Some Features Of Forum Not Working Or Not Available Anymore? Why?

1) When I make a post I just get a plain box now. No choice for font, text color, emoticons, etc.

2) On my notification list I used to be able to check the box at the top right and it would check all the boxes next to my notifications. It doesn't do that now.

3)In a topic I can't see who is following the topic. I used to be able to see that.

These are a few of the problems there are a couple more. They all started yesterday or day before. I even rebooted the computer to see if that helped. It didn't.

Aynone else having these same issues? Open to any and all suggestions to get things working right.

Thanks.

I'm on a new iPad. PMs and posts both have a send button, but it only works if I quote someone (obviously that does not work with the PM's). I just tried again...same problem in this post.

Hi' date=' are you using a browser, or are you using the Gastric Sleeve App on your iPad?[/quote']

Sorry I was traveling. I am on the Sleeve App on the Ipad

This is a small bug with our latest app and we're working on resolving. All you need to do is press RETURN key after the text you type and the send button will light up once the return key is clicked.

Hi Alex,

I cannot use the nifty stuff at the top of the reply box, no smilies, bold, ect. It is greyed out.When I roll over the stuff it gets darker but clicking on them will do nothing. Internet Explorer 9. It worked fine a few days ago. I tried to find something that might have changed on my part in internet options but no dice.

Any advise?

P.S.

Well, it must be an IE9 thang. I am posting this line with firefox. -_-:mellow:

P.P.S.

Alex, this is a common problem with IE9 apparently. It may have to do with a java script update that IE9 made that left forums in the cold. Check out this thread about 7 - 9 posts down:

Have you tried running our site in Compatibility Mode ? Lemme know if that works please.

No luck, Alex.

From Microsoft:

(If a website doesn't display correctly in Internet Explorer, using Compatibility View might help. If Internet Explorer recognizes a website that isn't compatible, you'll see the Compatibility View icon on the address bar. To turn Compatibility View on, click the Compatibility View button to the make the icon change from an outline to a solid color.)

There was no icon. I went to Tools-Compatibility settings and added the forum to the list to be viewed in Compatibility View . No change, the stuff is still greyed out and doesn't work.

Oh, no! I just discovered the toggle editing mode button on the top left of the reply tools box. Sorry for the trouble, Alex. All is well now. :rolleyes::)
