help anyone? (again)

It seems there is a new site with the old-style content submission form, and an old (current?) site with the new content submission form. Or I am losing the last of my marbles? Anyway, I am trying to enter some content into the new form on the current site for the first time, and I can't click into the content editor in any manner whatsoever...is there a trick to this? Any advice gratefully received, and what on earth is all that stuff about code next to the box. Can it be ignored? I really hope so.

Many, many thanks for any advice!

Later on

OK that seems to have got sorted out, if you save draft and then go back it seems to work, so NOW it wont let me submit...it keeps saying check approximate word count...I put in the number of words less the title....any tips???

Hi. There have been lots of forum questions about this so have a look. I can't find the write one to send you to! For me I could only right click in the very top left corner at the exact edge. Then I can paste my document in. Try that. The very edge! Others had good ideas too, but this works for me.

Take care.

"right one". Sorry. My brain is a bit fried from doing too much writer pool work!

Thanks chaps. The submission form seems to flicker on and off in terms of functionality, and I feel similar, more off than on. I am waiting for the rejections to start pouring in, what with all my technical problems on top of everything else. Woe woe and thrice woe. But thanks! Emoticons are all I have left

So have you e-mailed in about this issue? Doesn't seem fair that your form is being to temperamental! Wish I could help ya out better than that! Maybe you won't get the rejections you're expecting! good luck!

Update: thanks so much for comradely help! I was suffering from a bad bout of technophobia, key-word fatigue and post traumatic rejection stress syndrome. On the mend now! thanks again.

The keyword part of the form is my least favorite. lol I hate that text box with a passion.
