I can't post in yahoo groups? - J M - 04-14-2014 07:11 PM
The text area to reply to a post in any of my groups is not letting me do anything. The field is dead. I can type in the title area, but not in the main body field. No curser appears, no text appears. It's like a grayed out thing.
Yahoo support.... argh. THREE rounds, and several days before they finally say they are looking into it.
I thought perhaps someone here might be more on top of it than their own help.
(At least yahoo has help. Even if I have to go several rounds of BS before someone reads the problem.)
Before anyone gives me the obvious.
DO NOT tell me to clear cookies, cache, install a new browser, buy a new computer or spin counter clockwise in a south bound wind.
I already clear cache on a daily basis. Cookies I DO NOT want to clear.
I tried on two computers. An old macbook pro, AND a brand spanking new imac. (not even two weeks old.) It would not have a cookie issue. OR cache. BOTH do the same thing. I simply cannot type anything in the text field.
And yes, I am a member of many groups. Long time now. So not an issue of not being allowed, or accepted or anything like that. They worked fine for a long time.
I have not posted in any group in many months but I do get weekly updates from group moderators or what ever in my email. Just a short email. It was when I recently tried to look into more details about a post when this came to light.
I seriously doubt this is just a mac thing. Macs aren't the odd ball systems they once were.
Perhaps because I never set up a "profile???" Never had to before and DO NOT WANT TO!
I just want to read and reply to the occasional thread in a group. And if this is the issue, WHY then am I not prompted thusly?
I DO NOT USE FACEBOOK.
OR GOOGLE anything. Neither one has any form of support what so ever and I want nothing to do with them. So if logging in with either is the issue, then I'll just forget about ever using yahoo groups again.
Anyone want to take a stab at this one?
Hope this is allowed, but if you care to ask me further questions, I can be found.

thanks in advance. hope someone has a clue here.
Did I not say DO NOT tell me about clearing things? Thanks for NOT reading my question.
I know how to clear cookies. This happened on a BRAND NEW computer. So cookies could not be the problem.
I figured this out. Adblock was preventing the text field from working. It doesn't do that with any other site. I use text fields all day. But it does on yahoo. So fine. If I want to use groups I have to pause adblock

It's an issue with your Ad Block
