Severe malfunctions in Firefox
 

First the banner at the top wouldn't move up when I scrolled down in a thread, then the like button stopped working, now the post reply button doesn't work!

We don't need to mention not being able to see embedded videos, of course.

Yes. These symptoms and more. Bike Forums is broken for Firefox.

Well that sucks, because I'm not changing browsers.

Also, when I hover my cursor over the Forums tab, the drop-down menu doesn't drop down; I have to click on it, which takes me to the forums list.

Quick reply still doesn't work, but regular reply does. What the actual hell?

I use Firefox and it seems to be working fine. I may not use all the features and rarely watch videos people post. Maybe reinstall Firefox?

Attempt to reply to this - not as a "quote", but as a "Post Quick Reply".

I just tried to post a quick reply. No can do. (I've been having this issue since yesterday.)

Edit: (Let's see if this works.) Windows 10 PC, Firefox. And like Korina, I am not changing browsers.

ok

I did above as quick reply. Don't think I ever noticed or used it before, I've always used "Quote."

And this w/o checking the "Quote message in reply?" box. :foo:

I let our tech team know about all of the different Firefox issues. I will let everyone know if there's anything we can do about it.

Today, Chrome is broken too. Same symptoms as yesterday on Firefox.
Only mobile page is working for me

So far Chrome with Win 11 is working for me. But I also don't use the <quike reply> button, I just go to the editor window at the bottom of the thread and start typing or I click <quote>. Never really understood why <quick reply> is there, unless maybe if the thread is sorted differently, then it puts the reply with that response it was tagged on. Heck, I don't even know if the threads can have their sort order changed. I guess I'll look after I post this.

Still occasionally run into those youtube vids that don't show up. But that was a day or so ago.

testing

Chrome quick reply worked for me. I let tech know about the Firefox stuff so they should be investigating it today.

I get the same issue with Safari on MacOS, but only on one of my computers. I suspect it is content/tracker blocking.

Good to know. There's another case of it happening on Safari so I will let the tech team know it was reproducible.
Do you usually accept the cookies on the site?

Now the Notifications button doesn't work. Interestingly, all my issues seem to be within the threads not the forums. Notifications worked just fine in the forum.

I tried both ways (all cookies, only essential) and it is the same. Also of note is on that browser I do not see the editor icons (B, I, U etc), which usually indicates a javascript issue. (I'm using an older version of Safari and MacOS currently, and it all works fine.)

I am further updating the problematic Safari version on my laptop, and will post back if that resolves the issue.

Problem persists with Safari and OS update, but it (still) works fine using Brave.

The quick reply will be fixed on Monday. Our tech team has come to a conclusion of why it is happening but is going to delay the fix until Monday so that nothing bigger will break over the weekend. Come Monday though, the quick reply function should be working again.

I had all the same issues. Couldn't post photos as well. I am using and older imac, Firefox was not the newest, but version 109. Everything did work fine when I switched my chrome book, but I am usually on the mac.
edit: I forgot the "like" button also no longer works

I'm finding after I hit "Quick reply" a lot of the Forum function\s don't work for the rest of the session. I have to bail and reboot my PC. Just restarting Firefox isn't enough.

Edit: And I learned here why post have these massive blank fields in them (and sometimes references to videos and links I cannot see).

Yep its all gone belly up it seems, this forum seems to be having continual issues for months now.

I can't give any likes, or upload any pics when using Chrome today. Sometimes the pic attachment tab is missing completely, other times the pic attachment tab showed up but when I added the link to the pic the 'upload' tab is greyed out and won't submit, very annoying.

So I thought I'd try using the Firefox browser, but unlike Chrome where I am permanently logged in, Firefox is asking me for a password, that I've long since forgotten. So I tried the reset password function, I added my email address and pressed 'request password reset email', but I'm repeatedly getting a 'you did not complete the Capcha verification properly, please try again' however every time I do this there is no Capcha box showing at all so obviously I can't complete it, so can't do anything on Firefox and nothing other than browsing on Chrome.

So God only knows what's going on. I've got some lovely Italy pics to share too, but no way to share them on this forum, so I'll go and post them on another forum for now and check in here in a few days and see if these issues have resolved.

There were similar reports of these issues on one of other sites. The user there fixed their problem by clearing all the data stored. A possible fix for the issues would be clearing your computer of ALL BikeForums data: saved logins, history, links, permissions, etc. If you do try this route, please make sure you have your login information correct. If not, there should be a fix on Monday for the quick reply.

It was directed towards those that may not have tried any of what you just said. In that case, it should be fixed on Monday when the tech team puts the fix out.

I'm noticing that when I reach the end of a thread page it doesn't auto-load the next page; I have to click "next page".

I just learned a trick to post from Firefox after I've hit "Post Quick Reply" and failed. Highlight and copy the text that went nowhere. Now quote somebody. Copy in your text, Cut the quote and hit Submit Reply. If this works again for me, you will see it. If it doesn't? I'll go hide. :)

About what time should we look for this fix?
