Ok, since the new format I have been having issues with the reply box being greyed out. I have to reload and reload a page to get it to appear blank and be able to type. somtimes if I hit the reply button the box which was white and waiting for text then greys out and I am back to hitting the rload button again and again till the cosmos decides it ok.

I use Mozilla/Firefox browser and everything is up to date javascript enabled and cookies too (dammit) . It's getting ridicoulous and frustrating.

I have the same problem, Gunnar. I've mentioned it (even posted a screenshot of how the reply box appears when it's messed up), but have yet to hear anything back about the problem. I'm also running Firefox (3.6.3).

That happens to me too, but not all the time and I've never had to wait for it to reload.  I get the thing that says please wait and after I wait I can type my reply.
OK ... where am I going?.. and WHY am I in this handbasket??

This has progressed to the absurd. Just spent 5 minutes trying to reply to a thread and gave up. Fortunately, I had better luck here.

This bug was first reported 2/17/10 and there was no reply from Huddler. Judging from the fact that it has gotten worse, I'd hazard a guess that nothing was done. Considering this is an interactive forum, I would think people being able to participate would warrant a little more attention.

so far the best solution I have found is to type as fast  (and randomly) as you can  (during a reload and while the box goes white) to give the browser the idea that you REALLY! want to type in the flippin box!. If it sparks any ones interest I have ISSUES WITH TAGGING TOO! the little tag box doesn't always come up and I have to reload and then hit the tag button and hope that the tag box then loads or it's a rinse and repeat process.

Me too.  I've found that hitting the refresh button and putting the cursor in the box and clicking works everytime.  (famous last words)

 What browser are you guys using? Sorry your having trouble. I am using google chrome and it seems to work fine.

Wonder if it is the ads that are causing the problem.
Thanks,

I am having the same exact problem. Some days everything is fine, some days it's unuseable. It doesn't matter whether I use Firefox (3.5.9) on my Mac, or Internet Explorer on my wife's PC. Some days I just can't post a new thread, and I can't reply to an existing thread.

Very frustrating!

I am getting the same, sometimes clicking advanced reply and then hitting the back button will get a white typing area.

So far, the new text editor that appeared on cheftalk.com a couple of days ago or so seems to have fixed that issue!

I was having the same problem .....today though it was two things:

 

1- Everytime I tried to logout it gave me problems, kept me logged in

2- When I sent a pm , the screen went dark (wrote message sent) but would not return to normal. I had to close out and sign back in.

 

Yesterday I had the warning of a virus...it turned out to be nothing. I use Google/Norton and at work Google/Comodo

 

Just to let you know.....things  will work out.

Variation on a theme.

 

The past two days the reply box is acting strange. About half the time all you get is a white screen witht he word "reply." But it's not a live box.

 

This happens primarily if I click directly on a thread. If I first open the forum, then open the thread, then scroll down to the bottom, the regular reply box appears.

 

The non-live screen also appears when I try to start a new thread.

 

Very disconcerting.

I've had much of the same problems that everyone else has reported in this thread and I still use IE Version 6.  Mozilla seemed to work fine but it interfered with my IE6 and so it was uninstalled and I've had no problems with IE6 since the uninstallation.

 

But for some reason I'm unable to post here and I think I, too, found a work around: hit the refresh button (and I don't know if the cursor had been setting inside of the reply box at the same time).  Some of this new software sucks; one of the worst offenders being at TeaChat which worked just find under the old stuff but not now.  To access the comments, at least Mozilla must be used but I refuse to get it for the reasons just stated.  Oh well, their loss.

Best,
