When I go to a thread in Firefox, the post reply button is missing. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

I had to open up IE to get any of them to show up. I don’t like IE.

Am I the only one this is happening to? Can anyone else post from Firefox?

FF 2.0.0.17 here, and I’ve got no problems.

Works fine for me on Firefox 3.0.3, via Windows Vista Home.

FireFox 3.0.3 – if you can see this, then it’s posting 🙂

Wah! I’ve got Firefox 3.0.3 (I think) since I just checked for updates and there weren’t any and I still can’t see a reply button on the screen from there.

OK, I’m going to reload Firefox from the website and see what happens. I’ll be back in a bit.

OK, fixed now. I figured out what I did.

:o

I blocked images from the website since I was getting ads when I wasn’t getting ads before. Evidently, the post reply button is an image. :smack:

Thanks everyone!

Mods, please close this now. I get mocked enough as it is. 😛

I replied from IE.
