For lack of a better word (or lack of knowledge as to what it's called).....the place where you type your post.......who else absolutely hates it?  It is SOOOOOOO unresponsive.  Everytime I try and backspace or use periods to show pauses in though it lags horrendously.  I absolutely hate it.

You mean the new WYSIWYG editor? Are you using IE? It is really slow in IE, as I have exprienced. I use Firefox myself mostly, though, but I agree that we shouldn't have to let IE users suffer.

Yeah I am using IE Actually I have to........because I have a 17" laptop screen thats WUXGA 1920x1200 and you can't (atleast I can't figure out how to and I've tried 100x) scale the screen so that the images and the text scale to size I guess is how I would put it.

Like on Mozilla when I would use it ( I actually prefer it over IE ) it would just make the text bigger but it wouldnt change the size of the images accordingly to the text and it wuold look all garbled and horrid.  So I am forced to use IE....if anyone knows how to fix this in MOzilla please PM ME or post here PLEASE.....

OK dumb question here I guess seeing as how it seemed so simple, but HOW do I switch to the standard editor.  I don't see an option when I clik to post a new toipc or a new message it just takes me to the new editor.

Go to "prefs" then click the "Forums" tab "Use WYSIWYG EDITOR:" select No.

It's slow yes, the only problem I have is that the table function does not work.

The advanced editor shouldn't be that slow.

It's horrible. The new spellcheck disables my FF and Safari spellchecks, and those were far better. Gamespot don't seem to be able to create a decent editor anywhere on the site. The buttons never work and usually just create a mess with the html.
