Bug Problem Using Site In Firefox

[HappyAtLast]

I solely use Firefox, but today I'm having problems on the site. I had to go to IE to post this. There is no reply box. The search box will not expand to show options. There's even a strange screen that comes up when I want to "like" a post saying, "Are you sure you want to like this post?"

No reply box


Weird "like" screen


Search box won't expand for options

I'm having the same problems, plus Spy also isn't working for me on Firefox. I had to post in Chrome.

I will let Nikos know, thanks for the screen shots.

I only use Firefox too-- but not having any problems. I have lots of adblocks and other blocking applications on my Firefox, by the way. It has always said, "are you sure you want to like this post" for me. Hope the other stuff gets fixed for you all.

I use Adblock and other add-ons too, but never had issues (or that confirmation screen for likes.) I just updated Firefox and rebooted my computer but still have the same issues.

having the same issues with Firefox....cannot add comments, or make new posts, cannot add replies. I am using AdBlock. When I take off adblock, I am able to properly use the site, but the ads are annoying. *sigh*

The connection seems to be Adblock. So I opened LHCF, went to the Adblock red stop sign icon in my toolbar and chose "disable on longhaircareforum.com" When I did that, I refreshed my screen (F5) and then closed LHCF. When I opened it back, I had all functionality back on LHCF as before (and no "like" confirmation screen.) I guess Adblock was getting hung up or something. I'm typing this using Firefox now.
I re-enabled Adblock on LHCF without problems.

Thanks I will disable my adblock for this site and report back.

Thanks.

I don't use FF, I am having the issues in Chrome. I'll disable my adblock in Chrome and see what happens.

Anyone else start seeing links show up in posts and they go to ads to when you click on them? I'm seeing it in Chrome. At first people were complaining about it but it was a problem on iPhones only, or so it seemed. Do not like or want.

ETA: Regarding the OP, I only had problems with that confirmation screen when I liked a post. I didn't have the other problems mentioned in the OP.

I've been getting those links ever since they revamped the website. Some days, though, it seems like I get more links than other days. IDK.

LHCF started acting up again with Firefox, so I disabled Adblock for LHCF only and it's back to working. I guess I'm going to have to keep it off for this site (because I hate IE.)

I was experiencing the same issue since yesterday, but solved the problem by updating Firefox. As soon as I did that I was able to see the reply box again.

 

[HappyAtLast]

My Firefox forced an update today so I decided to try the site again with Adblock re-enabled and everything seems to be back to normal.

eta... well, scratch that. Firefox is back to acting a darn fool with Adblock re-enabled.

@HappyAtLast I will notify Nikos, but I use Firefox as my default browser to view this site on my personal laptop (no ad block) and my work computer (with ad block) and have no issues. I believe there is some type of unique setting on your particular laptop, and it will be very hard for us to figure out. In the meantime I suggest for you use Internet Explorer to view this site.

I'm on my Android phone using Chrome browser and I do not have Adblock on my phone, but when I tried to "like" your post, I got the confirmation screen. That has never happened on my phone before.

 

[tenjoy]

Is this fixed? Confirming a "like" sooooooo annoying! It would be useful for instagram though

 

[FlowerHair]

Yeah, it happens to me too sometimes.

I am also having issues with this site...I am unable to send PM, start a thread etc....I don't know what to do, I really need to start a thread!

Ladies

I posted a reply with a small screencast on my findings about the confirmation window you see when clicking "Like". In short your browser is not allowing the javascript on the site to run (the language/part of the site that allows asynchronous calls with the server).

You can check the post here: https://longhaircareforum.com/threads/user-experience-and-javascript.773321/

 

[beverly]

The short answer is to disable ad block for this site only and you will not experience a problem with the like function and enable Java Script
