trouble posting on forum?

for the last couple of days i havent been able to post on the forum (i'm not using my pc or laptop now)

the icons in the text box are different and the text box itself is grey and not white.

if i type something and preview it nothing appears, if i quote someone, write a reply and post it just shows the full quote?

it does this on my laptop and my pc but i can post when using stephs laptop.

i use google chrome on both computers but i've only not been able to post for the last few days and i've been using chrome for a couple of months.

so, does anyone know whats going on? is it something to do with chrome, something to do with forum settings? is there anything i can do or anything anyone can suggest?

cheers guys.

Same thing was happening on my Mac, I use Safari.

Dont know what is wrong though

i cant post from my Iphone now either for some reason. has the same grey box mentioned above.

im on my mac aswell when you go to type theres a button in the top right hand corner with 2 'A's click on that it should change.

f**king legend!

didnt spot that, just clicked it and all the links have changed and the text box gone white. looks a bit basic now but at least its working.

cheers buddy, appreciate that!

Wooooooo i can type again too been having exactly the same problem on google chrome as well!

maybe a mod should make this a 'sticky' for a while as it seems alot of people have been having the issue?

to stop you posting about orange Mk3's

It's an issue with the forumotion forums.
Its a compatability issue that they're suffering at the moment as its not affecting Firefox and IE (both based around the original netscape kernel).

Basically saying, If you dont like pressing the a/A button, use IE or Firefox as opposed to Chrome/Safari/Opera.
IMO, i'd rather press the button and stick with Chrome.
