    I can't create any submission due to a white textbox blocking the textbook for the title (see attached). This only recently occurs to me as I've submitted sth within the past 4 hrs. I'm trying to create a new wiki but this is preventing me from doing so.

    I see it. What version of IE are you using? Can you try compatibility mode?

    Click on that broken page directly to the right of the address bar and that should fix it. Bottom line, IE 8/9 always seems to do something non-standard even though they are getting better....don't use it unless you have to. Firefox, Chrome or Opera are ALL better choices and do a more consistent job rendering standard javascript and css.

    I tried IE 8.0.7600.16385, Firefox 3.6.13 and the latest Chrome without issue.

    Ah, yep. I saw the same thing you screen shotted on my browser when I clicked on the compatibility button that was mentioned. Webmasters have the ability to force compatibility mode in the browser by a html switch in the code so perhaps a different site turned it on and it stayed on when you popped over to the Citadel.

    If it happens again, click that button and you should be solid.
