    Default Anyone else having issue posting using Firefox 3.6.3

    I think this might be something wrong with my machine but I wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing it. I'm having issues posting using Firefox. If I log on using Internet Explorer it works fine. However, when on Firefox (version 3.6.3) I can't get any of the formatting functions to work. I can type all the text I want but none of the special formatting buttons (smileys, Bold/Itallic/Underline, Picture attachment, etc.) seem to work.

    All the buttons are there and when I scroll over them they open showing choices such as what smiley, what size font, etc. but I am unable to select any of them. Or more specifically when I select any of them nothing happens at all. I can scroll my mouse over them and the selection box moves with my mouse but nothing happens when I click.

    I've been to the user settings section and I have those set correctly. Strange that I can see them but they just don't function.

    I figure it's some sub-program (Java, etc. ) that is not working properly but everything I see says they are all the current versions.

    Another clue, all of this DOES work over on that other Piper board that recently switched to Vbulletin Version 4.0.2 so this must be related either to my settings or this version of Vbulletin. Maybe.

    v3.6.3 as well with no problems. Firefox disables scripting by default. Did you just do an update? Had you been using Firefox to post before you noticed the problem?

    Mine is working on Firefox. Have you tried clearing the cookies? I will forward this to SJ.

    It's working now. Must have needed to clear cookies or something.

    Thanks for the help.
