Quick reply doesn't work (FireFox)

Hi Guys, The quick reply feature doesn't seem to work with FF after the upgrade. It works fine in IE. As best I can tell, the relevant errors are: I'll take a quick look here and see if I can track it down for yis :)

Weird.

Seems to be weird vBulletin 3.0 -> 3.5 upgrade thing, I've seen it on other sites as well. It always seems to mysteriously resolve itself. Probably a cache thing.

Aye, that sounds like the most probable cause. vB 3.0 and 3.5 probably use the same name for the vbulletin_quick_reply.js file, but changes have been to it and vB in the upgrade, so anyone using the cached version of vbulletin_quick_reply.js will receive javascript problems until they refresh it.

Good thinking Batman!

A minor (and vaguely related) niggle: the Quick Reply section of the page doesn't have the wee button to shrink it out of the way. I generally keep it collapsed until a Quick Reply button makes it visible.

It's because the vB3 javascripts have been cached by your browser. Hit CTRL+F5 if you're having this problem.

As a rule, if you have any problems with vB3.5 you should do the following, in this order:

1. Hit CTRL+F5 to hard refresh cached content.
2. Clear your cache. Google "clear cache" for instructions for your browser.
3. Clear your cookies. Ditto above.

Thank christ for the upgrade. I've been running 3.5 on my sites for a couple weeks and posting here without the AJAX stuff was becoming a right pain in the hole.

Super-quick reply, eh?
I never understood why on boards.ie you had to click on the icon in someone else's post as opposed to just typing in this here box and hitting send.
