TNTOS Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Today, whenever I try to post or make a new topic, the box that I type the content in is extremely tiny, even though it is normally fairly large.Not only that, but I am also incapable of accessing the different fonts, emoticons, or any of the normal features I can use. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?-TNTOS- "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore RooseveltA Writerly BlogThe Tasty Library of Sugary Goodness(My Little BIONICLE: Friendship is Explosive Completed 01/05/14){The Shika Trilogy Omnibus Completed 03/31/14) (Review Topic)(In the End Completed 09/01/14) (Review Topic)The Biological Chronicle: (2001) (2002) (2003) (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) (2008) (2009) (2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) You mean that none of the buttons appear? From my experience, that happens when you already have the post editor opened in another tab or window. Closing that one should fix the problem (or, if you cannot find it in your jungle of tabs, simply restart the browser ).~Gata.

a goose Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Are you working from your computer?If you aren't, don't worry, that's natural, but if you are it's a glitch which should be resolved if you restart your computer (I've had the same problem, and it works for me).I hope this helps! - Paradoxophobia [BZPRPG PROFILES] Nikarra - Kaelynn - Ronan - Muir - Donal - Aerus - Montague - Kira - Koura - Learu - Alteora - Fuacht - Caana - Nessen - Merrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've had a similar problem where done of the buttons appeared, but simply restarting the browser and sometimes even just reloading the page will fix it.What type of computer are you using?

WriterofReapers Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but I'll throw this out there anyway.See the button that I've circled? It's possible that you clicked it, turning off all of the handy editing tools. Clicking it again would turn them back on.Like I said, probably not going to be the answer... ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velox Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If you're saying what I think you are, then I've also encountered this problem -- try clearing your cache, as that has always worked for me.

Clicking the switch again un-greys them.Like Velox (now Cerberus) said, try emptying your cache. It seems to be a general fix-all (at least in most cases) when things aren't loading on BZP.

Velox is probably right, though. ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTOS Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm not sure what I did, but everything is working normally now. The content box and buttons are working again, so I guess it must have just been a temporary glitch or something.Thanks for all of the suggestions, though. Y'all are really helpful .-TNTOS- "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
