    Default Grey Screen no can post replies!

    Have an ongoing problem that needs solving. It does not happen all the time but it is now approaching the realms of the bloody ridiculous.

    Many times now on trying to reply to a thread, the response box where one types the story is shaded grey, and there is no cursor in that box.

    So no white screen = no post.

    Can this be fixed?

    Additionaly some threads just refuse to load text, damn fine at loading the Woolies adverts but without the text of the thread it is pretty damn useless.

    This happens to me often as well. Usually a case of refreshing the page (ctrl+F5 refresh is better than refresh button) or reloading the page entirely fixes it. Sometimes might take two tries to do it. I've noticed the issue in both Chrome and IE.

    If you hit "Go Advanced" and it takes you to a new page, I notice if it was grayed out before, it usually is under the advanced page as well.

    The page refusing to load is semi related to the adverts. If you become a paid member it doesn't happen. Since my membership lapsed I occasionally use an ad blocker (would prefer Toymods to have ad revenue but other sites it's more an issue) and I noticed it doesn't happen as often.

    Same just happening here to me. Had to go "advanced" to post this. No ability to reply to other posts.

    Will see what we can do to get it looked at. I've seen it before as well.

    Unrelated issues. I mentioned I believe the issue with pages not loading fully has to do with the ads. The greyed out box issue happens regardless.

    I have had it happen quite a number of times myself too, I thought it was a bug in my computer, glad to hear its not ? also sometimes when I open up a page to read it & all it has is the Heading title to the thread but no other Text is visible, I also have found refreshing it seems to work most times, better now as I just refresh the page, before I used to get out of the page & come back & that was a pain as it had to do it a few times on some occasions ..

    This issue seems really bad as of late & pages refusing to load as well, its really really bad & certainly something to piss one off too ..
