Anyone else having problems editing posts?

[shaneturner12]

Hi Trainzers,

I thought I'd better ask first before trying to work out what's causing it.

For some reason, I'm unable to edit my own posts - where the entry box should appear with the existing text simply does not appear. In addition to this, replying does the same unless I change threads then return to the thread I am on.

I haven't been able to test it on other forums yet though.

I'm currently using Google Chrome (latest version) on Windows 7, but IE 11 is also refusing to let me edit posts, this time with an error message.



Anyone else had this happen?

My keyboard just went funky on me when replying to a thread in the KS section. Unable to copy and paste text and skipping letters. Let's hope it's not been hacked again...

 

[shaneturner12]

I'm hoping not as well, as it seems to be a bit weird that it started happening yesterday and seems to have got worse today.

Thank you for your response though Vern.

I just posted and a minute later edited my post without any problems.

Might be an issue with my browser in that case (and possibly Vern's system as well). What browser are you using?

[oknotsen]

What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer 10

That's worth knowing - I'm guessing there's a bug in IE11 and possibly Google Chrome in that case.

Just posted and inserted a test edit. No problems.


Edit: Using Google Chrome

That's interesting. I will see if I can work out what's going on with mine, in case it's account related.

I'm using IE also and the keystroking is funky, also cannot post an active link!

 

[shaneturner12]

Interesting. Are you also using IE 11?

Just testing here with Firefox.


Edit:

Working OK here.

Thankyou Malc.

An update here - I can reply to a post if I use Advanced Mode, but still cannot edit posts properly.

Indeed I am! I'm cursing at the Trainz Forums site, I've been having troubles with it for a year or so.........Even now, the 'Reply' button has a circle going roudy-round............this is strange new activity (t me)!

 

[shaneturner12]

Just out of interest, do you get the same problem with other VBulletin based forums?

I did notice that whilst typing a message sending a PM some of the letters just disappear and I have to go back where I typed and insert again.

I'm having trouble with the Enter button .It does'nt work on the trainz forum

 

[shaneturner12]

Leksie - that's a simple issue to fix. Either turn on compatibility mode in your browser, or change your editor format via Forum Actions > Editor Settings.

Having a difficult time even getting a post to upload...............and yes, I have disappearing letters!

I had this trouble a while back with funky keys and the rest, I first thought it was a problem with my Microsoft 2000 keyboard, that wasn't the problem.
The only way I got rid of it was to delete all the junk I've accumulated like aggressive toolbars, and delete things like java and adobe and all other programmes that were acting up. Now my posts are fine again.
PS I got rid of google chrome as well this is the only one I haven't reloaded back on to my computer yet, but that's not to say that that one is the culprit, it is more likely to be an add-on in Adobe if anything.
