Minor thing, but I winder, if you guys experienced same thing.
When I' writing reply, and I want to make part of the text BOLD, I highlight the text, then go right click>BBCode>Bold, the text highlights, but then there is a second, or two before I can click again on ANYTHING. It's like 1-2 SEC freeze.

Yes, I get exactly the same thing. THANKS. I thought, it was me.
I wonder why slow reaction?Quote from: Broni on June 08, 2008, 11:02:57 AM

I don't know, but I noticed -- my pc is very quiet -- that I could hear two disk accesses: when I highlight some text then I right click that selection & choose BBcode, I hear the first disk selection, then I choose e.g. bold or quote or WHATEVER, the tags such as [bold][/bold] get added, then there is the pause, during which I cannot type, and then I hear a second disk seek and at that same moment I get the cursor back and I can type again.

[update]

I uninstalled it and installed this very similar one called BBCodeextra 0.2.5.6

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/491

And I don't get the freezes
Let's see
Nice find. Works much better. Thanks.Your post made me slightly uneasy. That is a very long pause, time to do all kinds of things! Also the guy who posted the link hosted an image on a page with *censored* ads. Not a crime in itself, but still... I went to the extension writer's home page and it looks OK, but anyway BBCodeXtra 0.2.5.6 seems to have as many, if not more features...

Could the first one be malware or just badly coded?

Running an AVG scan just to be sure...




Probably bad code. I just ran HJT, and it's clean.
