for some reason as of the other day i get no editor in the posting boxes. if i quote soemthing i get the quote surrouned by a smattereing of html.

this makes thread creation an impossibility using firefox. so please what ever is up please fix it asap.

note, its only in firefox, opera works fine so what the problem is i dont know.

 

[mark2410]

never mind it was java being crap.

 

[mark2410]

bump. well while last time it cured itself this time its not.

frankly its driving me nuts too. at present i get no text editer options, nothing shows other than a big white, empty reply box. if anyone can help please do.

oh and tried tried clearing cache, updating java, clearing cookies but notehing at all is working

it hapens in firefox, palemoon and waterfox. other browsers work but then they have issues "directly accessing the clipboard" so just using another browser isnt at present a very suitable option.

Hi @mark2410 - What version of Firefox are you using?

 

[mark2410]

40. something, its fully upto date.  
 
also noticed chrome is doing the same.

In my Mac, I'm seeing Firefox work fins on 41.0.1 and what was I believe 40.0.2 before upgrading, and in Chrome, I'm using 45.0.2454.101 (64-bit), and I'm getting both editors.
 
If you can provide me with screenshots, your OS version, and the browser versions, I can file a ticket for this.

 

[mark2410]

well whatever it is its now spread to opera too.

Okay. It sounds local, as it's hitting multiple browsers like that, and I'm not able to replicate, but I'll get a ticket filed so that the team can investigate.

Hi Mark,
Head-Fi/Huddler uses CKEditor, which is a javascript based wysiwyg html editor.
 
Is there a chance something (like an antivirus) has turned off JS completely in your browser/browsers?

and IE too.


yeah I'm sure its some javascript related issue but I cant find anyway to rectify it

 

[joe]

@mark2410 - Outside of a browser update, have you made any other updates to the OS recently?

 

[mark2410]

no. the problem started yesterday in warterfox / firefox but was working in opera. now its working in nothing even in Maxthon which i have no extensions installed so its got to be a system wide javascript problem

 

[Ancient.Dream]

• What AV are you using? perhaps it has a dedicated setting for system wide JS toggle.
• Did you try manually checking if JS is disabled in one of the affected browsers? It could help understand the problem. Here's how to do it in Firefox:

windows defender

yep, toggled off, on off on, no change

hmm the problem seems to be restricted to only headfi. other sites i can use fine.
