Quick reply glitches

MTK358 · 04-27-2010, 03:10 PM

This happens in Midori and Uzbl, but not in Firefox, Konqueror, and Chromium:

When you click "Post Quick reply", instead of posting the reply and returning to the thread, it posts the reply and goes to Advanced Mode, with a warning that you tries to post twice in a row in less than 10 seconds.

Also, when you click Edit, it just hangs with the spinny icon next to the button, clicking Edit again goes to Advanced Mode.

Anyone?

No doubt its a bug in the browser and not LQ.

I'm just curious why this doesn't happen in other forums?

It hasn't happened to me and I often use Quick Reply.

Sorry -- missed that part of the OP. Firefox only so no help.

I've tracked down a few cases where a site was not working with Firefox ("IE is the only browser" mentality), and I have gotten a few sites to fix their issues.

Getting a webmaster to test against things like Midori or uzbl might be a stretch...

To me, the only hope is standards---are those browsers following the w3c standards?

Well, they both still have a long way to go until they reach version 1.0. That might be the problem.

Both Midori and Uzbl are based on WebKit. Coincidence? I think nots. Then again, Google Chrome is based on WebKit too.

LQ does work in a variety of WebKit-based browsers. I'll try to test Uzbl and Midori to see if I can spot any obvious issues, but unfortunately it's not possible to test and support every available browser.
