    How about using a nice cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. It would be nice to be able to easily create links, highlight code etc. when posting a comment with FireFox or Mozilla. http://www.freetextbox.com/Default.aspx looks nice.

          How about using a [textarea] for all browsers + an "open clickety-editor" button for IE? Everytime I try to submit an article (okay, that was not too often yet) the page tells me that I have to use Netscape or IE. Mozilla is nearly a Netscape, but Bob is too stupid to understand it, so I have to re-logon with IE and try again. Then I have to wait for the WYSIWYG editor to load, until I can click the "HTML" button and paste the article into the text field. I cannot remember that I had ever needed the WYSIWYG editor, but that thing is the only reason why I still have IE installed. Give me a simple text field for my Mozilla browser and I'll be really happy.

            On reflection, WYSIWYG is overkill, all I really want is the simple functionality that IE users have - a textarea with some javascript buttons to do links etc. I see the smiley toolbar, why can't I see the other toolbar?

              Try my Article Writer Helper. There may be some IE only functionality but most of it should work since its mainly javascript.

                That looks nice, but I was really just talking about the editor for adding comments in the forums. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it to work for non IE browsers.
