Title: Spoilers

Don't know if this is the right sub-board for this post, but if not just move it to the right one.  ;) 

I just noticed this morning that I no longer have to hit CTRL when wanting to view what's in the SPOILER boxes.  I don't know if this is because something is different on the Forums or if it's because I've just upgraded to Internet Explorer 7.  I really think it's because I now have IE 7, but, just so everyone is aware, if you DON'T want to see what's in a spoiler box, don't run the cursor arrow over the white spaces or the text will automatically appear (if you have upgraded to IE7).  ;)

Well, it's certainly about time that IE finally catches up to every other browser when it comes to how the spoiler box's code is supposed to work.  ::)

Thanks for the info, BuzzH.  :)

Got another question, w/the 'advance', and I use that term LOOSELY 'cause I hate IE7 already, of IE7, I can't seem to cut/paste or copy/paste anymore because I no longer have drop-down menu's.  How do I fix that problem here on the Forums?  Sometimes I like to combine posts, to save bandwidth, and I can't do that anymore since I can't find the Edit drop-down menu.  Anyone know how to locate it on the new browser?

I can't encourage you enough to give FireFox/Mozilla a try.  I was an IE user for years and years and finally have been rescued by a far superior browser.

I haven't downloaded IE7, but, if I recall correctly from talking some other poor soul through it on the telephone, holding the ALT key displays the traditional File, Edit, etc. menus. I'm pretty sure that's correct, but I could be remembering wrong.

you were right, the alt key brings up the drop-downs, thanks!
