Forum Problems Solved?

I thought it could be my Virus Protection PCMatic but I have it set to White List TSPTalk, so it should not effect performance?????? WACKO!!ape3.gif
 
I'm back to fireFox and cancelled the White List for PCMatic and nothing changed, still can't Edit or Reply With Quote.

Imo, there are multiple problems. Multiple-problem situations can be extremely difficult to troubleshoot ... and troubleshooting them can become an artform as well as a technical problem.

As any troubleshooter (auto, computer, mobile phone, electrician, etc.) will tell you, intermittent problems can be extremely difficult as well.

Took me several months to find the cause of a recurring "random" bsod problem with my laptop, for example. Learned a lot.

Months ago, I noticed a change when entering a post. When I double-clicked a word in a message I was preparing, I was unable to just start typing over that highlighted word in order to replace that word with a new one. I would have to delete the highlighted word first. Unless I'm mistaken, this didn't use to happen.

If the word is highlighted by painting it with the left-click-hold mouse method, I am able to type over the word just fine.

This is/was no big deal, but it may aid in troubleshooting ... maybe I'll google it myself.

But this sounds like some diagnostic software is needed. Smells like one problem may be an intermittent communication issue between us and the servers. I'll dig deeper this weekend.

Anyway, I said all that to post this:

nasa,

Are you able to try another browser beside Firefox? And are you able to upgrade to the latest version yourself, or is that not an option? Just curious because our techs seem to conclude that the old version of FF is the issue.

Anyone else can chime in too.

Thanks.

Using the work computer I do not have administrative rights so upgrades are problematic sometimes. I believe Firefox is do an upgrade soon.

I did try Edge from home last night and it seems things worked OK. However, I haven't tried attachments or pictures yet. I logged in this morning at work using Chrome and things seem fine.

**I just clicked the "go advanced" button and I got the "error" message in Chrome but selecting the "preview post" worked fine.

Edit seems to work fine. Just hit "go advance" and no problem.

I'll keep playing around when I have time and see what happens.

I have that issue as well with Chrome. That's when I move to FF (when I need the "go advanced" option).

Maybe I should research that instead of using the go around. :)

Thanks!

Someone said the latest version of Chrome is not having that "go advanced" issue. v. 70.0.3538.102

I will try it later.

That's the version I have and I just clicked on the "go advance" and it worked normal. So then I clicked on "preview post" and I got the error message. Very strange.
 
Just did a "reply with quote" to bmneveu and got the error message. It seems to be random.

** just got it again when I hit post message. Using edit to add this.

Yup, go advanced finally worked in Chrome Version 70.0.3538.102.

Preview just worked too.

I'll retry...


Edit. doing lots of edits, previews and go advanced. So far so good.

I'm seeing a new problem now. When I try to "reply with quote" or edit my post I frequently don't get the quoted or edited text filled into the entry field. It's just blank. Is anybody else seeing this? I'm using Chrome 71.0.3578.80 on Win10.

It must still be there because sometimes if I select "Go Advanced" it will be filled in. Other times the preview field will have an error message saying you need at least 3 characters for a preview.
 
Thanks. There does seem to be a lot of flaky things going on and I have to think it is new security settings in the browsers since the forum software itself has not changed.

That said, there was a new version released recently that is supposed to fix some "bugs", that I plan to implement soon. Hopefully some of these weird issues will be resolved.

Tom,

Haven't had any problems today.
 
Sometimes I get the Reply With Quote thing, refreshing the page helps sometimes.
