I have a new issue with DP which began on Tuesday. When attempting to reply to a thread the ‘quick reply’ box will open and the white text field will appear momentarily (2 seconds) then go grey. There is no place to type the reply. Change to ‘go advanced’ same thing happens. ‘Reply to thread’ same thing happens. Running IE10, have restarted, rebooted, checked configurations…stumped.

This was sent via Firefox on the same machine…no issue...?

Ideas/suggestions?
 

I had all sorts of issues, including yours, when using IE. I reluctantly switched to Chrome and have never looked back.
 

The same thing happened to me using IE8 on the same day. I had to switch to Firefox to access DP also.
 
We installed a new feature on the site for staff to use and it appears to create problems with IE - imagine that! For the love of all that is holy people, STOP using IE. Chrome and Firefox are superior browsers to IE and have been for quite some time.

Personally, I've used Firefox for years. Now that the Chrome browser for Android works oh so well with saving shortcuts and passwords between my cell and my PC, I've abandoned FF for Chrome.
 

Oh sure, you wait till I step down to add new toys for mods...

It was vauge's idea. Don't shoot the messenger, shoot the owner! :lol:
 
I hope we don't have to remove it.

I asked the mod author to look into the issue.

That's the same message the NSA, DOJ and DHS have said, stop using IE.
 
Another reason to stop using IE: malware/viruses. Since IE is tied in with the MS OS, it seems malware/viruses have an easier time infiltrating your PC. Chrome is the way to go.

Google Chrome is like having a NSA (National Security Agency) receiver and transmitter station embedded in your computer.

It may help preventing a couple of those cyber terrorist virus attacking your computer but you give up a whole lot of personal privacy.
