML.

so, you live with it.

as they say on the Soprano's: Whattayougonnadoabbouddit?

well if it really is mozilla, you'd think it would be in bugzilla already....

edit: and i find it REALLY annoying, i need to see what i'm typing so i can be coherent

Does it also do this at other FT forums (other than the previously mentioned viaarena?)

Viareana just hasn't updated (regarding the link issue) that is certainly not fusetalks problem. Don't be too quick to start ragging on software. Will investigate the word wrapping issues you are having, fusetalk has nothing to do with if wrap=virtual works or not, thats an HTML standard used in both IE and Netscape.

Update, so far it is a netscape bug, when a style parameter is used to set the width of a text area it ignores wrapping. IE does it correct and wraps no matter the size. If there is a workaround it will be done. Probably will have to set fixed column widths for text areas in netscape, ugly and not very good for nice UI's but thats netscape/nutscraper for you.

I was just going to go look for a fix for this, just starting putting Mozilla to the test. (Was looking for some free MP3's, Vivaldi Four Seasons Autumn on the net and everywhere I landed was bombarding me with Pop-ups so severly that I decided it was new browser time where I could shut them off or get another tray program to further load down my system).
