Hi, and thanks for your input. I couldn't agree with you more.

I have sent Ford Forums Admin RussellW a message about the formatting issues we are all having... along with the Quote function not working for me recently. The below was his reply (Thanks Russell);

Re: Posted messages not correctly formatted after editing

Solve one issue, create another.As a result of fixing the issue with Firefox inserting an extra line break at the end of a paragraph we now have the issue that once you edit a post (usually in FF) all the line breaks are stripped out.Quotes also don't work in FF when it's the last post being quoted and sometimes not at all but I've no idea why.

Yes, the finished email to the Cun sell was spick an span formatting wise.

I love english, and writing it.. Hate it when I post something that looks like I have no grasp on basic grammar.

The pics at the end of this post illustrate what happens after I spend a considerable amount and time and effort formatting my messages so they are legible, well punctuated, and if I'm really lucky, funny to!

Just thought I'd share some background on my computing skills with you guys.. Not bragging, just sayin... (misspelt on purpose)
I worked in the IT industry for a lot of years, as a P.C. tech in a computer shop for over 3 years. Then ran my own business for 5+ then worked for the Department of Education as a Network Admin for 10+ years.



Cheers,

One Man.
