    Brief Description: Every time I try and edit a thread or a post, I'm met with a white screen where my post should be. I have to click "More Options" to get the editing screen to come up.

    Instructions: 1. Make post/thread. 2. Try to edit post/thread. 3. Get white screen. 4. Click "More Options" 5. Be able to edit post/thread.

    How many times did you recreate this bug?: Dozens and dozens over the past week or two.

    Result: White blank area where editing box should be.

    Expected Result: Be able to see post in editing box.

    Evidence: I cannot post screenshots from the forums, test it out and tell me if it does the same. I know D0rc mentioned he had this problem in a thread earlier.

    Yeah, MoofinK and D0rc seem to have problems with this, although it works perfectly fine for me. Possibly because the forum is outdated (That's what MoofinK said) is why it's not working for you guys, because your browsers are updated past a further version, whilst mine isn't or something. I believe in general Andrew might just have a bunch of updates to get at, but never got to them. Might also be a bug with what type of browser you use. Do you use Google Chrome, IE, Opera, Firefox, etc.? I use Google chrome, although I'm not sure about MoofinK and D0rc.

    I use Firefox, but I haven't had any problem with this before the last few weeks.

    My browser automatically tells me if there are updates, I would have noticed.

    Andrewkm / KHobbits have already been poked about there being updates. Whether they noticed that they were poked/messaged is another story. As well, if they even plan to push the updates any time soon is something else entirely.

    It is probably something with specific browser and specific updates. I know some people have no problems, while others do, and some people have completely different problems than others.

    Once one thing updates, another will always have to update with it to stay completely compatible.

    Best bet is to downgrade your browser, use a different one, or wait for Andrew/KH to push the forum update.
