I've just tried with ff, IE and chrome with no problems.
While I'm here, anyone know why chrome is rubbish at downloading pdf? I'm doing a lit search and having a bugger of a time.
Chrome's glitchy with cut n past here, too.

Yup, up to date.
The problem: If I cut an paste a sentence, right click and select paste the cursor moves one space to the left of where I place it (over writing whatever character was occupying that space in the line).
It would leave something like this ABE: this original text I wrote to show the problem did not show up.
If I attempt to pasts at the start of a line of a post the whole line is selected (rather than just the character).
I've learnt to work around it (it's not a big issue) but I just thought I would ask.
I think the pdf issue is something to do with active x (as I get a prompt when I attempt to do the download a pdf in IE- which I allow).
I suspect I have not found the 'allow active x' button in chrome; any ideas?
ABE: I see that part of my message just did not show up!!
'It would leave something like this' should have been followed by:
/qs ABE: again the text did not show up
ABE: Now I'm really confused! What I want to show you won't show up on screen!
I'll try it this way:
In a quote box the first closing bracket is often over written (but either chrome or the site won't let me what this looks like.
I call alien influence.

Thanks Percy, I thought I was going bonkers!
Here is a link that works fine in ff but not (for me, at least) in chrome.
Primary Function of REM Sleep
ABE: hmm...you need to cut n paste the link I'm afraid and add (preliminary_draft).pdf
For some reason the whole link did not show up.

Thanks for trying, Percy.
I'm on Vista premium with all the updates. I think it's something to do with active x controls but I can't find any options in chrome.
Hay ho.
