[Problem posting using Firefox]

[Wiganken]

Note to the forum website designers: -
Has anyone noticed that this Androidcentral website is very clumsy. I can't use it with Firefox browser v101.0.1. I have to use Vivaldi and even then it is clumsy. In order to post new posts I have to log out and then back in again before I can see the box where I can input text.

I created a new thread in the Site Feedback forum for this post, which was originally a reply to another thread.

I assume you're talking about the mobile Firefox browser app, and not the desktop browser, correct? Can you show us a screenshot of the problem? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html

Thanks. No, I am talking about the Windows Firefox. Regarding showing a screenshot I will take the following steps to do this: -

a) I am currently signed in and replying to you and can see the 'REPLY' button at top right of screen.
b) After posting this post I will close this web page and I should 'Stay signed-in'.
c) Hopefully you will reply but please note that I am not getting emails notifying me that I have replies so I will keep looking to see if you have replied.
d) When I see your reply I will check that I am still signed in and I will hopefully see the 'REPLY' icon.
e) If it is not there I will take a screenshot and will then have to sign out and then back in again in order to see it. At this point I will then be able to post the photo showing the absence of the REPLY button.

I'll post this now and await your reply.

It might be a problem between the site and Firefox. Does this also happen in Chrome or Microsoft Edge? Firefox uses a different engine than Chrome and Edge, so there's always a possibility of glitchiness.

The problem seems to have gone now. I have tried this thread using both Vivaldi and Firefox on my Windows 11 PC and both work okay now.

I see that you have created a new thread in the Site Feed back forum and I wonder if this fixed the glitch?

I say this because I had the same issue (Unable to see the 'Reply' button) with another website yesterday and the Moderator had to move the thread to another board and (coincidentally?) this fixed it. They didn't move the thread in order to fix it. They moved it because it was posted on the wrong board but, as a bonus, it solved the issue. Wierd!

Ah -- it may be that your thread was showing up in the Q&A format, which doesn't allow any replies for some unclear reason. Was the thread title in much bigger font? If so, then you can get back to the normal format by deleting everything at the end of the URL up to but not including "html".

If you see the problem again, show us a screenshot, and we can tell you if it's the Q&A format issue.

I don't know if the thread title font was larger and I don't understand your text "you can get back to the normal format by deleting everything at the end of the URL up to but not including "html"." but that's okay so no need to explain further. The issue is solved now and I'll try to remember your suggestion re the Q&A format issue.

Thanks for the explanation.
