X3M Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Wow, couldn't at my parents place last week. 3 days ago, quoting failed. And now here at home posting at all failed. So it ain't there crappy computer, nor my well maintained computer. After long searching I found it.I had to change the board theme from Infinite dark to IP.Board, to be able to post again. Man, this looks weird. So, what is the problem? Why is the Infinite dark theme having so much problems lately? Edit:Well, I could not edit as well. The option showed me another empty field instead of a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X3M Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Could the quoting problem also be relating to this posting problem? And what about linking to video's? Because that seemed to be working at random as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I use Infinite Dark and haven't observed any of the problems you refer to. So the first logical question here is, what browser(s) are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Firefox. But that should not be the issue. Since it happens in windows explorer as well. My parent have both browsers and on different computers. My friend has an I-Pad. They all share the same problems regarding the dark skin.

X3M Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 My eye's where starting to hurt :DBut now we know it was the site, not the "all those computers around the world" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I use Infinite Dark and haven't observed any of the problems you refer to.Turns out that's because I have JavaScript disabled most of the time. When it's active, the stupid "your post is empty" messages do appear in the Infinite Dark skin.That's most ironic, come to think of it:Javascript Disabled Detected You currently have javascript disabled. Several functions may not work. Please re-enable javascript to access full functionality.Several functions, like forum software screwing your posts, may not work properly :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah, it was a javascript bug that came up after I upgraded to 3.4.1. Should be working now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X3M Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I tried to use BBCode to draw a line. But this time it completely deleted my message. :| Undo didn't work either, :(. Luckily I could cancel the edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 A lot of stuff still doesn't seem to work, once I switch off the rich text editor in favour of BBCode mode. It doesn't even give me quote tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yeah, a lot of problems lately.I can't get 2 video's working in 1 post. Maybe just 1 with a bit of luck. But don't worry, I am sure they are on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 And quotes look weird in the rich text view. They're a bit indented, but that's all; doesn't even show who you're quoting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was just doing a quick fix earlier but there are now updated skin files that I've uploaded. Let me know if you're still getting the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was just doing a quick fix earlier but there are now updated skin files that I've uploaded. Let me know if you're still getting the issue.No quote tags to see, even though I can quote.But now that I take a good look at it in the IP.Board skin. I noticed that here you have a light pink box around the message that you are quoting. Could it be that in the Infinite Dark skin something happens like that as well? But it isn't shown because it has all the same colours as the rest of the post? How to put java script off and on again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 How to put java script off and on again?That depends entirely on your browser. In Opera it's as easy as pressing F12 and choosing it from the quick options menu that appears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Very well. Firefox:Extra, then, Add-onsDeactivate each javascript that is activated.Restart browser. Done, lets see what kind of errors I get. Edit:It doesn't help at all. So I put them back on.It seems that 6.0.23, 6.0.24 and 6.0.26 are running on my system.Could it be that any of them causes the failures?

Gobalopper Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Java and Javascript are two different things so no that won't make a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 IIRC Firefox has an option to disable JavaScript in the settings, rather similar to Opera. There's also a Firefox plug-in that allows to selectively disable JavaScript for certain websites - I think it's called NoScript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 A new posting problem seems to have occured.This time it is because there where several updates.Firefox, flash, another thing etc. Anyway, the auto correction like how it goes in word seems to be disabled. I always took the time to correct my words as much as possible because I like to be a perfectionist. And I want others to be able to understand what I am saying (actually typing). My english is only 90%, so it bothers me. How to get it back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check if it is enabled in your browser, and if it is specifically enabled for the text field of the forums' "Compose Message" window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Let's see, what my updates do.Got myself 1.19.3 now. It was 1.19.1.Ah, it seems the version number did not change after updating, but the program works again. I simply needed to go to getting add-ons. And re-receive the new version of the English British dictionary.I can't help but to think that I made a silly mistake here, somewhere.However, if firebox gets updates, shouldn't each add-on be checked automatically? Anyway, fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
