nicolas18 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have the same problem. Oddly enough, it only happens with the Full Reply form, not with the Quick Reply one. I have Win7 but I think it is Firefox-related though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I am using Windows 7 64bit and Chrome no problem at all. Same here, but with FF3.6 it was borked, hence i change browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I got XP and now with my recent FF 3.6 upgrade I got no cursor in the full reply box... The solution about the button at the end of the reply box above should work for you, everytime FF is upgraded it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krading Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Still no good. In my 'Attachment Editor' window I have a wagon wheel spinning and a the statement 'Initialising Attachments'. Any ideas on that? edit. the rich text button does nothing. Edited February 19, 2010 by krading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I got XP and now with my recent FF 3.6 upgrade I got no cursor in the full reply box... I got XP (it ain't broke so I'm not fixing it) and I've got Firefox 3.5.8 (also not broke and I'm not fixing that either). There must be a phrase here that can be coined... how about "update junkies". The people who automatically must have the latest version of something and then spend hours trying to sort out why it doesn't do what they want it to.

JetsetBkk Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It updates automatically. I just let it do what it wants. I don't bother it and it don't bother me. That's one approach. However, I prefer to wait before installing updates... http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsg...p;sloc=&p=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It updates automatically. I just let it do what it wants. I don't bother it and it don't bother me. what happens when you switch browsers? Could it be a firefox add on causing some glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The original poster only mentioned "Windows 7" and not which browser he used from then on, but sounds very much like the problems that I and many others had encountered with FF 3.6. Search the forum for "No Cursor When Replying Or Posting". (admins stated it has been resolved? I switched back to FF 3.5.x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiDong Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Anybody still having problems can try installing a previous version of FF here http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php I had the same problem so I re-installed FF 3.5.1, I had to reboot for the installation to take effect and it worked, HOWEVER, my PC had been switched on for many many days and a reboot can make the world of difference even without installing an old version of FF, the reboot may have fixed the problem... p.s. my evaluation version of Windows 7 is up for renewal(I have to buy the real one ) in 12 days so I thought that might have started to bug me into buying a real one!

brahmburgers Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I had the same problem, and had just installed a newer version of Firefox. Though just now, I clicked the far right upper button with the two arrows, as recommended in an earlier post on this thread, and the problem is gone. Is it fixed just for now, or will it come back? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 This is caused by the recent Firefox update and an incompatibility with the Rich Text editing box There is a fix available here : http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/3...or-ipboard-236/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Probably rather caused by non-compliant javascript programming by IPB, revealed by the Firefox Update. It could also be realted with the used doctype XHTML, even if transitional. The DIV or panel containing the Google ads cause an error in IE7.
