Workaround For Being Unable To Post Replies

[arKRazor]

For over 24 hours I have been unable to post to these forums due to a bug preventing the text boxes from properly displaying. A fellow Tenno has discovered the root cause but I figured I'd try to contribute to a solution. After poking around with things I didn't understand I managed to find a band-aid. 

Chrome Browser

I've created an imgur album viewable at http://imgur.com/a/RFoqw#0

EDIT: I have posted a more comprehensive album at http://imgur.com/a/QcOhX#0 that addresses likely issues at step 3 of my previous solution.

We've been receiving reports of players being unable to post in the forums. arKRazor's solution should fix the problem if you encounter this issue.

Have you updated your adblocker definitions recently?

 

Could be interfering with CDN changes.

Don't even have an adblocker (to the best of my knowledge.)

Thanks. I was wondering why the reply box suddenly disappeared.

[Kracken]

it happends when the site isn't loaded properly - best guess is to clear cache 

[Xekrin]

There is a problem involving javascript and chrome in that chrome no longer su ppors java.  This seems to be the cause.  For whatever reason it now hides this "element" (the editbox) and needs to be manually unhidden to reply.

 

I do not have adblocker, I do not use firefox, this is an issue with chrome

 

Its not the cache (I used incognito mode, no cache) and it still happens.

 

This is of course a guess, but since this is a java based editor, that's my best guess.  I don't know all the factors, just what's going on from my own experiences.

Yea I was wondering about this too. On my phone I can reply,which is what I'm doing, but it's horrible for long replies.

Might have to go back to firefox if I can't correct it.

[(XBOX)RaffArundel]

Uh, wow.

I just opened a ticket with Support about this. Curiously, I had tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge and none of them displayed this text box. No ad-block and everything else works fine.

It may be the new CDN - here is the error reported:

I've updated my original post to include a link to another album I have created after no longer being sleep deprived. It addresses inconsistency at step 3 and has additional steps with text.

It does fix it, but I sincerely hope you all are looking to find the underlying issue that caused this in the first place? It's a workaround fix, nothing more.

[rechot]

made a video cause im bad at following image instructions and it took me about 30 minutes to finally do this heres a video for those of you who are like me.

I am also having this problem. I have an open ticket about this already: #421444

 

Took me a few days to figure out how to do this in Firefox. This problem also persists in internet explorer as well, and i NEVER use IE. Only reason its on my pc is for emergency situations where i need to see if its a browser problem or not. Im pretty sure its the first time ive ever visited the warframe website with IE.

 

The steps are similar, and the lines are called something slightly different and located differently, but the process is the same.

I originally thought the problem was only with chrome because they no longer support java based scripts.  If this is not the case (or perhaps it is and is affecting all browsers, thus java's fault as well) then I dunno what could be causing this.  But somehow I doubt it is 

DE's fault nor will the solution be quick or easy as it will require a rewrite of all the code you see in the tutorials on how to work around the issue.

 

In short, this sucks.

[vincer77]

Yea I tried the work around, the span text section is not on mine at all. Yes I have looked carefully for longer then I care to admit :( That was on chrome, same thing on firefox. Phone texting to forums gives me

sad face :(

[OniDax]

I think it is a problem with DE's forums. I've had this problem on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and even my Android phone browser, and this only started happening after the server went down. And we have to do this every time we want to reply to a thread. So it's not even a permanent workaround. Please fix this. Preferably soon. Just don't brush it off or assume the problem isn't on your end, DE. It is.

It's not Adblock.

[-Axphyxia-]

Got same problem. But after doing this fix in all browers still cant make or reply. I'm texting from myphone.Fine and now just have to wait a new fix for PC

[(NSW)BlaineKodos]

Huh, well I'll be damned. I had to do so with Firefox which took a little doing but it works.

 

You are credit to team.

[-Axphyxia-]

I just found an* easy way, I just installed no script, and disabled java script it's working fine now.

For my part, I've seen this issue in Firefox, Chrome and Opera - on two computers.

 

Weirdly, Internet Explorer seems unaffected, although it's ultimately no better/faster than posting from a phone.

[Deviched]

Also having this problem where any post box will disappear: post, profile, etc, I ant do S#&amp;&#036; but be on mobile :(

[Rhundis]

I must be the only one who doesn't have this problem, "knocks on wood", I haven't had any issue on chrome on PC, Safari on tablet, and chrome on phone so it's a bit odd.

[(PSN)Viggorrah]

First time I've been able to post in days. Thanks.

[Snyphurr]

Using ScriptSafe on Chrome to block Javascript fixed it for me.
