Is this box ever going to get fixed? I can't start a new thread now on my laptop, and I think it's because I tried to preview a post, the preview didn't load and I got a white page, and then I just tried to re-do the whole thread, and now I get a white screen instead of the "Post New Thread" screen.
Another problem is that every time I add a < 3 (without the space) and make a
and then go to edit a post that contains the
, it will delete everything past the
. In some cases, that's been most of my post! GRR. Let's hope I don't feel the need to edit this one. If I put in a double-post about how much I hate this non-functional text box, you'll know why.
Then there's the issue of not getting a blinky line for where I'm typing. Whenever this happens (often in Firefox for me whenever it opens a new page for replies instead of using the Quick Reply box), it inserts text at the start of my post, which is not good if I'm quoting anything. And, of course, that makes me unable to move where I'm typing in case I want to add more to a prior paragraph or something. That's annoying.
Do us a favor, nuke this from orbit, kill it with fire, and kill whatever's left with more fire. The old text box wasn't broken, actually worked, and didn't need fixing.
