Joeuser posting issues I just can’t understand

Published on March 14, 2011 By CharlesCS In Forum Issues

I could use some help here from the wonderful “coding pigeons” (having seen that screen in long time now that I think about it) of Joeuser, or answers if possible. I’ve been posting on JU for many years now and have always noticed these “problems” but never bothered to ask till now. I use Firefox (version 3 and 4) and every time I post something or make changes the screen always does some “weird” I would think it shouldn’t based on other websites I also visit (some from Stardock as well).

When I post a comment on any article I never get any of the options on my post like Edit, Quote and Blacklist (see image).

But if I want to edit the comment for what ever reason, I have to refresh the screen in order to see the edit options:

Ironically, once I do the editing and post again, this is what I get:

A blank post which requires me to refresh yet again in order to view my changes. Is this normal or does this happen because of Firefox. To be honest I have not tested it with IE but will post the results in the comment section. Please assist with this, it’s not a real big deal but it’s somewhat annoying to have to be clicking extra times when unnecessary. Thank you.

I think I understand the problem. Fixing it may be a while though as there is a lot on my plate at the moment.

Better slow and good than fast and half assed. Thanks for taking it up.

I'm glad someone is looking into it. Quality over quantity, it's the best way to do things. Thank you.

These are only available on www.joeuser.com when commenting on articles.

They are actually there when you access the articles from the main page as oppose to the forums. The forums, although having every article found on the main page, has a different format that the main joeuser page. Joeuser.com is basically a blog, joeuser.com forums are the same but separate with it's own format.

Joeuser.com is basically a blog, joeuser.com forums are the same but separate with it's own format.

I will add that the Joeuser Forums are basically Stardock forums, Most of the forums articles from all the sites (Wincustomize, Gal2Civ, Impulse, etc.) are in there.

On the JoeUser side, it prevents the person from commenting on articles you write.

thanks, kind of interesting. I think we can do that from here (WC forums) just not so easy.
