The WYSIWYG editor is broken in Google Chrome. I'm on OS X, using Chrome version 6.0.458.1. All browser extensions have been disabled.
It seems to be working occasionally in the DIY forum, but failing most of the time.
 
There are two exceptions in the JavaScript Console in Chrome when I load the "New Thread" page, try to compose a PM or open a thread with a reply box:
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ]" in /lib/ckeditor/ckeditor.js?v=4:127
"Uncaught ReferenceError: CKEDITOR is not defined" in /mini/1279000741/common.js:31
 
It's likely the second exception is being caused by the first.
The first exception looks like it's where the ckeditor object is defined; there's an empty array on the referenced line (127) but I don't see how that is a syntax error, or where any syntax error is... guess thats up to the Huddler devs.
Code (extra spaces added by me):

i.smiley_path=HUDDLER_CONSTANTS.JS_VARS.FCK_SMILIE_PATH; i.smiley_descriptions=[]; i.startupFocus=false; i.toolbar=[['Source','Format','FontSize','TextColor'], ['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike'], ['NumberedList','BulletedList','Link','Unlink'], ['Undo','Redo'], ['HuddlerImage','HuddlerVideo','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','HuddlerQuote','HuddlerSpoiler'], ['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'], ['HuddlerSpell']];})();

Well... seems to work fine in the same Chrome dev build on Windows 7. Content of ckeditor.js is the same.
But still not working consistently on OS X 10.6.3, the editor sometimes comes up still, but not often.

I have a strange problem in Firefox 3.6.6 - can't see the blinking cursor or make line breaks.

Yeah its broken for me too in firefox.  Even when in IE and it is working fine it is still horrible.  What is wrong with simple text?  All this script just to apply fonts just makes me angry and slows down your server.
 
Oh, thanks for making the right click menu disappear.  I didnt like easy cut and paste anyway.  Nor the spell check.  Thanks for taking that away also.

The editor should be working OK in Firefox.  Make sure you aren't blocking anything from yahooapis.com.  Noscript and Adblock can end up blocking that and then the editor won't work.

I already tried with all extensions turned off (adblock included) and still the same. The strange thing is that it's been working just fine in Chrome until Tuesday, when there were updates made to the site. Stranger still is that it seems Chrome in Windows works fine.
 
And I agree that a plain text input for replying would be really nice, it even seems like there is when the JS editor doesn't load, but you type there, press submit and nothing happens. It would be great if this worked and just used regular POST requests like everything else if JS is not available and not required it be encapsulated in an Ajax request. It really bugs me that the accessibility of this site has just been ignored, it's pretty much discriminatory.

testing testing
 
my posts/replies have not been appearing.  I am on OSX using Chrome

 

[ShyFroggy]

hmmm it just worked when I previewed it prior to posting it.  What is the issue?

 

[elliot42]

I'll try again when I get home tonight, see if it's still not working for me.
 

 

[ShyFroggy]

posting seems to be fine for me now, and in fact some of my posts that didn't, well, post, have magically appeared.

 

[svyr]

Pasting or entering new lines on opera (i.e. pressing enter or ctrl-v) loses focus on the input text field and I have to reclick on it. Really annoying...

 

[elliot42]

Testing, testing. Well, posting here seems to be working in Chrome, and I can see the reply box in PMs which wasn't working before. I wonder what happened?

 

[elliot42]

Oh.. on again, off again. This morning it's decided to not work again in Chrome...

Same prob in Chrome 5.0.375.99 on Win 7. There's a Reply box but no Reply menu (code, font size, bold/italic/underline etc.) and when I try to reply (also from the last post) the page just goes up and does nothing.
 
First time this happens to me.

 

[NapalmK]

Yep it's happened to me too. I'm using Chrome and Firefox with Windows 7. It hasn't happened in a while but when it did the reply/submit button wouldn't work (clicked it and nothing happened) and I ended up having to copy what I had written in word and restart my browser a couple of times before I could post. No idea what's going on.
 
edit: Still having the same problem. That and clicking the more button for feeds on the profile page just sends me to the top of the page.
