The quick reply box at the bottom of every thread does not have an up/down arrow/button when using Firefox, Safari works. All of the other boxes have the button just not the quick reply. I did a search and couldn't find a thread where anybody else mentioned this. This issue happens on both my Mac at home and my PC at work. Any ideas? Thanks!

 

edit...mine does...as does IE7

What Firefox doesn't have is the spell check button.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1

 

Can you tell me what you are referring to? Is it this button , this and , or something else?

The red button. Sorry. Heres an example from Safari.

 

That appears to be the only place in FF where the button doesn't exist. It's on all the panes to the left and the blue button is there at the bottom by posting rules.

 

Exactly. It's the most important button! Well the one I use the most

 

What does that arrow button do?

 

Which arrow button? The red one or the up and down versions? The red button collapses (and remembers) the block it is in. I use this all the time when viewing the forum list to collapse some areas that I'm not currently using.

The up and down arrows expands or contracts the size of the text area where you enter your quick post.

I'm using Firefox on OSX and I see the red button. Regardless its used to collapse the block it is associated with. In this case it really doesn't do anything useful except to collapse/expand the quick reply.

have you turned on the inline spell checking Firefox provides? It's excellent!

 

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.9 and Mac OSX 10.4.8 and I do not see the red button the OP is referring to either.

 

Posted this reply using Safari 2.0.4 on the same machine and the Red button (collapse) is there.

 

edit:

Thought I had something else, but was mistaken. Deleted original text.

 

Time to upgrade.

 

There's a red button? I'm running XP SP2 and Firefox 2.0.0.1 -- no red button. Up / down arrow thingies (decrease size, increase size), but that's it.

 

Is everyone talking about this -----><---- button image or something else? Let me know if you don't see the graphic between the arrows above.

Yes, Mark, that red button. I can see the one you posted, but there is not one on the right side of the Quick Reply black bar.

 

Mark - out of curiosity, I just took a look. It shows up in IE7 for me, but not in Firefox 2.0.0.1. In Firefox I only have the "DOM Inspector" and "Talkback" extensions loaded (the default ones, I believe), and I'm using the default theme. Pretty much a "plain jane" install of Firefox.

Seems to be a unique problem with Firefox on the PC, if your Firefox on MacOS is fine.

 

I'm using FF on a Mac.

 

What version? I'm on a Mac as well using FF but I'm on version 1.5.0.9.

Also, on the NAM home page, do you see the red buttons in each of the blocks? For example at the top of the Main Menu block?

 

Yes, the red collapse arrow shows up on the NAM home page by the Main menu, latest topics and buddy list bars.

 

fwiw- the red arrows by the main menu, latest topics and buddy list show up on this page also. i.e. not just the home page.

 

I'm using the latest Firefox 2.0.1 on both PC and Mac.

 

Offhand, after looking at the page's source, it looks like it's a bug in the 'showthread.php' page.. Scine other users are seeing it, and we - Windows FF 2.0 - aren't, and that section's not written by a javascript, the only other place it COULD be coming from is the PHP..

On another note - did VBulletin do this, or is this some customizations?Declarations with no data are everywhere, and can cause strange behaviour like this issue. (It's NOT causing this issue, I checked, but it isn't.. nice coding.) And it really fills up the Console with a whole LOT of errors..!
