Description of problem

I'm not exactly sure where to place this problem, but myself and other members on my site cannot seem to edit topics or posts. The permissions are, obviously, set to allow editing. However, when the edit button is clicked, it will redirect us to the page where the editing would normally be done, but the text box will flicker in, then out, and vanish. All other options are present except the text box. This problem persists on the three big browsers, too: IE, Firefox and Chrome.

Hello,

Do you have any CSS on your forum? Also do you have any background images in the the text editor?

-Brandon

Yes, we have CSS.
No, no background images.

Also, I've just got word that editing seems to work fine in Internet explorer. But I and others are having issues in Firefox, and I have less frequent issues, but issues nonetheless when I use Chrome.

May you post the css here so we can have a look?

Hello,

I don't if it will help you much (depends if you anything about css or code) but I put your css through a validator (which can be found here) and it came up with these errors: http://img.prntscr.com/img?url=https://i.imgur.com/hihy1Tp.png

If it's anyone who will more precisely be able to pinpoint the source of the problem it would be @Ange Tuteur or @_Twisted_Mods_

If that screenshot and results help you any, there they are.

Hi @killer9win1,

You have a questionable code in your stylesheet which attempts to remove the adverts by means other than those provided in the administration panel. Due to tampering with the adverts, failure to remove the code puts your forum at risk for termination, so I highly recommend that you remove it from your stylesheet.


This code is what's causing your editor probleme.

See you

Thank you very much!
I'm not the one who works with CSS on my site, but I've just let the person who knows more than myself know.

That's really useful information, thank you very much!
