Highlighting text
ok, I used to be able to highlight questions, copy and paste into a search engine, or a notepad document. But now it highlights the rest of the whole page. Can this be altered by any chance, or is there a specific reason it does this?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.1. You are probably using Internet Explorer which, unfortunatelly, has problems with web sites written in the way the AnswerBank is written. It simply doesn't support CSS corectly :-)
2. You can use FireFox, which is a kind of Mozilla browser and which supports highilighting text in CSS web sites normaly, I mean in a way user expects it. You will find FireFox here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
As Internet Explorer happens to be the most commonly used browser, it would be more useful if Answerbank was designed to enable efficient selection and copying in Internet Explorer, rather than blaming Internet Explorer for not following the cascading style sheet rules.
Most people don't want to change their web browser just because a particular website doesn't work with Internet Explorer.
