Technical Glitch on the Forums?
09-01-2011, 01:07 PM
Hi guys,
Sorry to post this here but before e-mailing Roosh I wanted to see if anybody else has been experiencing some technical problems when posting on the forums. Specifically:
- You tube video blinks and I cant see them.
- The cursor goes automatically to the bottom of every post, de facto making it impossible to scroll up or amend any post.
I use Mozilla but switched to Explorer to see if the issue was browser related, still, the problem is still there. Anybody else is experiencing funky behavior when trying to post, edit, scroll up or down on the forums?
Thanks,
Oblivion

Also I'm using Chrome and have not experienced the problem. Anyone getting it with Chrome?
I want to collect as much information on it as possible before going to the Mybb forum programmers with the problem.

I'll test a few other things, to diagnose the issue. Hopefully we can single out a pattern.

Even in threads without embedded youtube, with Firefox 6.0.1 at least while editing there's limited ability to highlight text with the mouse --you drag it down and it loses cursor mid drag. If you attempt to highlight and hit Backspace to Delete, it again drops cursor before you highlight all the text you want. It also has a way of popping out of cursor highlight mode so your backspace is interpreted as a browser instruction instead of an editing session function, causing you to instead backspace to the previous webpage you were at before you started editing.

And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."

I thought this was just me. Same issue here.

It's just plain fucked with Firefox. Chrome has no issues.

It's a pain in the ass replying to private messages. It's putting the red dots under the words like I'm spelling them wrong. Then it's jumping all around and making me fuck up, so I press delete but then it goes back a page.
Aloha!

It's smooth sailing if you use an apple computer and this Safari part.

How about now? I think I've identified the problem to the countdown javascript I was using to promote the future release of Day Bang at the top of the page.

I was about to write about this myself. I've been having difficulty for the past several days when I try to reply to comments. While on the reply page the auto-corrects in spelling often don't appear or take forever, I can't drag a highlight over text to copy/paste, and I've accidentally gone forward or back a page somehow by pushing something. This leaves me having to retype my entire comment.
The highlighting thing has been very frustrating. I use Firefox 6, btw.

Oh, and I can't drag the scroll bar in the response window either. Pushing the up/down arrow is slow or non-responsive.

I've been having problems replying to private messages. They show up as blank, but when I hit "reply" I can see the text inside the response box. I'm using Google Chrome.
