Refresh your browser a few times. It feels like a race condition, because it does not always happen.

[Boo Berry]

Yeah, this happened to me too after the upgrade. I cleared the cache and site cookies and all was well again.

Oooh

 

I had already tried deleting all the cookies to no avail, but the refresh browser thingy worked!

Congratulations on the upgrade, the forums are now even WORSE than before!

 

Either you can't reply, or if you quote and edit, and click submit, you get your post wiped and the error "This field is required".

 

Don't you lot ever actually TEST things?

Yes, and it's done it on 2 different PC's, too.

Issue with the browser? Are you using the same browser on each machine? What about any common extensions?

 

I'm on Chrome 44 with no extensions and I can't replicate the issue.

After clearing the browsing history/data/cookies, it works.

Chrome 44 with AdBlock & AdBlock plus installed. Neowin is whitelisted at home, but NOT whitelisted when I'm at work as I can't take the risk of iffy ads appearing when at work.

 

Note. The issue is intermittent. Sometimes it's fine.. others, it's not.

Try clearing your cache entirely, not just Ctrl+F5.

[MikeChipshop Member]

FFM, CTRL + SHFT + R always does a nice clean refresh for me. Fixed this issue up on the comps i was having an issue with.

[Torolol]

is there any "Post Preview" feature? its nice feature to have when you need to do lengthy posting because the reply box view span are very limited

Clear your cache. I had it happen to me. If you look into the posts under "Welcome to the new 4.1", you'll see the answers.

[xrobwx71]

Yep same here but after clearing the cache, fixed!

[cork1958]

Testing my replying ability!

 

Edit:

Yay, it worked!!

 

Like the fact that I'm able to login anonymously again!

Took 2 tries to login though.

 

Edit 2:

Site seems to be much quicker now also!!

Issue seems to be with the rich text control not loading properly.  It's hiding the input box/textarea, but not rendering itself.

 

CTRL+F5 sorted it, but when it did work, the first time it worked took about half a second to render and catch up with itself.

Any new major changes will require a few seconds of loading time. The cache needs to be refreshed, thus why the site runs smoother afterwards.

I know, I have been a web developer for over 15 years back and front end.  The time noted was noted because it's useful to know at what stage the lag is.

I feel this is one of the most ironic comments I've ever seen. Thanks for the chuckles, Nik.
