I put a cursor in the box and it types but won’t send. Also, the text below the box doesn’t show up either.

Are you using Firefox? If so, do this.

Look for TOOLS on the top of Firefox window. Go to CLEAR PRIVATE DATA, check everything off then CLEAR PRIVATE DATA NOW. You’ll have to log on to Fluther again. Let me know.

You can thank Mr_M.

Last night, I downloaded Internet Explorer 8 onto my computer and after installing it, I went to Fluther and it behaved exactly like your described in your question’s details, DREW R. I had IE 7 before this and used it to visit Fluther without any problems.

After much searching around and experimenting, I saw a button at the top of the screen next to the Refresh and Stop buttons (and this appears to be a new addition to IE 8). Anyway, I clicked on it and it said it makes some websites compatible with different browsers (or something to that effect) and Fluther went back to working just fine after I selected that button.

@Bluefreedom I just had to do that on Mom’s computer. Weird.

@Ivan It is all this system works with. Was bought with a scam business thru Startup Essentials and A-1 Leasing. Something stops all other browsers from working on here.
