I don't know the details but it is likely that those that do will have difficulty posting here so I'll start the thread. QUOTE SunKayeB (8:35 pm) : or reply!! SunKayeB (8:34 pm) : you cannot type in the message box! So can't actually post anything in Tech forum SunKayeB (8:33 pm) : the problem is that when you try to start a new message SunMia (2:27 pm) : oooh can u stick it in techy forum pls? Sunrachelpross (1:44 pm) : I chose not to update Firefox as you are having trouble. Satgina (11:21 pm) : yes - can't do replies properly SatKayeB (5:38 pm) : Is anyone else having problems posting since the newest version of Firefox ?

I would advise you to turn off WYSIWYG. Thats the only reason I can think of that it wouldn't work. Go to My Controls -> Board Settings. Then change the last option on the page to standard editor. Otherwise, switch to google chrome. google it for a download link. It's free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Can't post a new topic now but if I start one and then quick edit it it seems to work! Can also only quick reply. Haven't updated firefox since around the time others were having problems, but am only having problems now?!

I did yes, thank you for asking. I changed to standard editor and it has been fine since. No idea why it went funny when I hadn't updated yet though.
