Another point of interest is that if i run the mouse over my own posts it does'nt underline...only as David says when the mouse is run over text(other peoples).

Same here with Firefox, I'm just happy to be using a preferred browser again, the forum being comfortably fast. No probs with MyIE and any drop in speed with the traffic is hardly noticeable.

I tried forum on IE for the first time and it crashed 3 times, once with the "send error report" window. While it has been crappy lately, it hasn't crashed. Mysterious.
I'm using Firefox 1.0.3 and I'm also having the underline problem. It's a real PITA. I thought it must have been the design of the site, but must be a little glitch with Firefox.

You are three versions behind and we no longer support that version. Please apply current patches then call again if the problem persists. If it does, we will advise that this is normal behaviour. This is a recorded message.

It's not a version error, not from what I know anyway. The latest version (1.0.6) has the same problem described. It's not really a problem, it's only a problem if you want it to be. It doesn't effect my browsing of this forum at all really, but others would probably disagree with me.
Also, Benny's right. This forum loads up a LOT quicker then the older one. Don't have to wait so long to see those topics you really wanna know about anymore :P
Personally, I like Firefox due to the fact that I.E. has wayyy too many security vulnerabilities, and of course, it has the tabbed browsing feature. I hear that the new Internet Explorer (version 7) will also feature tabbed browsing. Damn copycats.

I have switched back to Safari which works without problems. I just tried Firefox 1.0.6 and the text highlighting still happens. That is not a problem so much as the fact that the water-TT moves up and down the page as you scroll, leaving remnants of itself obscuring text on the left. Running your mouse over that text brings it back over the picture again but it is all pretty irritating. The improved Safar (v2.0 vuild 412.2.2)i is as fast as Firefox now and has all its other features.

David, a couple of questions then.
1) Should I be bothered about it? Editing the skin is not a really fun job, small changes can sometimes have ramifications elsewhere. This might be why there is a problem in the first place.
2) If I should worry about it, does anyone have any clues as to what I should be looking for?
3) Does anyone have a good code analyser they can run over a forum pages (as you see here) to get any clues as to why it happens?
3) Or do I just ignore it and hope the issue either doesn't bother people enough, gets fixed in FF, or just goes away somehow?

I think, like Vinh says, the text highlighting is not a big deal. The watermark problem, given no-one else has reported it, I presume to be Mac-specific in FF and we have an easy alternative in Safari, whereas switching from FF to IE is a loss of function in XP. So, I would see if there are complaints and if not then hope that some other change to the skin equally mysteriously fixes it

For Mac people, today I got v2.01 (build 412.5) of Safari and it enables the water Soarer at first pass rather than after clicking. Everything else was already working properly.
This is unrelated to FF's problem with dripping bits of the water feature up and down the page.
