Is anyone having a problem with firefox and posting?

FWIW, Safari let's me post, but the formatting looks "off."

Its a conspiracy.

I knew it!

I use FF and Chrome with no issues. I have no script and pop up blockers so the ads dont show up but there is no formating.

Using OSX safari. The quotes look strange today. I don't think there are any mods any more on this site, so good luck with it.

I'm able again...

Anyone pay attention to all those weird named newbies showing up at the bottom of the cooler?
Most likely bots and Nigerian/Russian/EU sites probably on some program to sniff out / register on sites. I saw ADMIN on earlier and noticed a lot of those weird names were disappearing.
I do work on a couple sites and have had to deal with the same troublesome issue.

We had to delete 30,000 bogus registrations....It sucked.

Recently this site opened up registration ....maybe had something to do with it.

I'm seeing the same on the other sites I moderate.  We automatically place all new accounts on moderation until they've posted X times, and that seems to cut back on the number of bogus accounts.  
 
When see their first post, it's usually totally gibberish.  Sorta like anything written by NHBB, but without all the caps and e x t e n d e d words....
