Search Field-in-a-Field Mess

Question

Search Field-in-a-Field Mess

Why does the discussion forum search field have that ugly, clumsy, annoying field-in-field thing going on? I'm running Safari 4.0.3.

And while we're at it, why can't I attach a screen shot of the problem to this message, rather than babbling barely-descriptive language that's nearly as annoying as what I'm describing? 😉

Thanks,
Bryan

An old and well known glitch, I had hoped it would be fixed in 10.6, but no such luck.

Using it on an iPhone is particularly fun. You can only see the top edge of the text.

Screenshots can be attached but they have to be hosted somewhere:

Bryan ~ If you subscribe to MobileMe, you can upload your image to your Public folder here:

http://me.com/idisk

...and then use this format in your forum post:

<IMG SRC=" http://idisk.me.com/membername/Public/MyFolder/MyImage.jpg"/>

But for large images such as screen shots, it's better to post a clickable thumbnail by going here:

http://www.imageno.com

...Upload your screenshot and from the resulting page, copy & paste the *"HTML code for webpages"* into your post. Here's an example — clicking on the thumbnail will open a new window containing a larger version:

By the way, with any method, switch from Compose mode to Preview mode to check that the image looks and works okay before posting.
