Nope I still can't use 3.63 to post in here. When I try I don't get any cursor in the reply field.

If you click into the text of the area - does the cursor appear?

[BeEnAr]

Nismoid - Na mate it doesn't show up and it doesn't type. Only way I got to post a new thread was to use the trick that Lum did by inserting centered text and typing in that box so at least there is a sort of work around in place

Still nothing on the IPB forums about a possible permanent fix??

[R31Nismoid]

Well it doesn't affect everyone

I don't have a "cursor", but soon as i click into the text area it appears so i don't see that as a big problem...

The issue some of you have is only for a small group of people so definately a compatability issue with FF & IPB (as im perfectly fine and on the latest builds)

Nothing has improved for me, I have another bug now as well, all the reply and quote buttons are no longer pictures, they are just text, a lot of the boxes and highlighting appears to be missing as well.

Really starting to drive me mad, what have the designers of IP Board said about this? Surely we can't be the only website that is having issues.

edit: Actually editing and quoting has magically started working again.

I don't get the cursor appearing randomly when I create a new thread however.

Rolls, I broke something with the images, should be all fixed now.

[Rolls]

You fixed the images but now when I press quote I don't have a cursor rofl.

[Rolls]

Editing a post is now broken once again.

[Rolls]

Also what the f**k is this flood control bullshit, this along with the post editing being disallowed are the most retarded features ever, no other website has them and if they do they have reasonable ranges. Eg you can't post within 5 seconds, not 30 and editing is only disabled in the trading forums.

christian, i also had this issue and i know its fixed but it looks like you broke some other images too full editor/addreply and quick reply. only noticed in the dark skin though. see pics. also i just realised that if you hit edit, there is no option for quick edit. straight to full edit

separate issues to the forum move mate. they've been in place for a while now. once donations are up and running again, you lose the flood control upon donating

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah the donations WILL remove the posting/restriction issues.

Currently (ill be brief, ive gone into it plenty of times in more details)... dodgy traders are at an all time low.

I've had i think now 5 complaints in the last 12 months. To me, that is a win regardless of how "annoying" the forums are.

We are restricted by IPB (the old version), and the upgrade to SAU 3.0 will bring with it a lot of enhancements we want to get done.

So rather than abuse and swear at us, when you know the reasons, a little bit of acceptance for the greater good?

If you knew how many hours a week Nick & I spent dealing with bad traders 18+ months ago... it would frighten you.

[PranK]

This issue should now be fixed

If its not fixed for you, make sure you clear caches before retrying.

[funkymonkey]

testicles... 1... 2... testing quick post?

edit: oooh nice n fast refresh. I like!

[mad082]

I found an interesting "quirk" at the top of the fourms there is a "fourm options" button, only works in 'normal' skin not 'dark' nothing major, just making a note cuz it took me a while to work out where I was going wrong
