On the typing issue, it happens to me frequently. It happens when I quote or not quote, using the quick reply/regular posting - not advanced.
I'm on an HP laptop using Vista the newest version of Firefox. It is random & does not happen all the time. It does not happen to me anywhere else.

The above link is where I had that typing issue today. I was quoting a post.
Tried quoting every single post on that thread (and the last 3 pages of this one too) in both Chrome and Firefox on both Windows and MacOS and couldn't recreate it which makes fixing it tough as anything I do is just a shot in the dark which I can't then confirm if it's fixed it.

A couple more questions. Do you have any browser plugins installed and if so what? Also if you click settings at the top of the site and then in the sidebar click general settings what is your editor set as.

. There are about 6 of them. <-----well, it just happened again. It seems to happen when I click the back button to correct spelling or add something.
It says enhanced interface. I'll have to check on the plugins

None. That's the weird thing about it. I click on upload, and - nothing happens.

Just tried again and it worked fine (although the image I uploaded was rotated in the thumbnail creation)

Try clearing your safari website data (Settings -> Safari -> clear history and website data) as it sounds like it may be a corrupted cache

Why does it say ACCESS DENIED when we post a link?

A little while back something was changed on the backend so when we post links they give us a website's title text (this is what you'd see at the top of your browser's tab, if you're on a computer) as the link text instead of the visible URL (what shows up in the browser's address bar). And once in a blue moon, that's what happens. (I think it's happened only a couple of times on here.)

You can always edit your post and change the text portion (this is if you're not using the WYSIWYG/Enhanced editor):

[ url="this is the website address" ]this is the text you'd want to change[ /url ] (no spaces, of course.)

Could you try changing your editor to the standard one for a few days. It won't format your replies in the box as you edit them but it might help me track down where the issue is happening

If it happens again can you screenshot the page showing the error and upload it here please. (On windows search for an application called Snipping Tool to capture and save your screenshot.Its a built in tool in vista and later)

It still did it intermittently like before. It mostly does it in a quoted reply & when I hit the back button to correct a spelling error.
Wait how are you clicking the back button to fix spelling errors? You said you were using quick reply which would actually take you away from the thread you were posting on. Are you sure you are using quick reply?
