Unfortunately you need to become a member to see the problem. Join up the BBS
then post a message. The textarea for the message body is not visible. The
problem doesn't occur with iexploder 6 or with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98;
en-GB; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041201


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log into the abovementioned BBS. Join. Wait for password :-|
2.Post a new msg
3.Where to type the message...

Actual Results:  
No box to type a message in

Expected Results:  
Showed the box

I think the section of code is this (I'm not much of a HTML expert)

  <td class="messagecellbody" valign="top" colspan="2">
   <textarea class="bbseditbox" tabindex="2" rows="10" cols="75"
name="Body"></textarea><BR>
 
  </td>

Using this link I see the textarea:

I see the text area too Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0, so this may be caused by extensions or be
a Win98-specific problem (doubtful).

Anyways, future versions of Firefox will be based on code of Mozilla 1.8, so
they won't have the bug anyway. marking wfm.
