Shouldn't there be more than two of us bringing up this problem, then? We're not using uncommon browsers, after all.

Plus, you can replicate the problem by changing security settings, but I can't fix it even by turning off every security feature I can find.

It's frustrating.

I have what think is the same problem on Internet Explorer and Chrome: in the Standard Editor, the icons at the top of the edit box have stopped working. They're still displayed, but clicking on them doesn't do anything.

On Chrome and my Android 'phone, I have a further problem: the icons displayed next to thread titles for "Go to first unread post" don't work properly any more. When I use them, the thread loads into the browser, but does not scroll to the first unread posting.

Windows 7 Pro Service Pack 1, affecting:

Firefox 56.0 (64-bit)
Internet Explorer 8.0.7601.17514 (64-bit version)
Google Chrome 61.0.3163.100 (64-bit)
Apple Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) for Windows 7
Opera 47.0.2631.48

I also did not adjust any settings before the editor buttons/drop-lists went kaput. I only noticed the menus not working right when it was mentioned in this thread.


EDIT: Sincere thanks for trying to help, Anthony. Up to this point I was just about to chalk it up to Loki or Coyote taking an interest in me again. :)

Okay, I think turning on developer tools may have told me what's going on. If you check out http://forums.sjgames.com/clientscri...etin_global.js the javascript is obviously corrupted.
Code:

OK, I went through everything I have available on this machine and its attendant VMs. In some cases I checked for updates and tried it again.

Looking at this more thorough analysis, it's pretty obvious that it's only working in browsers where I've visited recently and the site has existing cookies and cache. Force-reloading didn't change anything either way, but after I cleared all browsing data on my phone I got the same failed site as in all the browsers where I haven't visited recently. Logging in afterwards didn't change anything on a quick test.

Browsing to http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?p=2126343 I get:

Call this a hunch, but I suspect that the issue described in this thread might be related to this issue.

EDIT: And roughly ten minutes after I posted that, I got hit by both that problem and this one - during the same login session where I didn't have the issues to begin with. Windows XP, Opera 36.0
