Problem when writing to a forum (version1.2)

I cannot see this writing space in forums, and in some of the other modules.

Hi, tormod. Can you please provide more information about your setup and perhaps provide a link? In the past there have been two reports about a completely missing text-editing area in some pages but I've never got to the bottom of it.

Tormod, if you hit the refresh button on your browser, do you get the text editing area?

yes, it help most of the time if I hit the update buttom. The strange thing is that I have another - labtop hooked on the same server - and here I find no problems.

Thanks

Yes, I think this behavior is browser-based, rather than server based. Do you have an older IE browser running on the one that needs the manual refresh? (sorry, I don't know anything about versions of XP IE)...

Yes - i think that you are right. It has something to do with the browser.

I am running IE 6.0. and I always keep it updated. I am running the server i Fedora.

Tormod, do you have a firewall on the faulty computer? What type is it?

Try switching it off temporarily and see if that helps.

Hi Martin

I am using Zonealarm. I tried to shut it down, but it did not seem to help. I can live with it.

Hi Martin

I am running IE and xp on the PC where the failure occours. On my labtop that runs linux and Konqueror I have no problems.

One more thing. I don't know if it means anything, but on my labtom I see the tiny moodlesymbol in the adress line. It is not there on my pc running IE.

I am wery satisfied with Moodle and I am starting using i right now.

Thank you - to all of you that are doing such a great job developing Moodle. I would like to help with the danish translation when I have starting using the program a little more.

Its fantastic that one can get such a program for free. We don't have much money in the teaching field.

Thanks Tormod

Hi,

We are experiencing the same problem and in the last day, or two I have pretty much been able to verify that it has to do with our internet filtering program-Cybersitter. When it is disabled, the textarea and toolbar shows up fine. ( http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=6033 )

Thanks.
