No other reports like yours as of now. What browser are you using?

Suddenly (within a couple of weeks) doesn't work on Chrome or Supermium browsers on my Windows machine, or my Samsung Tab S6 Lite (I just updated Chrome on it, but problem persists), but just discovered it works fine on my Pixel 8. Have limitations been placed on my forum account?

Given that I'm seeing this issue on two different platforms, I think it must be something with the forum software. Maybe an update is needed, I don't know. What do you think?

Well, no one else has chimed in here. I've tried 3 different browsers with no issues whatsoever. No issues on other forums. Forum updates aren't my department.

It's possible that other people who indeed are experiencing the problem don't have multiple devices, one of which might work, so they simply can't chime in, you know what I mean? 

 

Here are the details to the issue:

 

When you try to reply to a topic, there is a box to enter text. However, when you click in the box, the function immediately changes to the Attachments function. Same thing happens when you press the Quote button in the message you're trying to quote in your reply. 

 

Same thing when you try to create a new topic, except you can type in the Title field. 

 

Same thing happens when trying to use the Contact Us link. 

 

It seems to be a problem with that multifunctional text field. In all cases, that field converts itself to only being able to attach files. 

 

Hope this helps you find a resolution. 

 

Edit: For what it's worth, on my Windows machine I flushed cache and DNS, and on my Android tab I verified I have the most current OS and version of Chrome, and neither efforts made a difference.

Not on my Windows machine, and not that I know of on my Tab, unless they snuck one in there (you know how Samsun is). But, if anything, I would think my Google Pixel 8 would be the one to not work if it's related to a blocker, since Google is the captain of trying to protect Android users.

 

I'm pulling my hair out on my end trying to make sense of why that text function changes to the Attachment function on, not just one, but two completely different OSes!

 

If it helps any, when I click in the Reply box, I briefly get a "loading... " message, then the text field disappears, and is replaced by the Attachment / Add Files function.
