Thanks, but didn't seem to fix it :/

Only quick reply works.

FF 3.1 beta 1 for what it's worth!

Make sure that there is not an image blocker in Adblock Plus that is blocking anything on Newin. Also try it in safe mode, if everything displays OK then it has to be an extension causing it.

Seems like adblock plus is causing the issue for me.

Neowin is whitelisted though :/

Ok, I found what the problem was...Adblock Plus! I search for "neowin" in the filters, deleted it, and then applied the settings. Now, everything is back to normal. I wonder why that happened?

Thank all of you for the suggestions!

If you subscribed to one of those services could have done it or just plain FM.

Seems it's the subscription I have causing the issues :/ ( http://easylist.adblockplus.org/ )

Even although NW is whitelisted it causes the reply box issue.

Using the same subscription with Neowin whitelisted I don't have any issues with replying. Odd.

Are you sure that no other extension is interfering?

It's EasyElement causing the issues

http://easylist.adblockplus.org/easylist-element_rick752.txt

2. Add EasyElement

"the secondary subscription for removing text ads & leftover spaces"

You may not have subscribed to it, a lot of people just subscribe to the main list!

Just removed it for now, doesn't really bother me.

Don't understand why it would interfere though, I thought when you added a site to the whitelist it was void of all blocking?

Found the exact issue.

EasyElement for whatever reason actually has 3 entries from NW on the subscription :/

Those are

neowin.net#div(id=content-main-square)

neowin.net#div(id^=rev-)

neowin.net#div(style*=none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip:)

Disable them and everything works fine.

Going to send a message to the author or easylist asking why on earth they were implemented in the list?

It shouldn't even do the element blocking if the site is whitelisted :/

I was talking about this code:

neowin.net#div(id=content-main-square)
neowin.net#div(id^=rev-)
neowin.net#div(style*=none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip:)

Someone posted that, to prevent ads from appearing at the bottom of the page... he originally posted it for "Stylish", but I don't know how it slipped into Adblock Plus

But, AdBlock shouldn't apply those rules if the site is whitelisted.

At the moment, #element-hiding rules (like in the EasyElement) CANNOT be whitelisted in ABP.

This is a bug with Adblock Plus that was fixed in Firefox 2 ... but then was broken again in Firefox 3. The individual rule that causes the problem can easily be deactivated on the subscription simply by clicking the bullet after that particular string.

Another bug in ABP is that any active #element-hiding rules will only show up in the "Blockable items" window ONLY the first time you visit a site where that rule is used. Any other page on that domain will not show the same rule again (even though they still work). If you need to see what element rules are in effect on a page, just disable and re-enable ABP again (middle-click the icon) and they will re-appear at that point ... but only once.
