    Responding to an existing thread doesn't work

    I just tried to respond to one of the posts under this thread:
    https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....sion-of-values
    by clicking on "Reply with quote".

    When I clicked on that, a number of dots started to spin in there in the form of a circle, and the spinning continued for ever.
    I had to close the window, open a new window and try again.
    The same result: spinning for ever.

    I tried on other threads.
    Same result: spinning for ever.

    I tried to click on the "Reply To The Thread" on the top of the screen, or the other one on the bottom of the screen.
    Same result: spinning for ever.

    Looks like "Post New Thread" works fine.
    But, replying to an existing thread doesn't work.

    I think something is wrong.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Try double-clicking "Reply with Quote", that works for me.

    Ohhh, sure enough, double-clicking works. Good to know.

    Ah well.... i'm sitting behind a firewall (Company-Network), so no idea

    Might be, that our FW filters the GTM-thingies Olaf mentioned in that other thread

    Works for me every time (in Firefox at least, haven't tested any other browsers). But there's so much going wrong with the site right now, who knows.
