Mac User Issues

[jucs]

My mod who uses a Mac cannot now use the moderator functions. I just upgraded to 3.04.

Here's the browser:

Camino (a Mac browser made by Mozilla)

This was not an issue before.

Any ideas why this is?

Thanks.

"How" cant he use the moderator functions and which ones?

[Stadler]

Did he turn off Javascript? Some of the moderating-tools don't work, if JS is turned off. See Bug #2664.

More info as I get it on the mod functions. But, here's an update from the user:

The problem happened when the board was upgraded from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4. I changed no settings on Camino. Yes, javascript is enabled. Here's what I can't do in Camino:

1. Post to threads. I just get a beige box.

2. Edit posts. I get that same beige box when I hit the edit button.

3. I cannot send PMs (beige box problem)

Have him change to the standard editor

[jucs]

What the heck is a "standard editor"? Why did Camino work beautifully in 3.0.3 and why does it barely work in 3.0.4?

[theArchitect]

If he goes into his User CP Options he can select the standard editor instead of te WYSIWYG editor.

I have just run a test on Camino and the WYSIWYG doesn't work but the standard editor does.

Basically the standard editor uses a text box, while the WYSIWYG uses a div tag masquerading as a text box. I know a number of browsers (mostly Mac) that don't work with the WYSIWYG editor. As far as I can tell (though I am no expert) no changes have been made to the WYSIWYG editor in 3.0.4 or 3.0.5.

Are you sue he has not just decided to start using the WYSIWYG editor?

Scott added it in 3.0.4. However I noted that it was broken and reported it as a bug in 3.0.4 however it wasn't fixed in 3.0.5.
