Thread: My PM's are acting weird...

When I try to send or reply to a PM, most of the time the box where you type the content is shaded grey and won't let me type. I can type in the subject line, just not in that lower content box.

Is this happening to anyone else or is there a known fix for it? Sometimes I can get it to work if I clear out my browsing history and refresh the screen, but that is working less than 50% of the time.

Thx,
Rob

Same thing happening to me. Tried to send one last night and never could get it to work.

It's good to have some company Hopefully there's a fix if it's a common problem.

I put a bug in Slabs ear about this.....he should chime in soon.

It may be an IE9 issue. I found this. The guy mentions a "Workaround", maybe someone having the problem can try it:

ok think I figured this out. It seems the toolbar setting is causing this problem for me. Why it seems to be user specific. If users got it set one way it work another way it doesn't.

Show Standard Editor Toolbar doesn't work

Show Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar works

This is the workaround I posted at my site.

Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous Options

Under Message Editor Interface:
Select: Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

Chime.....




Shane mentioned it to me earlier.

I've never seen the problem. For those that have seen the problem, chime in with what browser you are using please.

Had it happen to me some, not this week though. IE7

I'm on IE8

I did the change Slab posted and it seems to be working now:

Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous Options

Under Message Editor Interface:
Select: Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

easy fix . go down to bottom right corner as if you were going to enlarge the box . when it expands it will (box) will turn white and allow you to enter text .
