Uploading a new attachment works, but at least some threads with attachments from before the move still doesn't show them.

I noticed the same thing, at home and at work (so it is not computer specific). I'd say its more like 1/5 the screen width. Not particularly a problem, just weird.

Even weirder, my Reply window just grew noticeably larger, after it grew smaller.

I logged in, checked a couple of threads, and posted a response in one; the window seemed normal size.

The next time I used it, it had shrunk to maybe 1/6th screen width.

Now, it's grown to 1/3rd screen width.

Huh.

I have a feeling the problem is in how different browsers interpret the source code in the web page. That would explain why Firefox "sees" it differently from MSIE. (There was a time when web page creators had to have several browsers available and use them to view a new page... to see if it looked the same, or at least okay, in the different browsers.)

Now, add this to the weirdness. I just posted a response in which I used the COLOR code. I highlighted the text, clicked the big A, and the reply window maximized itself. (There! It did it again! Didja see? And it stayed max'd even though I didn't select any color attribute.)

That time is now.

Using IE8?

My reply box is shrunk, too.

I've hardcoded the quick reply to be 450 pixels wide. Is that working?

The behavior's definitely changed for me - now it doesn't shrink, even when it's wider than the browser window.

It looks about 3 times wider now, for me. Holds around 80 characters default, across. It's a tad wider than the "non-quick" reply edit box that you get with the Quote button.

Yeah, this design won't shrink. I could make it scale, like be 50% of the available width, but that could break other things.

Ok, I don't know why, but the Quick Reply box is now back to its normal size.

Well, obviously they're not doing it now or we wouldn't be talking.
Right?

(It's interesting that the reply box looked okay in Firefox but not IE. MS is still the 800-lb gorilla, so you'd think a page developer would make certain the page looked okay in IE if nothing else. I'd expect any problem to be with Firefox or some other minor player. Is this anti-MS bias?)

I've found very few pages that work in Firefox but not in IE...I've found markedly more pages that work in IE but not in Firefox... which is a shame because I think the 'MS' in 'MSIE' stands for "More spyware!".

But here at work we're required to use IE anyway, so it's only from home that I get to use FF. (Oh, and I haven't gone on here from home since the server switch, but BAUT on FF always worked fine in the past).

Yes, all of our official work websites (including the ones I enter my time in and get my paystubs from) are only fully compatible with MSIE, which I've always found annoying: you can code to the official standards, or you can code to Microsoft. Why are you doing the latter?

It drives me crazy that I even have to keep IE on my computer at all. Actually, I have three browsers on my computer, because I like Opera best, and I like Firefox better than IE, and I need to have IE.

Had the boss in here griping that an ODBC driver (XML import for pivot tables) that existed in Excel 2000 no longer existed in Excel 2003. It took some restraint to keep a sympathetic face.

He once gave me a bit of undeserved grief over feature loss and broken features in Word (merge in particular) and Outlook that seriously impacted our ability to deliver correspondence and tax forms to our clients, and a similar "upgrade" of Crystal Reports. (Cranky day on both our parts, I think.)

Well, if he didn't quite believe it before, he believes it now. We haven't had a single Microsoft upgrade yet that has genuinely improved things.

It's not so much like asking for the deck chairs to be rearranged on the Titanic as much as complaining to the waiter about insufficient ice in their drinks.
