Posting with new computer

[DaveO]

When I try to post to the forum with my new Win 7 computer I get a black background and black letters as I post. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I a able to post this using my fairly new laptop computer.
Also, are images limited to 600 x 600 or can I copy and paste the URL from Flickr with a larger image?

I was having problems too when I got a new laptop with Win 8 and Internet Explorer 10. If you have IE10, you can download a different browser or do what I do with IE10:
-Click on 'Tools' (gear in top right corner),
-Click on 'F12 Developer Tools',
-Click on 'Browser Mode IE:10 and change it to 'Internet Explorer 8'
-then close the developer window at the bottom.

Not a unique problem, and the suspicion generally falls on your choice of internet browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer, despite its popularity, is often a problem for RFF's software. So you might try a different browser; Chrome, FireFox, and Safari are usually ok.

Thanks for the instruction. It didn't work the first time, but it did the second.

I've got a cat that looks a lot like your avatar.

Your cat likes climbing telephone poles eh? Thats funny! You know, working for the telephone company for 38 1/2 years, I've only met one cat up a pole. I've met lots of birds, bugs and the occasional squirrel, but only one cat up there.

On the lower left corner there's Vb code. That has a bunch of options that can change it to B&W

Never had a problem with Firefox or Chrome, either with XP or Android...

On the lower left corner of what? I'm a photographer, analog, one, each, not a computer whiz. On IE I get black type on a black background unless I highlight it but it won't fly. The other thingamabob won't let me change IE10. I think I'll just go back to my Bilora Bella 66. That's cranky enough for me.
