secon, if I view the page in IE I can reply to a topic.  Using Firefox 25.0.1 0n Win 8.1 here's what I get:

I get the same thing with all add-ons disable (Firefox Safe Mode)

That's weird, Tom.  I'm running the exact same thing as you (newest Firefox and Windows 8.1) and the text box has always shown up in the Post Body for me.

Just a suggestion.  You might try clearing out your browser history (press History then Clear Recent History) and cache (press Tools/Options/Advanced tab then Clear Now under Cache Web Content) in the tool bar at the top of your browser to see if that helps.  Can't hurt if you haven't done it in a while.

You can also download and install CCleaner, which is FREE.  It will do all that and clean up the registry on your computer.

Quick Reply is no faster than Reply, at least on my system.

The 'Quick Reply' is a bad joke!Dead I'm on an old computer (built before 2005) and therefore running Firefox 25 under WinXP Home. It takes longer for me to bring up the quick reply box than the standard reply box. There's nothing quick about it except the name.

I haven't read through the entire thread, so this may have been mentioned.   On page one of this thread it lists the pages as 1 through 6.  But if you go to another page in the thread, the pages are listed as 0 throught 5.  Screwy. 

 

And one thing that is really annoying, whenever my cursor passes over the black bar across the top (the one with Home: The Magazine: Get Started: etc.)  the drop down automatically appears, covering up the rest of the page.   Please make it so that I have to click on something to get the drop down.  Just have my cursor pass over it shouldn't make it appear.

Mine doesn't do that. I have to actively click on any part of the black line to get anything to happen. Guess it depends on your setup.

Tom, thanks for the tips. I tried them and no luck. I'll give them the weekend and contact them on Monday if no results. Tom

I use Firefox 25.0.1 with a Linux Operating System and have to clear all online data to log out. I never stay logged into any site any longer than I have to. Not a big deal to log back in.

 

Add Block and Flash block are great Add Ons by the way.

Got news for you buddy. The spell check for pc's, notebooks and laptops isn't working either. I'm starting to get used to this format and I like it.

What browser are you using?  I tried it on Firefox, Chrome, and Opera and all three do it.

It is Flash that does that. If your Flash is not up to date or is turned off then there is no mouse over on the menu.

You *could* have a roll over without flash, but most web developers use flash these days.

Somehow I have lost my avatar and can't seem to post a new one.  When I choose a new photo (or the old one) in my pictures folder, the green progress bar never finishes.  Without the porgess bar being all green, you get a error message when you click on post photo.  I have tried in both chrome and IE, I had no trouble before posting a photo as an avatar.

You guys are lucky because it sounds like your spell check just doesn't work. The IPhone spell check seems to hate spaces and it comes up with words not even in thedictionary, and whyou you try to fix a word, it just makes if worse as yyou can see.  Iabsolutely hate it!!! It can't get muchworse!

Have you tried installing a new avatar from one of the forums that still has the old format?

Have you tried installing a new dictionary? My spell checker started screwing up last week. Installing a new dictionary fixed it.

Dear Trains.com,
FYI, my Win7HomePremium SP1 64-bit PC upgraded my IE to version 11.0.9600.16428 this week from IE ver. 10 that I used to have.  Ever since, I can no longer access this Forum with it.  I try to get there via direct link or by going through this website's menus, and IE thinks about it, then simply stops and pretends it never tried to get there in the first place.  I don't even get an error message, just a whole lot of nothing.

Fortunately, I also have Firefox, which your forum still loads on, so I'm still able to access it.  But I just thought I'd let you know that you're new software apparently hates IE ver. 11.
