Any idea why I can't post from FireFox? I can view, search, etc, but when I go to create or reply to a post, I can edit the subject field but not the body of the post. Works like a charm in IE, but doesn't work on FireFox on any machine I have tried it on.

That is just the nature of this forums software. Unfortunately it was not designed to play well with some of the other browsers. I keep IE on hand just for here, it is just simpler.

The only workaround to get FF to work is to hit 'preview' on the empty box and then return to edit mode. That enables the text box.
Or you can download the IE tab addon which allows you to right click on the link you want to open and select 'open in IE tab' from the dropdown menu. The IE tab is the preferred method as it allows all the editing goodies and keeps the formatting intact.
