NAS Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Over the last two days I've experienced some strange behaviour when making posts. Attempts to insert url links and pictures seemed to in effect delete all subsequent text, and today just putting in carriage returns seemed to insert double line returns and ignore the following text in preview. Is this a site issue or is my browser doing something strange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_K Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Fine for me, what browser do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes wonder if all the checkers and filters interfere. Popup blockers seem to interfere with online functions sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We installed an update, your browser might have cached the old javascript.[/quote] Many thanks phatmonkey - I think this might have worked!

ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I did try it a while back but uninstalled it because the new updated firefox said something to the effect that it was redundant with the new release. I will try it again and see.... Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok I have added Noscript and Facebook loads although some images people have posted do not want to load. Still can't make new threads here or see the google picture either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 NoScript is good, but it helps if you set the "temporarily allow top level sites by default" option. This means that scripts work on the site you went to, but 3rd-party scripts are blocked unless you allow them. Then (in general) you're only at risk if you go to dodgy sites that run nasty scripts themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The only problem now seems to be that I cannot post new threads here! It is OK on Talkbass. The Google picture still wouldn't load but now it is ad-blocked anyway so maybe that was covering up the problem rather than facing it head on. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok now on facebook it only shows a few pictures per image gallery. Many just show as small blank boxes. I thought I could update Java to the new version (intentionally running older version 5 because 6 is incompatible with Line6 Edit) but it can't connect to the thingy to download the bugger.

ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Java now updated and still same probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Java, as in Java Runtime Environment? Didn't know there were any Java apps on this site - it's not to be confused with JavaScript at all, there's no connection between the two. With NoScript, can you see the icon at bottom [s]left[/s] right? If you click it, you can see the script sources that are and aren't blocked. basschat.co.uk should be Permanently Allowed, obviously.

Buzz Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Really odd, tried re-installing FF over the current one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Chaps Thank you ever so much for this late night help. Now then, a little update... I ran Chkdsk just for fun as I know I have updated everything on my computer, I look after it very well and keep it all tip top. Well. I started scanning the D: (second partition to my main disk) and it stopped half way. getting annoyed, I took out the battery and restarted, only to find upon launching firefox that the default skin had loaded with most of my add-ons loading in new tabs and items like Foxytunes moved to their default positions. A quick check showed everything is now working fine - I moved everything around and it is still now fine. (touches wood) I will keep you up to date, but really have no idea what happened there. I was literally JUST about to do a system restore on the badboy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what Buzz meant.[/quote] Yes, Whoops, I forgot to continue with the answers and questions. It was: Have you got NoScript/Adblock installed, if Yes, make sure the sites you want to have access are allowed access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi chaps, Computer folk had a quick look today and haven't worked it out yet. Funny you should say TURN OFF noscript etc as the sites only work with it turned ON! Very random. I will have it back tomorrow morning so lets hope they fix it, or it goes out of the window (or through theirs) ta ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) [quote name='phatmonkey' post='75262' date='Oct 16 2007, 08:47 PM']Turn off Noscript, it's going to cause more problems. I think that's what Buzz meant.[/quote] Any "problems" I've seen with NoScript are the result of it doing its job, actually. Back on pg 1 I recommended setting the "temporarily allow top level sites by default" option: that way, sites that rely on their own JavaScript work straight away, but all those 3rd-party scripts that people stick on their sites are blocked by default. Examples: basschat.co.uk's scripts work straight away, and googlesyndication.com is in the default "whitelist" that comes with NoScript, and I've had no problems here at all. So, please stop telling people to turn NoScript off: it's not the problem if you configure it correctly. I consider it [b]essential[/b] these days, along with AdBlock, FoxMarks, and DownThemAll. I have absolutely no sympathy for site designers who just insert scripts from any old source, slowing everything down and cluttering up the screen: what if you are on a browser that doesn't do JavaScript at all? (They do exist you know, e.g. smartphones, and smart service providers like Google do accommodate them.)
