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.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
