"Post Reply" doesn't have a full-feature editor anymore.

[NeuroticPixels]

Why don't mod comment pages have the full editor any more? I've tried checking my account settings and using the "Switch Editor Mode" button, but can't seem to get all the buttons back.It used to be like the forums. Like this:


Now, it's like this:

If you look in your java script console is there anything being blocked from loading?

Nothing has changed code wise so possibly something is blocking our script from loading? A few other people have mentioned this happens to them but not all the time either.

If you follow this URL do you see any javascript? https://cdn-eso.mmoui.com/clientscri...it.js?v=3612.7

(I'm using Microsoft Edge browser.) I tried "InPrivate" mode, with no browser extensions, and I tried "Internet Explorer Mode". Neither solved the problem.
This is what the console shows me:


It seems it might be related? I'm not sure. Any ideas?

[Dolby]

Hmm that is likely the cause or the result of the js not loading properly? I loaded the site up in the latest edge from win10 and do not get these errors. Very strange.

Can you think of any windows apps you might be running that interact with webpages?

[NeuroticPixels]

I wouldn't think so. It's a pretty new PC.
I have ESO, COD, Battle.net Launcher, Steam, Razer Synapse, iTunes, Nvidia GEForce Experience, Discord, and Notepad++ installed. That's pretty much it.

I also have off Windows Defender and the firewall, and all that.


Is Java and Javascript the same thing, or related? Because this PC doesn't have Java installed.
Should I go install it from Java | Oracle?

[Dolby]

Javascript for websites is rendered by the browser. Different than java.

I'll continue to try and find something to reproduce it so I can try and fix it. I have pretty much the same things installed but windows defender & firewall is on.

[NeuroticPixels]

I also cleared out all of my cookies and browsing history and all of that browsing data stuff. I checked my browser's "site permissions" and javascript is allowed. I even tried a comment page with "use hardware acceleration" on and off. No difference. And I disabled any security options in the browser's settings. No change.

I'm stumped.

I just saw your edit of this. I don't know what I'm looking for. It's just a wall of text/code.

[Baertram]

I'm also using Edge and tried Firefox and Chrome, all browsers render the buttons well.
If I'm able to help here somehow, I'm up for it.

Are you using Windows 11 already NeuroticPixels?
Other usres reporting the missing buttons used Windows 7 afaik.
I'm using Win10.

Maybe it's Windows dependent, any update that Windows did and installed (or not installed on Win11 and Win7).

I'm having the same issue on Windows 11 22H2 with Firefox 108.0.1. I just did a bit of digging and it seems to be a server side issue.
When I compare the source coming from the server for a forum editor and a comment editor, the html elements for the editor buttons in questions are completely missing:

I also noticed that vBulletin is disabling the javascript console in vbulletin_global.js on line 1, unless console.firebug is set. Since firebug no longer exists, this means nobody will ever see any errors in case there are some. Not that there are any in this case.

Sirinsidiator’s post sounds interesting!

[Dolby]

Yeah its certainly looks server side. I see the template vbulletin uses and the ones missing are wrapped in conditionals but when I trace down the variables on those conditionals they should be true for you guys. I went and just removed the conditionals so those template items display always no matter what editor you have selected. Let me know if the buttons show for you now?

[NeuroticPixels]

Buttons are back for me!

[sirinsidiator]

Works better, but I'm still missing the font options in the first row.

[NeuroticPixels]

Ah, yes. I have the same issue, I think.
I have the font options, but the actual dropdown menu gets mostly hidden after I click my mouse in the message box to start typing. After I interact with the message box, it gets mostly hidden, but I can still interact with the drop-down arrow to select fonts.
I hope that makes sense.

Before interaction with message box:

After clicking to get ready to type:
