I figure it might be them doing something to the software in the background; maybe they flush a cache of everyone logged in, and so everyone gets bounced and has to re-login. Weird things can happen if you tinker with "live" software. :D

I'm seeing a blank Quote box when I read a post that quotes another member's post. I tried disabling Adblocker but it didn't help. Is this a glich or something
in my settings? Don't see others complaining about this.
Also my buttons have no text.

Do you have a link to one of the posts that shows this?

Try clearing your cache, clearing cookies (maybe just ecf cookies), reboot. The usual suspects. You've already tried turning off adblock, or I would mention that. Did you reload the page after disabling adblock? If you have the time, do one thing at a time so that you discover the solution.

Do you have any other plugins/extensions that may be interfering? Have you made any other changes or additions recently?

Yes! That worked! Thanks so much, vaping Turtle!

The part of Canada that doesn't get enuf Snow :(
This new system is still very unfriendly to mobile devices I don't understand why ? When mobile I have to do multiple clicks to get to subscribed threads. Isn't this setup supposed to be more friendly ? Another thing is when there a new post it doesn't show up on mobile yet does on desktop is this something that may be rectified at some point ?


and Ps mods I appologize for my use of what I thot would be an ok word in a pm to one of our suppliers especially as it was in an apology and I was referring to myself :lol:

I posted a problem here a few days back. I thought I had it figured out but it happened again. I experimented a bit and I can reproduce it.

I hit Reply to a post. Then I typed in some text. Went to Options, then Preview. Then exited out back to the forum.

At that point I got stuck with something. I couldn't get rid of the message in my reply box. I can log out and back in. Close ECF and reopen. Nothing changes. If I go back to the same thread, in this case Cloud Chasers in General Vaping, I could see that text in my reply box on every page. Don't have to use the Quote function to make this happen.

The only way I could clear it was to actually reply to the message.

Update......

I typed in the message above. Selected More Options, then Preview. Then selected the forum name at the top of the page without sending the message. Came back into this thread and my message was there in my reply box. Closed ECF and went back in and it's still there whenever I come to this thread..

If I don't go through Options and Preview the message disappears when I leave the thread, which it seems like it ought to.

Not the end of the world but it seems a bit funky.

That's actually a feature, not an issue.

Just delete the text and then delete the draft using the disc icon if you don't want to save it.

Gotcha. Thanks Tibs. I looked through those icons but I either missed Draft or didn't realize what its purpose was. I just went round in circles for quite a long time trying to figure that one out. I spent 30 years writing software and ten years later I've turned into one of the bonehead users who used to call me up asking stoopid questions.

Anybody else notice that text posted in the Edit "Post edit reason:" doesn't show up? I kind of like having that text visible - whether for actual edit reason or subtle messages on the side.

Bump?

Yea, low priority at best.

But things have really been improving in here, thanks to some real dedication. Thank you ECF team!

[edit] Just editing to see if "edit reason" shows up when my post is not the last in the thread.
