Unable to edit posts after forum move?

    Is it only me, or are these general issues after the forum transfer? After pressing edit, I get a blank box without any text - pressing more options loads a new window that has the text loaded however. Tried on several computers with the same results.

    Hm, I hadn't noticed that. Not that I've tried editing posts since we moved the forums. I'll take a look at it.

    Okay, I get a message saying "The time limit to edit this post has expired."

    I'm thinking the old system's clock was set in CST, while the new system is set in UTC. I'm betting the forum software thinks the post is several hours old the instant you post.

    That wasn't it. That was a bad permission setting that only affected Blue Manchu, and not most users. After changing that, it seems to work okay for me on Chrome.

    Do you see any javascript console errors or anything?

    Just edited a post form July 2011 without issues, using Chrome Portable.

    Can't see any errors - clicking the link and selecting "open in new tab" works. Seem's it's the popup causing this? Both computers just updated to Firefox 23.0 - THAT might be the issue.

    I see exactly the same issue after updating to Firefox 23.0; I just tested Firefox 21.0 without a problem and upgraded, now I see the blank box until clicking "More Options".
