Just testing the new version of MT my cousin hooked me up with. I'm so happy! Thanks cous! You're the greatest. Everything seems to be working good, though for some reason Firefox squishes everything to one side in the manager screens, which is annoying, but not unlivable. Why is that?
Anyhoo, I checked it in IE, and things look just fine (wierd), so soon, comments will reopen on a regular basis as I get Sp@m blocks in place. Yay!
I really love some of the features on the new MT. Especially being able to see all the comments at once, instead of having to sift through them one at a time. How nice! Very cool! Also, in Firefox, my little tool bar is back so I don't have to do the HTML myself...for some reason in the old version, IE allowed the tool bar, but Firefox wouldn't. I'm not sure if I'm missing plug-ins or if it's just something to do with Firefox. Arxane, do you know?
Well, at anyrate, I'm really happy! Thanks so much Jeff! I know you're really busy, but you still take time to help a dumb cousin like me! :-)
Comments are open now

I don't think it's Firefox. By chance, have you turned off CSS or Javascript support? Usually when you get unexpected page display in a browser with which you haven't had trouble in the past, that's why.
As for upgrading Java, note that Java and Javascript are two totally different things - having little more than a name in common. This could be related to some Javascript wackiness (though I'm inclined to believe it's CSS), but it's almost certainly not Java related.

IE works just fine but I won't use it. *laughs* I mean, it's not bad on Firefox, just annoying, since everything is so small and off to one side. It looks wierd, that's all. Ha ha!
Thanks again for the help! I'm so happy! Those spammers were going nuts on here. It took me all day to clean up their crap.
Oh, I've been getting pings from them since I disallowed comments, but I stopped allowing those too, but the pings weren't as annoying as the comment spam.
