Unable to use Standard Editor Options
All of a sudden, both Firefox and Chrome are unable to use the "Standard" editor options for making posts on this forum.
In futile attempts to fix this, I've restarted the browser, I've tried other browsers, and I've restarted the whole blasted computer. I've gone into the User Settings and changed it from the Standard Editor to the Basic Text Editor and back to Standard. (It seems the BBCode still works if I add it in manually...) Is it me, or are there others having this issue? Any workarounds that don't have me changing browsers?

Re: Unable to use Standard Editor Options
Using Opera here, and having no issues with the standard editor. I'd have to set up a laptop to try anything else right now.

Seems my next step is uninstalling and reinstalling all four plus Opera. :(

Re: Unable to use Standard Editor Options
I'm having similar issues, also on Firefox (v56, 64-bit).
I also can't access any of the pop-up menus that I believe use javascript, such as Forum Tools and Thread Tools. Clicking on one of those just jumps me to the bottom of the page, instead of opening the menu. ETA: This does not seem to be happening to me on the RPGnet forums, just here. I don't visit any other forums enough to compare.

Re: Unable to use Standard Editor Options
Might look at the page source to see if something is eating the javascript. For example, the thread tools link to me looks like:
HTML Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap"> <a href="/showthread.php?t=152052&nojs=1#goto_threadtools">Thread Tools</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadtools"); </script> </td> |

Re: Unable to use Standard Editor Options
Interesting. I see that there are Forum Tools and Thread Tools items at the bottom of the page, which may be why I'm now being sent down there when I click on those links. But they used to be menus.... And the editor icons still don't work.
ETA: I should say, those items at the bottom of the page appear to be inserted after I click those 'menu' items at the top of the page. They aren't there before that.

Re: Unable to use Standard Editor Options
Turning on my script blocker replicates that behavior, it's normal for disabled javascript. The question is why it's being disabled. Possibly some trusted sites setting is new?
