There is a "website" forum for you to post these issues. Please post there so JB can be sure to see it. Please be as specific as possible with an explanation of the problem, the device and browser you are using when the problem occurs.

My only suggestion would be to try ditching IE since it seems to be the most common browser associated with problems on this site.

What browser are you guys all using, and what version? IE8? IE10? Chrome? Firefox? Safari? etc...

 

If using win 7 you should be running IE10, try upgrading and seeing if that fixes it. I run Firefox and no issues. I'll have to try IE8 on my XP machine

 

I run win 7 and chrome with no issues.

 

I also see this issue when running IE8 on XP.

IE8 is the last release that is (and will be) available for use on XP. Is is very outdated and should really not be used, for anything, at all, ever. Really. Not kidding.

It does seem to be an issue with IE8 on XP. I'm guessing that there are people who can only use that particular combination of software, at work for instance. I'm not sure how easy this would be to fix. I would highly recommend using anything other than IE though. That really goes for IE10 also by the way. JMO.

 

Just got this issue in Chrome.


Could only do the quick reply. When I try to do a reply, or start a new thread the message box with the editor options just never showed up. Cleared the cache and it started worrking again.

 

For everyone having this problem, while you are at the window in which the editor is supposed to load and it doesn't, hit CTRL + F5. This should force a re-load of the page and overwrite any old files in the cache, which may be causing the problem.

If everyone can try this on the browser you have had problems with and report back if this resolved the issue or not that would be much appreciated.

 

I can already report that this does not work on IE8 on Win XP. It helped a bit, the editor toolbar now loads, but the text entry window will not load and I get a yellow ! triangle with either "Done" or "Done, but with errors" etc in the lower left corner of the page.

This is the case for add new topic or add reply - exactly the same problem

Did ctrl + F5 several times, also went into options and cleared everything - including saved data - then had to re-log in, problem still persisting.

 

Good to know, thanks!

 

I'm going to guess anyone running IE8 is just SOL. I don't see this getting fixed for non-supported browsers.


Time to change browsers or upgrade. And for those on work computers that can't, I guess you'll actually have to get some work done during the day instead of creating new topics on your favorite forum LOL.
