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

Sorry mate, but you've asked some pretty simple tech questions before and then called out others when they've asked what you deem to be daft questions.  I'm not sure that it's on you to question the information I post when attempting to contribute to a neowin bug.

 

Everyone is on a learning curve, so before you are critical of others on that curve, take a moment to evaluate your position.

It's the cache you want to clear in Firefox, not the cookies.  I had the problem before clearing my cache, and haven't had it since doing so.

I'm a little late on this topic, however, I had this issue also. All I did was log out, then log back in, and everything was back to normal.

I'm having the same issue. I have to switch browsers and keep hitting refresh until it shows the text editor. very annoying.

Everyone thinks it is cache, but cached issues shouldn't go away and then come back later.

I cannot even reply on my phone anymore, even with clearing data and storage. It worked earlier but does not now.

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.

 

Things are improving, however, if I edit a quoted comment to remove parts I'm not replying to, BEFORE I type my reply, I can no longer type into the reply area below the quote.  Also, I can no longer split a quoted section.

 

Note: This only happens if I remove text at the bottom of the quote.

I had this problem earlier. Holding Shift while pressing F5 fixed it.

Splitting quotes started working today... Weird.

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?

 

Working great here for me. I can't believe how rude this comment is. First of all, Neowin is small. Secondly, they acknowledge the ipb4 upgrade was terrible NOT Neowin's fault, but IPB's. Third, the forums are faster, mobile responsive, and better looking. Lastly, they are doing everything they can to squash bugs.

1. Neowin is not small, not even remotely small.

2. IPB are at fault for releasing bug ridden software, Neowin are at fault for not testing properly before upgrading.

3. I find them no faster than before, either on desktop or mobile. If anything, the new script way of loading a page is infinitely worse as it totally screws over being able to go forwards/backwards through threads.

4. It wasn't rude, it was factual and called for considering the complete cluster frak the 4.0 upgrade was. They should have learned from that and had 4.1 under test for longer, with a wider range of users testing it.

The thing is, we even told them they needed to setup a test environment and invite everyone to test before deploying. They did not and here we are.

Anyone having this issue should clear cache and all Neowin related cookies, in most modern browsers you can now delete cookies by name, and not have to clear them all. It's possible things from the previous forum version are interfering with the updated forum version. Yes, this is an old site and we have a lot of old accounts, when software for the site is updated, we don't automatically update all of our clients cache and preferences

 

Help us out here by first doing the above steps and then report if still broke.
