admin: something's afoot with the forum software?

Noticed this morning, while trying to highlight and move a string of text, it activates postimage logo and the text cannot be moved. Is the software 'seeing' reply box text as a jpeg for some reason?
Someone else please try it and see if the problem appears.

Did it in the Quick Reply and the Post Reply boxes and it does like GB says. When I release the left click the Postimage goes away, but text does not make the the change.

Not doing it here. I can go into a thread, copy a string of text and move it to the Post Reply box without triggering the Postimage. Working as usual.

still there.




Might be related to the recent server/hacking problems that have hit the internet the last few days. Packets are still being re-routed all over the place to avoid the DDoS affected servers. Not every website or program is being affected and worse in some parts of the country. I thought they had it fixed as of yesterday tho.

Might be time to run windows defender in full scan. Or what ever anti virus software you may have. I did use AVG and decided to kick it out. There was always a problem with the computer and AVG was always up dating and wanting you to pay for the AVG package. Any I have windows 10 and defender works well for me.

Are you using a phone/tablet or a PC? What browser? My fingers are too big (clumsy) to use anythign other than a PC.

Lenovo Laptop. Chrome Version 53.0.2785.143 m. This one's still running W7. Everything's updated and several different AV/spyware/adware programs (incl Win Defender) SuperAntispyware and subscriptioned Kapersky AV run with nothing found.


(The problem is still persistent)

It's no big thing dun--I can work around it--just find it odd.
