I've been randomly encountering a bug when trying to post a message in the forums.
It makes things such that you can only press the 'reply' button for other users' messages to quote their messages, as using the multiquote option stops working.
Adding trouble to that, is the fact that once the message is typed out ... it refuses to be posted, no matter how much you click the 'post' button, it won't work.
Simply moving back and forth between sections to 'refresh' the tab does not work, either.
Reloading the firefox tab itself does not work as well, I have to force it by closing the tab itself.
Only then, after opening the site with a fresh tab does the message box returns to its normal functionality.
I'll leave it here in case other users have encountered this issue. It did not happen to me with the old XF1, if that is useful in any way that matters.
It could also be a firefox issue on my end--it is the last functional one for windows XP. If that is the issue? Well, I figure that it'll solve itself once I have a newer OS if not a beefier PC at hand.
Edit: Strangely enough, the issue occurred as I tried to post this message and kept on loading forever after pressing 'Post' without updating.
It is only after closing the tab, opening a new one, and re-entering the site that I found that my post was already online.
Quite strange, considering that it is an issue that is recent. Perhaps a component of the forum's inner workings is causing issues?
