Re: Preview button doesnt work

This has happened to me before when I’m posting on other computers. However I’ve yet to experience this problem on my own computer at home. I really have no idea why. It’s really weird.

I agree ... it is weird. Doesn't happen to me, so very hard to fix.

Anyone else get this? Some common reason?

Also bear in mind that we will be upgrading to FluxBB 1.3 (http://fluxbb.org/) currently in Beta2. I want to wait until at least Beta3 before upgrading.

Re: Preview button doesnt work

I believe I have a theory on why the preview button sometimes misbehaves.

It could be a browser issue. Right now I am on my friend’s computer; she uses an outdated version of Internet Explorer (IE6) and preview keeps messing up.

I don’t have this problem on my home computer. At home, I have IE7 – but I don’t even use that nowadays. Instead, I have been using Firefox 3 – which is infinitely better than IE. (And mind you, as a mathematician I do not use the term “infinitely” lightly. )
