| The beta is available now if you want to try it. I've been using it for a couple of months. I had a lot of trouble with firefox 2 crashing when I had a bunch of tabs open. I've only had firefox 3 crash on me once or twice. It seems a lot more stable even in beta form. It looks like they made a lot of the settings to speed up firefox 2 defaults for firefox 3. Other than that I'm not sure what the differences are...everything that I probably noticed at first has become normal to me by now. |

Tyler T, I'm not sure if that's a browser problem or not. I just tried it in Safari as well and it didn't work either. Regardless, I'm on FF3 beta right now and it doesn't work.
You can always copy and paste what you want to select and then highlight it and click the quote box if you first click on the "post reply" button in the lower left hand corner.
As far as FF3 goes, it's pretty decent. So far I like it, the one thing I absolutely loathe though about FF is how much v-memory it consumes, the other night I was watching it and it was taking up 500mb of physical ram and 1.3gb of v-memory. I have been using Caminio lately just because it's so much less of a resource hog.

I can get by just fine with the quote commands and quoting entire messages works fine, but the "quote selected" button is just so handy when you want to quote multiple posts and that's what's broken in FF.
