Hi moderators... There seems to be a glitch on the Inbox section of the control panel (sorry if it's already mentioned). It always shows "0" messages until it's clicked. Once visited, it shows the number of new messages.
This number does not dynamically update, it requires user intervention by navigating through the site or clicking refresh. We may add this dynamic action in the near future. If your waiting for a new message then leave your browser viewing your actual inbox, this will dynamically indicate that a new message has been delivered. Thanks for the feedback.

Firefox should no longer have the invisible box problem when writing posts.

Forum admin,
The text in my posts looks fine while Im writing it, but loses all the paragraphs when its posted and compresses the whole lot into one big unreadable chunk of text. Its only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 3.0.1 a day ago (was ok in the previous version.) It is also ok in IE 6, as I edited one of my squashed posts in IE and it looked fine when it was saved. Im using a PC with XP.
Edit - its done it with this post too.
I have now corrected the problem. Firefox have changed the way that Carriage returns are stored within Texboxes. I have reported this to them and altered this website to correct the problem. Thanks for the feedback and worth a vote from me....(up)

Hi Pete,
Just to let you know that I'm writing this post on a PC with Firefox 3.0.1 the invisible box is still there and yet in the way.
Version 3 did fix the cursor problem but the box is still there. If you double click text that is behind the box the text does not highlight like it should. Firefox I'm sure will fix this in time as the invisible box is a component of a standard AJAX script. In the meantime, I will look at alternatives. Thanks for the quality feedback. I've given you and Swantje a vote for your help. Watch this thread for an update.

Sorry to disagree, but I have had the issue on firefox version 3 as well.
I will keep looking but the error went away for me when i upgraded to Firefox 3. This post has not displayed any errors either. Please check your Firefox v3 PC now and tell me if the problem has gone as I have changed a few things anyway.

SOLUTION:
This is a bug within FireFox v2. They have fixed the problem in Firefox 3, so, please install the new version of Firefox to fix this error. Thanks for the feedback. (up)

I have now figured out the problem. I had this problem on Safari browser also last week. Its the 'Please Wait' pop up layer that stays above the post reply on screen but is invisible. I will investigate further.

I've just posted using Firefox v2 without this error but i will change a few things shortly to attempt to fix your issue. I will need to turn off the character and word counter during this test. Please note that we have hundres of users using Firefox and that i believe that this is either a new problem that has only just started or it only effects a small number of users. Still, i will investigate and resolve the problem. ;-)

hi forum admin,
there's something wrong when i try to write posts (replies to posts) on this forum: my cursor gets lost halfway through my post and i can't write anymore. after a few minutes of waiting it reappears somewhere in the post and then i can continue for a bit, then it disappears again. what's going on? i've got a bog-standard windows pc and i'm using firefox.
it's driving me crazy.
thanks!
No-one has reported this problem before, and you do not need any software like JAVA for this website. Try using a different browser to verify if it's your computer that is having problems. Are you using the NEW Firefox version?
