Quick reply box greyed out on some pages. The links at the top right are still white when you hover over them.
Rogue duplicate posts is top of my 'to do' list as it annoys me too. I've done a bit of research but didn't come up with an easy and obvious answer.
I'll endeavour to work on it, and resolve it, this week.
I'll want a hug in return though.

Literally never seen a greyed out quick reply box but I'll check it out.
Are you talking about 'My profile' and 'settings' etc? Never noticed that before, but should be easy to fix.

I got it for the first time yesterday. It was definitely in the Quick Reply Box. (When I was actually replying to a post). I came out of my Browser (Chrome) and went in again a couple of minutes later. All fine.

Only happens once per ten threads (approx.). Not a massive problem but I wondered if other people had experienced it.
Yes.
Quick reply box.
I assumed it was thread specific as I usually get it on 'geeks'.
If I go off elsewhere and come back, it's usually fine, other than I've probably forgotten what I was going to type.
It's the last time I buy a pie from here.

Out of interest is the "Changes made in editor have not been saved, are you sure you want to leave this page" box a new addition? It doesn't seem to add much to the forum (most posts are short and can be rewritten if a page is re-loaded) and if the problems started around the time it was introduced it might worth disabling for a day or two to see if that's the reason.
I just get the, Are you sure you want to leave this page? after I post.

I get that too.

re duplicate post, i seem to avoid this by noticing that its asked "do you want to leave this page" which means the bug has triggered. clicking on "leave" avoids a dupe post. or else open in new tab the thread to see if post has been made, if so closing the old tab.
knowing my luck today, this post will now be duplicated....

I've turned off the auto-save thing.
Please report back if you get the 'Do you want to leave this page?' type message and/or a double post again.

No, seems fine now.

I'm actually very good at hugs.
It's annoying as there were no such issues before the change. If you manage to fix the duplicate posts thing, can the time between posts then be reduced?

I get this too, and when quoting someone. I then need to 'Go Advanced' to be able tot type a reply.
Do you have to try and work on fixing what you have, or is there an alternative (software solution)?
Thanks, that was another annoying 'feature'.

I've not had a problem with greyed out boxes.
I liked the auto-save function and the 'are you sure you want to leave' thing, because when I am trying to highlight some text I've written, if I miss the arrow key or something, it starts a search and I lose whatever I was writing.
