Posting a new message to Hobby Box

Hi!

I went into the Guilty Pleasures:TV board and tried to post a message, but the drop downs for the Hobby Box category don't appear. Therefore, I cannot select the TV board.

No rush.

I just looked, and the same goes for the other three boards' drop down menus. It's only Letterbox Central that has a drop down menu.

How bizarre. I tried it on my development machine and it worked fine. So I tried it on the live site. It didn't work. But not seeing anything wrong with the code, I put some debugging information in, and uploaded it check out the results--and it worked! The bizarre part that I didn't fix any of the code--I just added debugging info. So I took out the debugging info, uploaded the file, and it worked.

Bizarre, but for whatever reason, it seems to work now. =)

Regarding the inability to post new messages to the Guilty Pleasures: TV board, I'm still unable to get that second drop-down menu. Additionally, it defaults back to the Letterboxing Central menu even if you hit the Post New Message button from within the Guilty Pleasured board. I probably should have mentioned that sooner too.

Sorry I'm so annoying.

Hmm.... This seems to only be happening for IE browers. FireFox it works fine. (But of course!) =)

It may take a bit more time to figure out what's going on here--the code seems to be perfectly correct, so I fear it might be a browser bug that I'll have to figure out a way to work around. In the meantime, it's not such a bad idea to upgrade to FireFox. It really does rock! ;o)

I even added some FireFox ads to the banner lineup, though premium members won't see it. Hmm.....

Lemme put some links on the main page of the Marketplace. It's free, but I'm not sure where else to put it. *frown*

As a disclaimer: Google will pay me a buck for every person that installs and runs FireFox through the link--but I've been promoting FireFox LONG before they started doing that! =) The FireFox and AdSense banners are only new as of this morning! FireFox really is a not-notch browser.

In fact, I use FireFox for most of my browsing and testing--which is why I tend to overlook IE-related problems on AQ.

I will get the problem fixed, but this one might take some time to get right.

I've been hearing about FireFox for a while now, and I've been thinking about checking it out...and hey, if they're gonna pay you a buck if I do, heck yeah! Show me the link!


And I've been a Premium member for a month now...and until you mentioned it just now, I had completely missed the fact that all the ads are gone now! Wow!

Totally cool.

This from the guy who likes to notice "details". *rolling eyes* =)

The FireFox and AdSense links are on the main page of the Marketplace now--at the bottom. Just click the Marketplace menu option to get there.

I may have been a premium member before the ads existed because I don't recall EVER seeing them. I may have to log out just to see what they are all about...
