Error while posting a reply

Just noticed a couple of things that may be bugs (well i'm pretty sure the first one is but the second may be the new script ). When adding a link from the button on the reply window it only ever shows the full link and not the title you have added for it. So i still have to copy and paste the code from the help section still

the second is that in Firefox the spell checker is now disabled by default until you manually activate it, when it was fine before. If this one isn't a bug is there any way you can switch it back to being on by default again please?

Also something else happened while i was writing a post. The last sentence suddenly changed colour from white to grey. I tried editing it a few times and managed to get the last sentence back to white but now i've come back to the thread its reverted back to grey.

The title field isn't the text of the link. To create a link, it's like using a word processor. Type the text first, highlight it with your mouse, and then click the link button. When the window opens, enter the URL into the URL field. The title field is for filling out the title attribute of the HTML tag, which is a tag that browsers and screen readers utilize for tooltips and people with disabilities.

Not sure why this is, and I'm also not sure if there's any way I can control this.

Looks like you copied and pasted the person's username from a quote box, which would cause the trailing text to be gray as you type it.

This new editor definitely has its quirks. There are other editors out there, so I'm still evaluating whether or not this is the one to go with. They all seem to have issues of some kind or another.

Surprise, surprise. I found a setting in the editor that controls this behavior. It'll be fixed in the next update.

when i posted a reply in the general star wars forum my page froze after i hit the post button after serveral times refreshing the page to get it to load, it was very slow and timed out numerous times i noticed it duplicated my single post by a number of 3, 4 of the same post.

The hosting service seems to be having problems at the moment. It's not the forum software.
