replies.. like:

<pre>

<p>could be interesting if it works out:</p>

<p> </p>

<p>later</p>

<p>-1</p></pre>

it might be a security risk. i'm not sure..

i know HTML, so i can fix my posts.

not sure if anyone else has this issue.

I have had this 'issue'. And you're right.

Edit: Not the issue I was thinking of...I feel soo silly.

You mean you see the HTML in the finished post? Or you see it in the editor?

this is what happens..

sometimes i post a reply.

and i see the HTML in the editor,

and it stays that way.

other times, i see a flash of the HTML code,

and then it gets rendered correctly.

i am using the latest version of CHROME at this

time. i haven't tried it in IE (usually use 7/8). don't

have firefox or opera.

Are you familiar with Chrome dev tools? If so, the next time the editor fails to load, check the main HTML element at the top of the element inspector and see if it has a class of "js". I need to determine if the problem is confined to the editor or if all JavaScript is failing when you see this problem. Thanks.

thanks,

i will try it out when it happens again, and

let you know how it goes.

Me too.  Firefox just started doing it today.

Please clear your cache and let me know if it's still happening. I had to implement a JS fix yesterday to secure the forum against this issue, and anyone pulling a cached JS file will see HTML in their posts after they submit. Editing the post and resubmitting should fix it once your cache is cleared. I tested it in FF after clearing my cache and it's fine.

EDIT: That worked

Yes, clearing the cache worked for me too.  Then all I had to do to fix my couple of earlier posts was go into "advanced edit", and just make one modification (such as a carriage return).

yes, this seems to be working now.

thanks for looking into it.

there are still some posters out there

that don't know about it, but hopefully

they will see the notices.
