Reply Not Available with Firefox

The Reply button on forum postings is not available for me when using Firefox. At first, I thought it was AdBlock Plus. But, even with AdBlock Plus disabled, reloaded forum pages had no Reply button.

Thanks,

Drew

    Drew,

    Is the Reply box missing on all threads?

    Are you certain that you are logged-in?

    I do not use FireFox, so cannot test what you are seeing, and am only thinking here.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    I was trying for the last 40 minutes to post a question... Frustration had almost driven me from the forums, when I read this thread and realised what was wrong.

    I was sure I had logged in to the support site, and the top of the screen said "Welcome, Keith"... so I believed I was still logged in.

    But I could not see any "Reply" button...

    It seems that despite being logged in once to the Support site, I needed to log in a second time to the Forums. As you can see, I can now reply and post.

    K.

    I just tried to test your forums-signed-in/out theory... I can't see where to sign out!

    I can say, that I am signed in and I do see the reply buttons.

    Thanks,

    Could you reply back with a screenshot showing the problem?  (sorry, couldn't resist)

    It's probably not this, but perhaps you're looking for a big REPLY button (like in the first post) in the later posts, and missing the little (inconsistent UI feature) "reply" text link at the bottom right of messages?

    I use SeaMonkey and FireFox both and don't have the problem.

    Lots of people use Firefox, me included, and do not see this problem.  Or at least no

    one has reported it.

    You will not see a reply button if you are not logged in.
