Can't Write New Posts After Upgrading To Firefox 3.6

[Lum]

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.

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

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

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

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

[Dohmar]

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

I've also got this issue too, when replying or starting a new thread. Had to switch to IE just to write this.

Will apply the patch this weekend.

Give it a whirl now.

I'm on FF 3.6 and still have the edit box issue.

[funkymonkey]

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 dont see any of these issues.

[Rolls]

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.

[Basti]

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

[R31Nismoid]

I use FF 3.6, various add-on's.

Not one issue to speak of... .

[Rolls]

You running windows nismoid?

[Rolls]

Tried disabling all my addons with no luck

[Cowboy1600]

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.

[Peter89]

i have FF 3.6 and cant post a damn thing on SAU. (using IE7 for this) other forums i visit in FF work fine.

edit: works fine now. FF updated to 3.62 and all it good.
