I can't edit....

I think they were screwing around with the site again yesterday afternoon; my page went back to BBS mode for a while.
Sometimes I can get a cursor in this text box, sometimes I have to reset a time or two. Same thing with PMs.

+1 here...quite a few times I have had to go out of the thread and return then I can edit, otherwise the box goes blank. I thought it was just me.

I was having an issue quoting....I posted it somewhere...I FORGET :)
When I would hit the quote button a gray screen would come up that I could not type into....

I cannot edit either. when clicking on edit, it brings up a "reply" box but says edit at the top. there is noting in the box for me to edit. when I type in something and hit submit, it takes me back to the post with nothing changed or added. I am using XP SP2 with IE8.
There is a reason why no one uses this message board system you know.

Oh, I was just saying what programs I was using in case it was a browser issue. I can edit using chrome an another computer that has vista installed.

SWF.com this is getting crazy.
Daily i post huge posts that don't show up and are just gone.
The edit feature only works about one out of every 10 times
the paste feature works but you have to click like 5-7 times to get it to give you the option to paste.
Holy cats is this getting annoying.
I just wrote an Essay on turf scrubbers, looked at the reply box to make sure all the icons were there (this has been a sure fire sign of failure in the past when they weren't)
everything looks good and I post and poof, its gone.
I should have coppied it before i posted :(
But that's besides the point, it shouldnt have to be this hard to post a message.

as far as editing goes, if you F5 (refresh) the page, it will let you edit the post without a problem. As far as copy and paste goes, if you ctrl+c and ctrl+v for this instead of the right mouse button, it works without issue.
yes, i am a keyboard fanatic and do not rely on my mouse for anything. When the mouse was invented, it gave me a line of work because even completly moronic people could now work a computer without having to memorize the specific commands in DOS or Unix.
Dont know if SWF.com can get out of it or not, but there is a reason why no one uses the huddler message board system .

Huddler is aware of this issue and is working on a solution. It appears to be based on Internet Explorer. I apologize for the inconvenience and we hope to have this issue resolved soon.

Scott,
I was going to mention that I tried it on another internet program todaya nd didn't have any problems. IE does appear to be responsible in some way.

If definately IE. If I want to edit, I run upstairs to the PC that has Google Chrome and make my edits.... and then run back downstairs....
Maybe Richard Simmons is behind all this and wants me to shed a couple.

Well, it was working swimmingly for quite some time there (Except for the edit feature)
Then yesterday it started all over again, can't post, can't look at my older threads (just keeps bringing me back to the top of the page)
This is all with IE
I'm on mozilla right now posting this, but I'd much rather use IE, I wonder if everyone is having these problems again?
