technical issue Problem with text box

[Wardaddy 470]

I will cut to the chase on this one. There appears to be a problem of some kind with the text box I would use to comment on threads or topics. I cannot post images, gifs or even text. Furthermore, the options above, such as URL or Special BBCode do not work properly. I can access them, but when I try to insert a spoiler or a web address, they do not work.

 

Could somepony help me fix this? It would be much appreciated.

 

EDIT: It appears to be Internet Explorer which is suffering this problem. Everything works fine on other browsers like Safari for instance. Should I shift forum operations to Safari?

It could be the browser you're using, but that's my guess.

I would yes. There are known issues with IE operation with the CKEditor plug-in. A way around it would be to click on the BBCode lightswitch icon (the very first icon in the tool bar).

Yup, this is the WYSIWYG bug. IE (and possibly some other browsers) have an issue with IP.Board. The workaround is the go down to the editing box, and click the little icon in the top left corner (It supposedly looks like a lightswitch), to change it to BBCode mode. After that,everything should be alright.

, let me know if using BBCode mode or switching browsers works better for you.

I think I'll be better off working on a separate browser.
