Problem with Firefox 1.0PR Browser and Vbulletin

[WizarDru]

Just to make you aware, there appears to be an issue with the WYSIWYG editor functionality and Vbulletin. I'm looking into a workaround for those so inclined.

This is not necessarily a problem with Firefox, it is most certainly a problem with vBulletin's coders assuming everyone use Internet Explorer. It is not Linux fault you cannot run Microsoft Word on it is it?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you the exact source of the problem. I do know that Firefox 0.93 worked for me, and 1.0PR does not. Offhand, it sounds like both were coded with expectations that turned out to be incorrect....but I'm more interested in finding a way to make the 1.0PR client work with VBulletin's WYSIWYG feature, 'cuz I've come to love it so.

Cut the snarky comments Psi - they aren't appreciated.

Firefox is in beta. The editor is tested and runs properly on IE, NS, Safari and Opera. The problem is in Firefox, and again Firefox is still in beta.

Just out of curiosity, is there a particular setting that's needed to get the WYSIWYG editor working in Opera? I keep getting the Extended editor instead. (I just checked and the WYSIWYG Editor does load and work on IE on the same machine.)

I use Firefox, and it works like a charm here

Likewise. I'm using 0.9.3, and the only wrinkle I notice is that the mouseover thread previews are limited to one line, rather than several.

Ditto that

No one was questioning that 0.93 works. This is about 1.0PR.

Until Mozilla declares the browser final neither I nor Jelsoft will work towards a fix because any work we do might be invalidated when they take it up to 1.1. That said, if there are still issues in the final release I'll see what I can do - Vbulletin queries the browser for it's type and makes slight modifications to the page for each browser. That means the page you get on IE is actually different from Firefox or NS in one or more ways.
