Anyone else having trouble with editing posts?

I started a trouble ticket, but I was wondering if anyone else has been having trouble editing posts?A lot of my posts don't show the proper character or line spacing as I've typed it, but instead run them together without any spacing.I posted a couple pictures in a thread asking for places to mount the F5 switch, and instead of putting the three pictures on top of each other like I composed my post to do, it put two of the pictures side by side, eliminating the double line space.I use IE for all my posting, and tried through AOL (just a modified version of IE) to see if that made a difference, but I got no joy.The worse part is, I can't even edit the post when it gets screwed up, which seems to be a lot.Anyone else having probs?Stewart

lol... Sorry to laugh but I have a problem editing, but I do not have the problem with distorted text.

(that is a great example of what you were trying to say)

Edit: worked this time...

The post I was having trouble with had multiple pictures in it also. When it posted all the spaces I put between text and the pictures was gone, and I could not edit it it would not save.

I noticed the same thing.

Not sure whats up. Edit: doesnt do it on the initial post, but now when I edit it doesnt do the hard return correctly. And I cant use smileys or any of the text tools.

There is a problem in the system, one of the mods has brought it to IB attention.

Email response was for me to log off, clear my cookies, and defrag. I was also instructed to always log off of FTE when finished, but that woulda been a MAJOR pain in the tush because I visit up to a dozen times a day, and throughout the wee hours of the AM.

Anyway, I logged off and clear my cookies and everything works the right way again. I didn't need to defrag, but I did anyway, and I don't need to log off each time in order to keep the bugs at bay.

All is well for me.
