    I know this belongs on the Help forum; I posted the same there this past Saturday, but didn't receive a reply. Figured more people would see it on this forum:

    I've been unable to reply to threads from desktop computer since Saturday afternoon. Wondering if I'm having a software issue. I can reply from my laptop, and from my desktop at work, but not on my desktop (all three computers are Dell). Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I've tried clearing the cache and rebooting, but that's not solving the problem.

    Thanks for any suggestions...

    If the mods need to see a screenshot of what I'm getting, please let me know where to email it, and I can send tonight when I get home from work.

    You can log on at home?

    Wow. Never heard of an issue like this one.

    Yes, I can log on, and can access everything on the site. Can click "like" on individual posts as well. When I try to reply, I'm getting a screen that I've never seen before and I'm unable to enter any text.

    Have you tried a different browser? I would do that first, just to narrow down the problem.

    Or, try changing the style sheet. Bottom left corner of the page. You are probably on the LSUTigers theme, try changing to the DEFAULT theme. See if it helps.

    Good point. I usually use IE, and will try Firefox tonight to see if it works. I'll post a reply here to update you. Thanks so much.

    If you are using Internet Explorer I had the same problem, switched to Mozilla Firefox and its fine.

    Great, thanks LaSalle! Sounds like IE could be the issue.

    I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I could reply through Firefox, but not IE.

    The next day, it wasn't a problem anymore.
