I talked too early, I can;t "submit" or "preview", as those buttons are missing, too...
So, on one of my machines (Win 7 x64, FF 6.3) I cannot see the "create a new thread" button of the CNET forums, and the frame (top row and bottom row with the cnet logos) is transparent. Why? I have switched off all add-ons, it works on all other machines.
weird.
I have now saved this link

and use it to post.
