I usually use Firefox browser. I had 1.0.7 installed, and then started noticing I could no longer post with it.
The cursor would never show up in the text box, and sometimes the text box would nit un-gray for me to post, either.
I upgraded to Firefox 1.5, and same deal. This is all within the last few days. IE, which I really, really try to
avoid, works. What gives?

The problem is the browser.
Firefox made a lot of changes to fix security holes and upgrade operability. It's possible that there is some tweak
that will fix the problem but I don't know what it is. Have you contacted Firefox about it? Almost all web site
software optimizes for IE so you will find bugs with other browsers. Most get worked out over time but that's the
price of using another (better or preferred) browser.

Is there some work being done
on the forum? Could be the cause.

The work being done on the
forum is probably not being done live time. Generally you modify something and test it before uploading the files to
the web server.

The forum was upgraded to a new
version when we changed servers last June; nothing much done since then.

It is indeed, just this
website I am having problems with. How could this be the case that you're using the same browser and I'm having
problems but not you? I hate IE! With a passion!

I'm using Firefox 1.5 on a Mac
(OS 10.39) and everthing is jim-dandy on this site. Also, Safari and Netscape work well too. I haven't tried IE for
a long time.

you may have already tried
this, but the only thing i can think of in my limited tech knowledge would be to clear out all cookies for the site
and clear out the cache.
edit:
i just noticed that the cursor does not show up in the message window, but if i
select it and start typing it works fine.

Well, now it's working. I
don't know if it's because I cleared the cookies or rebooted or what... I have Firefox set to clear cookies every
time I close the browser, but I tend to hibernate instead of rebooting to save time since I go back and forth
between Linux and Windows to burn duplicating masters when I create new CDs.
Thanks for all the help!

using the Firefox browser. I just tried installling various plug-ins, including java, but that made no difference.

check to see that java and
javascript are enabled. go to tools/options/content tab/ and select the java option boxes then reload the page.
there is an extension i use called 'noscript' for extra security. for every new web site you visit, it
automatically blocks javascript. you need to manually allow the website to run it. it's kinda like the cookie
blocker - you can select to either allow the site for the session or always allow.

Thanks. That was actually the
first thing I thought of. It's actually no big deal at all, since you can type, but just can't see the cursor. I
guess it's just something to be aware of.
