The editor is ok for short posts. However as the site is www.genesreunited.co.uk they may care to use UK spelling rather than US.

eg all these give a spelling warning

colour harbour travelling (one l in US English) favourite

My suggestion is that the developers replace the current text editor. It's really quite primitive by today's standards.

It works as long as you don't want to make any changes to what you've written. The cursor keys don't allow moving through the typed text. I find I have to highlight a word with the mouse and then go left or right with the cursor key to insert anything. I'm never happy with my first effort and invariably make changes before sending any messages. Even typing this suggestion presented the same problem so I resorted to pasting it in from Notepad.
