Ok this is weird. I've just upgraded from FF 3.5.7 to 3.6 and now when I go to make a new post on this forum, the main text box is uneditable. You can select any text that might be in there, but can't delete or change it, nor type new text.

To get this text here I've clicked "Insert special item" -> Centered text, and filled in the field.

I can still edit the post normally, but only using quick edit, so the centred text should be edited back to normal by the time you read this.

Haven't tried replying yet, but I suspect the same will apply, will only be able to use quick reply.

Its actually a bug with IPS 2.3.6 - All users of Firefox 3.6 are going to experience this issue (as you can see, I cannot type text underneath what has been quoted as the cursor is not letting me place it where I want. There is a patch here.

http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/3...or-ipboard-236/

Could we please get that patch loaded into the server? Others will have this issue as they upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6.....

Many thanks

Well it's nothing we can help you with mate.

You should report the issue via Firefox's reporting/issues log.

I'm using 3.6 daily... and have done so for a while... I still do not have this issue funnily enough.

Either way - we are migrating servers early next week.

I can't see any patching/changes in the next fortnight unfortunately - cant upgrade in the middle of a migration :(

its a strange issue. i downgraded to 3.5 and it works fine. Any chance of upgrading to ipboard 3 once the migration is complete (or convert the data and install 3 as part of that migration) - its very frustrating - are you using the basic editor

As far as the link is concerned, all that needs to be done is to replace a js file within the heirachy - its basically a re-coded subroutine for the editor to work correctly with 3.6's js implementation - should just be able to drop it in and have it work

FF 3.6 and patch hasn't fixed quick replies or full replies from what I've experienced.

Quick edit works fine though.

Issue has to do with Firefox's change in JS engine. Will get onto it if no patch is issued by IPB in the next week or so.

I'm using 3.6 and I also suffer from all of these issues. Have to use IE to browse the site as it is just completely non functional in 3.6

Hope the patches are run soon otherwise the list of people experiencing these issues is going to grow and grow. Took me over a week to bother to even look for this thread, so I imagine that there are quite a few other users experiencing this that just haven't posted here yet.

All the guys experiencing issues with FF 3.6, can you guys turn off all your addons and try using the forum? Just wanna make sure its not an incompatibility with one of the addons as I seem to be having the same issues when I have my addons enabled, but not when I turn em off. I haven't narrowed down which one though.

hmm. i've just updated FF to 3.6. still getting all the usual stuff with server timing out and stuff, but it seems to take forever to submit a post now. you can do it, but the tab just loads forever. the post can be seen as being submitted if you "view new posts" in a new tab though

I have FF 3.6 and have the same issues.

Have disabled all addons to no avail. And am having issues on two different computers on two different connections.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
