I could not find any noticable issues with firebug but I guess there is a lot to learn with this but I did find what is causing it however not how to resolve it.
It is the custom permalink structure:
/%postname%
If I turn this to standard then the form works.
However with this custom activated, it does not work.
Is there a reason why this would happen and is there any workaround?
Thanks for the help.
