Phil, first make sure you're logged on to the forum.
If you are, you User Name should appear on the right half of the page header.
Next, lets check your
Edit Options
At the bottom of the Edit Options page you'll find -
If you're posting the occasional picture and/or attachment, you'll want/need to choose either Standard Editor or Enhanced Interface. I suggest you try the Enhanced Interface first as it is WYSIWYG (What you see, is what you get), while the Standard Editor shows you some of the underlying code (great if you're a computer geek, otherwise not so great).
Any of the three possible editor interfaces is still pretty primative - no tab stops or paragraph indents, but as an alternative to strings of dashes you might try pressing the enter key twice.
The first press forces the start of a new line.
The second press puts a blank line between paragraphs.
Given the situation with the pay by the hour copy center, it's probably not worth trying to rectify the photobucket situation other than you might ask Al Glidewell if Firefox, Flash and Java have all been updated to the latest versions. If any is not and he later updates it/them, you might give photobucket another try.
As a final note. If you start writing in the Quick Replay box at the bottom of the page and decide part way through that you wish you had all of the controls - like when you use the Quote button or start a new thread - just click the Go Advanced button. What you've already written will be carried along to the new page which includes the missing controls.
Hope this helps.
