I tried removing cookies, but it did not work to solve the problem. I am having no problem this morning at the office. My problem was at home, where I use a Mac. Perhaps there is a Mac compatibility issue? On the Mac the space for typing a reply does not show up. The auction space (empty space) is extremely long, filling a couple or 3 screen lengths. Scrolling through the blank space to the end, the "submit reply" icon appears, as if the space for typing in a reply should be immediately before, but there is no place to type in the reply.
Anyway, no problem this morning on my office PC. I'll try the Mac again this evening. .... I may become a nighttime lurker and a daytime poster ... or, I'll just need to work even later at the office?
