Issue Issue in group forum

[Dee]

Hi!

So since a couple of days the message box in our group forum has a bunch of issues for me. It will not let me click on any of the options above the text box, like the buttons for bold, italics, links etc. Also a lot of times I can't type in the text box, when I hover the mouse above the box it doesn't do anything. The mouse arrow does change to a hand icon when hovering over the 'post' and 'preview' button. I tried clicking on the preview button and sometimes the text box will work after that.

PS: I did not have any issues while typing this thread, and can also use all the buttons above the text box.

How very strange. I can't seem to replicate that issue.
Anyone else having the same problem?

It seems to work fine right now. It happened a couple of times over the past few days, I'll report back when it happens again.

And it's back, I can't post in the group forum right now. Again, no issue at all posting here in the public forum.

Hi @Dee
Are you able to take a screenshot to show me, as it's something I can't seem to replicate and have had no other reports.

Thanks

I took some screenshot, but it doesn't show the cursor lol, so here are some pics from my phone:

As you can see, the cursor doesn't change so I can't click anything. It does change when I hover over the "post reply" and "preview" buttons.

It seems so random. I clicked on different topics and on some I can post, on others I can't. On one topic I could click to the next page, and another one didn't let me click on page 2.

I have now gone back to the topic I originally wanted to post in, and now the cursors work there. (After about 10 attempts when it didn't)

That's such a odd glitch. Trying to look into it and can find no issues reported.

 

[Dee]

Lol, yeah I was afraid that would be the case! I understand that you can't fix what you can't find Do I at least get a "uniquely weird glitch" reward?

Hi Dave - do we have a reward post yet for riding the Comet?

Maybe it depends on the browser you use? Another glitch I noticed is that (already for a long period) sometimes I am not able to click links in the text (e.g. to a google spreadsheet), but after reloading the page, everything returns to normal and I am able to use the link. I experimented a bit with the glitch (which often occurs, though comes up randomly) that if you click a few lines above the visible link or a few lines below the visible link, I am able to follow the link, so it is as if the visible link is not at the correct place. Guess it is related to the adds that are added to the pages. I am using the Chrome browser on a pc, did not check if it also occurs in another browser or on another OS. Anyhow, refreshing the page helps for me.

I can try hovering the pointer around the buttons to see if that works. I use Microsoft Edge by default. Reloading hasn't worked for me so far. Thanks for your feedback
