Hi mates,

I have a website where we are using your lovely forum. We are currently facing with a new problem which we couldn't figure out and would like to ask you experts. This happened after updating the forum to the latest version.
The forum works perfectly with Firefox but not IE. Some of our users are using IE and the problem that I will describe below only occurs with IE.
When you click to the "New Topic", new_topic_form.asp is called with a success. However, the only problem is the text box where you are supposed to write your message is not appearing.
I have a screenshot so that you guys can understand the issue better.

I would appreciate any help.

Edition: Free Express Edition
Running Version: 10.11

I suspect that the issue is due to a modification to your forum.

More than likely it is an error in the translated language files which is causing tewxt used within the JavaScript for the Editor to fail in IE.

To know if this is the case, go back to the original language files and see if the issue is solved, if it is then you would need to have a look at any JavaScript error messages from IE to narrow down the part causing the error.

Yes it was indeed because of the translation. Problem solved. Thanks again.
