Help!

When I'm using firefox, this site wont let me post anything (the post a reply box is filled in in grey), yet when I'm using IE (which I dont like using) I can post fine

How can I fix it so I can use firefox and post on this website?

I use windows vista

Thank you

    Check your settings in the User CP for this site, in the green toolbar.

    Also delete all your cookies and temporary files and try again, use the excellent and free: CCleaner to clear out all the junk.

    When I reply to a post in FireFox its always a greyed out box and it doesn't look right but I type away in it and I can post as per Internet Explorer.

    I've been using Firefox for years, no problem here with posting.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    My quick reply box is grey too, but the function works fine. vBulletin works slightly differently between IE and Firefox, I guess it's just one of those things.

    I see what is meant. Yeah in Firefox the box is light grey, however you can see what you are typing and there is no problem whatsoever.
