Forums >Technical Support>Unable to post or click on the editor's toolbar buttons?
Hi guys,
I'm starting a new thread to track this problem. Some of you reported that you can't post or get the emoticons to work. I have reproduced this problem, but under a circumstance that I don't understand. In order for me to confirm this, can you try to launch a new instance of Firefox and go straight to RA and try creating a post? No need to click the Post button if you're only testing.
Here's the circumstance that reproduced the problem for me. If I go to Facebook first, then head over to RA in the same browser, then this problem occurs. Is this the same for you?

Not at it at all.

No ... tried that and it worked OK. Maybe the steps I followed were not the same as the ones you followed?

Huh! Now I can get the emoticons to work. I am using Safari.
I was on facebook earlier but closed it and then got on safari and am now having no problems
Um, delete above. I just tried to post on my regular thread (Master's/Boomers) and could not get one to show up.
Very weird.
Can't post in Firefox; I typed this using Internet Explorer 7.
EDTA: This is a new problem, btw. I was always able to use Firefox until now.

The message editor functions are all locked / inactive / no-workee. As others report, this is new behavior for me in FireFox as well, it worked until recently.
If I click on the "<> HTML", the editor then lets me type.
I do notice that when it is not active that FireFox is indicating that the page is still loading -- the little "activity spinner" in the upper right of Firefox is spinning.
I am now wondering if there's something in the last round of patches from MS that is an influence in this problem.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Are you guys using any firefox add-ons?
Yeah, I have AdBlock Plus and NoScript running. I don't have them configured to block anything from RA.
AdBlock Plus and Flashblock.
I've tried disabling it completely and still see the same behavior / problem with posting on RA with or without AdBlock.
I submitted a report to the editor's vendor. Hopefully they can shed some light on the problem.
I tried to reproduce the problem with FF 3.0.5 and it works fine. No one here has mentioned any other version of FF so maybe the problem is specific to 3.0.11?
I'll keep you posted on what the vendor says.
Eric,
Just to provide you with some info ..... 3.0.11 was released recently so I checked when I actually installed. It installed on June 11. I started having these issues over the past weekend, so everything was working fine on version 3.0.11 for over a week before this started happening.
Thanks!
