What has happened to the forums! I can't post or edit as I'm not getting a text box displayed into which I can type! It displays briefly and then disappears! This happens on all our computers using Firefox or IE 11. Using IE8 displays the edit box but doesn't display the editing style buttons above it!
Help!

I confirm this problem for "Quick Reply" and "Private Message" boxes.
Editbox in "Advanced mode" does work.
I use Google Chrome.
Re: Issue with using the fourms - cannot edit or post
Advanced mode also doesn't work in Firefox or IE11. IE8 gets the edit box but no editing icons.

Now seems to have been fixed. Before marking thread as resolved, I'll monitor and report back.

Re: Issue with using the fourms - cannot edit or post
That screen shot is the problem I was getting - no text edit box! It's now OK for me but looks like its moved on!
When it was happening here, the edit box/icons briefly appeared and then disappeared - almost as if another window had been laid over them.
If the problem hasn't been identified and fixed, then something weid is going on.

Pretty sure it was some sort of page loading issue...could have been an ad that was running at the time?!?!?!? If it happens again - hit the F5 key.... and or clear the cache in your browser.

That's possible - as now that its working again, the ads have changed!

Re: Issue with using the fourms - cannot edit or post
IE 10 isn't working for me. I just tried to respond to a post and was able to type two lines of text, but when I hit the enter key, it refused to add another line. I closed the browser, retried and even saved the post and then attempted to edit it with no luck. Even in this post I can't add more than two lines.
Re: Issue with using the fourms - cannot edit or post
As another similar issue is that it's really tough to answer threads from a mobile browser. After you get several lines, you are unable to scroll down in the editor window (instead the complete page scrolls down so you can't access text (often text you've just typed). On mobile dragging the arrow at the lower right corner of the editor doesn't work either.
