Just upgraded one of our boards to Release Candidate and one of our moderators is complaining they can't post. They kindly got back to me with some pretty decent information... I hope maybe someone can help fix this problem. It seems to be a bug, even though devs have said these WebTV have all been fixed now in RC2.
---
I checked the Client Version, and it says
it's " 2.8.1 External NonDebug"
Unfortunately, I can't do anything at all in regard to upgrades. I'm
stuck with with whatever the current browser version is. And I don't
have the alternative of using a computer.
I had this problem once before, and they had to change something to
allow me to post. The "send" button on the email contact works, as did
the "save changes" button in the user CP under Edit Options. And I was
able to log in okay. So whatever is different in those buttons, and the
ones that don't work (reply, or sending PM's or saving editing changes)
might provide a clue.
I don't get an error message. With WebTV, we don't have a cursor like on
computers. It outlines the desired link/button with a yellow box. When
we click on it, the box turns green, then it does whatever it's supposed
to do. With the buttons that aren't working, when I clck, it does
nothing. The box blinks, then stays yellow. This indicates script
incompatibility. Whatever code is attached to the button doesn't work
with WebTV. It might be some recent type of javascript (WebTV is only
compatible with javascript up to a certain level, and we're not
compatible with Java at all. I can't view Java Applets on this thing,
for example).
I have been able to log in (after clearing cookies), and send changes to the user CP, as well as send this form. But I can't reply (in any of the formats), send a PM, or edit, as noted above. So whatever is different in the submission of the latter functions from the former is what's causing the problem.
I hope the info is of some help.

FYI... we upgraded from beta 5 to RC2 so changes from those two stages have affected this WebTV user.
