Anybody else having this problem today?

About 5 times today, after scrolling down, reading all of the comments in a thread, I go to the "Reply" box to make a comment, but the box is not there properly (not clickable). If I hit "refresh", it comes back (so far).

Yes, just occurred in another reply I was making.  You going to do a "Error report" to Jeff?

Shoot, went back to the other thread I wanted to reply to and now, even with a refresh, it'll grey out when I scroll down to start entering text.

Error report?

Duhhhh, If I knew how?

It usually gets to somebody who has "The Power".

LOL---You could do that Dave, and include my name

I think this has been an issue for the past couple days. Jerry (Pineywoods) was aware of it and I think some PMs were sent. I'll send another PM to the admin's to let them know this problem still exists.

I've had the same experience but hitting 'refresh' a few times solves it; it's like it's not finishing loading with an error on the page.  I just thought it was me or my system!

I had the problem too.  It seems to do with the site cookies (not real cookies).  I was logged in to SMF on my desk PC and on my laptop out by the smoker too.  Didn't like that so much.  And I think the cookies may have been close to being expired.

Oh well...no problems today.

Shoot for a while I was only getting the reply box but with none of the buttons, spell check, bold, italic buttons. Not even the Submit or Reply buttons.  I could not even answer a post. I am using Firefox and found using IE Tab brought them back, I am now back to Firefox and it all seems good. Not sure what happened.

 If I tried to start a new thread, the little candy cane thingy would come up and spin and spin and spin and spin....

I've had the same issue for the last couple days, but going to the Avanced Reply seems to work for me,

Is there any chance we can go back to the old board? this isn't working for me.

I'll just chime in to say that this has occurred to me, as well.  If Jerry knows about it then Jeff knows about it and I'm sure that he's already talking to the forum people.

 I had been in contact with Jerry since June 26th or so on this. Heard from Jeff on the 28th. Didn't know others were having the same problem though.
