Unable to start new threads on forum.

[OlegSh]

I seems to be unable to start new threads anywhere on the forum. Whenever I try it, after some seconds an empty page with "Manage attachments" button at the top shows up. This behavior is the same on Google Chrome and Firefox with minor differences. Posting replies to existing threads works.

May be someone has an idea if the problem is on my side or at the diyaudio server?

Regards,
Oleg

Question moved to its own thread.

Hmmm... I've just tried starting a thread with Edge and it was OK. Maybe some FF or Chrome users could see if they can duplicate what you are seeing.

Have you tried a full clean up of both temp files and temp internet files ? Sometimes odd things happen if the cache is corrupt.

FF and Safari fine. Don't have Chrome.

I have the same problem in Firefox. I am on Linux. The problem seems to be with wysiwyg editor on the "New Thread" page. At least this is what I suspect. Whenever wysiwyg editor loads the browser silently forwards to the web address starting with "http://wysiwyg...." etc. and this is where "Manage Attachments" button shows up. I found this using firefox. Chrome does not show such info.

Is there a way to disable the wysiwyg editor and just have a simpler version of it?

 

[Mooly]

Anything here (in your user control panel)

 

[OlegSh]

Tried simpler editor (changed my account preferences) with no success. Both, firefox and chrome are affected. I'm now trying it from the other computer.

 

[OlegSh]

Just tried it on Windows 10 using Edge. Same problem. I guess it is something in my accounts preferences but what?

 

[Mooly]

That's weird.

I can't think of anything that would cause this, and all I can suggest is you carefully go through all the options in the user CP and see if anything stands out.

 

[OlegSh]

I'll do it right now.

 

[Mooly]

I can't see anything in the profile settings when I check mine.

This might sound nuts but try resetting your router (pull the plug) and do a disk and browser cleanup.

 

[OlegSh]

Just restarted the modem/router. The problem is still there... Disk and browser cleanup probably won't do much since I tried it on the rather clean recent Windows installation (my wife's laptop) and the problem is the same as on my year old Linux installation. At the same time Chrome on Android tablet does not show this problem and I seems to be able to post new threads from there. I am really confused now what can be the problem...

 

[HumbleDeer]

Can you open up the resource monitor built into chrome? It's under the developers tool tab. Post a picture of what it says there, perhaps two if needed.

 

[OlegSh]

Attached is the output from the JavaScript console and the actual look of the webpage... I hope this is what you suggested.

 

[Mooly]

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for this one. I'll ask though and see if any one has any ideas.

 

[OlegSh]

Thanks Mooly! It is not so urgent right now since I still am able to start new threads from my multiple android devices but it would be nice to have it fixed at some moment. So far it is still not so clear at which side the problem originates.

 

[Mooly]

I really have no idea Oleg. It doesn't make sense that the problem exists on two different PC's and yet an Android one is OK.

Lets see if anyone has any bright ideas.

No light bulbs going on here. I've had a look at his personal area and nothing seems amiss on the surface.

 

[Pano]

Oleg's account has been reset. Maybe that will fix it. Please let us know.

 

[OlegSh]

Thanks Cal! Tomorrow I'll try on another computer in the office. Let's see if the problem surface there as well.

 

[OlegSh]

I guess that was it! Thanks a lot, Pano! The problem seems to be gone now!
