Anyone had this problem you open an image attachment but when you go back you cannot type in the reply box??
I can usually tell when there's a problem because "+1" appears in the top left corner.
Is this a known forum bug because I'm getting a little P'd off having to keep refreshing the page??

Can you point me to an attachment in a post where it happens Richard?
So I have to be replying to a post, then decide to look at the said image, then go back to the reply box, is that right?
Is your browser Firefox, and does it happen with another browser?
Also have you tried pressing the space bar where your cursor is in the reply box, then left-clicking and starting to type?
Why does this sound vaguely familiar to me? I've had moments where my blinking cursor line (to add text) has disappeared but I am still able to type & post. And I have seen a +1 somewhere before...maybe in the browser tab?
It's as if focus is taken away from the reply window after viewing the attachment. Sometimes pressing the space bar and moving cursor on and confirming with a left-click gets focus back.
I should have clarified this better but it's when I open photo attachments posted by other users that cause my typing problems.
It hasn't been just one post (like this) but several others ever since the forum software got recently updated.
The +1 appears to belong to some stupid Google intergration thingy I don't really understand - https://plusone.goog...pen%2C_resizeMe

I don't get anything like that Richard. Lets wait til others post here with their findings on this.
Do you use Chrome? (just trying to nail things down )
I get this when clicking on your +1 link. This is a forum upload link, do you get the same if it's hosted elsewhere e.g Pixpipline?
So did you install this add-on?

Nope the only plugins I have installed (apart from the defaults) are:
- Adblock
- DownloadHelper
- Mobile Barcode
- Modify Headers
- NoScript
- User Agent Switcher

The problem seems to be related to the fact that the edit window doesn't load when I hit browse back.
It appears to be working now that I've blocked https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js from loading.

.Possibly it's part of the new IP Board software update?
I'll check with admin just in case.
EDIT just seen your 2nd link, will still check with admin about this

Several times over the last year or maybe two I've had Firefox completely unwilling to type in a post for upwards of 1 to 2 minutes before, and of course it's usually when trying to help someone with some detailed instructions. I always thought it was some slow acting up JavaScript issue, and it has happened when posting on the community forum and in PM's.
I've had exactly that same effect Richard, with the +1 indicator in the same location.
I think I just reloaded the page to get around it, but the first thought I had was that selfsame +1 button has appeared recently on the end of google search entries, I think I was having a look at a new type of search. Google+ I think it's called, and the +1 is to share search links friends.
That's a bit vague, but the +1 isn't there normally, and it isn't now as I opted out of using it, but it's a bit much of a coincidence for it to be the exact button that appears in our messenger window.
It appears to be working now that I've blocked https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js from loading.
I blocked that long ago as a "My Ad Blocking Rule" in Adblock Plus, seems to fix some issues if it's blocked.

Concentration is particularly good today, I only missed the relevant content of 2 posts when I added #14.
Hi Guys, could any of you provide me with detailed steps to recreate because I have not observed this yet
The way to recreate the bug is pretty much the same as described in the post Google plus1 and editor not playing nice.
It's also been suggested that the problem can only be recreated using Firefox 3.6.x but not later releases of Firefox.

Can anyone confirm it happens only in old versions of Firefox?
You can still download the portable app version of Firefox so it doesn't conflict with any existing copies of Firefox.
Perhaps you could check this bug yourself??
