Unable to use tags in reply

So, when I reply to a post I cannot get any of the tags(quote, smilies, italic, etc.) to work. What’s the dealio?

They seem to work in IE, but not Firefox. I’m not sure why yet, but I’ll play around with it. Those features are all powered by embedded javascript, so there may be a browser setting that needs to be updated.

Aha! I got them to work in Firefox by going to Tools > Options > Content tab and unchecking Allow Javascript and clicking OK, then going back and re-checking it. Clicked OK again, then reloaded the page.

I’m using Firefox and didn’t have to uncheck anything.

Me no Firefox, me IE.

Well, the tools are working for some people but not me, hmm.

Good for you. It worked for me, so whatever.

Try a similar thing for IE. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security tab. Set the security level to Medium and click OK.

I’m having the problem, both in Firebird and Firefox. I tried Q.E.D.'s procedure on the javascript setting, but it didn’t fix it for me. On the display, I get the icon that would appear on the buttons, but the graphics that make it look like a button aren’t showing up.

Another thing you can try is dumping your browser cache. For IE, go to Tools > Internet Options > General tab and click the Delete button under Browser History. For FF, Tools > Options > Privacy Tabs. Click Clear Now and make sure at least Cache is checked on the next page, then click OK.

Q.E.D., clearing the cache worked. The buttons look a little strange, but they work. Thank you.

Test. :cool::D:eek:

That worked. Will I have to do it every time I log onto SDMB?

Probably not, but there’s one sure way to find out.
