I have the best extension for firefox ever created: http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=652

Can't click it? Download the extentension on that page and it creates any URL into a insant link, so when people don't link it... firefox will autolink it for you. Its extremely helpful.

Sometimes it highlights the link blue and underlines it, sometimes it doesn't... but if you double click the spot where it should be a link it takes you there anyways.

Note: In your 1st post, you didn't make a link for it..

Just a note to say that IE does save your password. When you go to a login page and IE has your username there, if you've previously told IE to save your password just select the box with your username in and hit Tab, it'll jump to the password box and IE will automatically fill in your password. Still not as easy as FireFox, but wanted to point it out.




If stupidity got us into this mess then why can't it get us out of it?

I don't need to hate people on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, nationality, or any of those other things. 30 seconds of conversation usually does the trick.

Make sure you can post
While this sounds silly, if you don't disable wysiwyg, you can't post using Firefox. Here is how you do that:
Go to My Profile | Preferences | Use WYSIWYG Message Editor and uncheck the box. Once you have done this, the submit button will work, but now you have lost your formatting...






Where is that? I'm using not the English Version of Firefox, all I have is Extras | Settings and wysiwyg is not there

I made it a bit clearer. I wasn't talking about the setting in FireFox, but rather the forum. I hope my changes in the original post made that more clear.

Just make sure you are logged in and the 'my profile' link will be near the top-left (depending on the page you are viewing).

One problem. On the part that says:
"Make all URL's clickable (thanks Geral_Corasjo) This extension will enable all text links to be clickable. I installed this, and it is fantastic."

There's no link. That extension sounds very useful. Any chance of a link to it?
