text-based users blocked from posting due to bug w/ "Destination Forum Confirmation"


There are a couple problems with how linuxquestions.org works with w3m.

* When trying to post, there is a "Destination Forum Confirmation" screen. When "clicking" the continue button in w3m, the screen just loops back to itself. I actually had to launch a GUI browser just to post this message.

* Quote text is indistinguishable from reply text. There is no indentation, color, bold, or horizontal line to set the quote apart from the reply, which makes reading difficult.


[EDIT] It looks like the forum confirmation screen may be a one-time problem.. although new users wouldn't know that their first post has to be with a GUI browser.

Thanks for the feedback. You're correct that the "Destination Forum Confirmation" is only an issue for the first post a member makes. That said, we'll look into why it's not working in text-based browsers.
