We have a self-hosted version of NodeBB 1.15.0. We use Redactor when users post, because our core audience are not the kind of folks who generally would "get" using markup.
Over the last several weeks (and this does seem to have come up long after we upgraded to 1.15.0) users have been complaining that they cannot reply, as you can see in this thread on our forum
Is this a known bug in 1.15.0? Does the latest version address this issue?
Thanks in Advance for Any Info,
Mark
Howdy.
We're self-hosting NodeBB v1.15.0. (We upgraded to that version a few months ago.) I've noticed that when replying to posts and typing @... where I enter a few letters of the users handle, it no longer offers a popup menu to let you choose the correct person.
Was that feature removed from NodeBB, or did it stop working?
If it's a bug, will it come back?
Or could it be something about our configuration?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best Wishes,
Mark
bump? has anyone taken note of this?
Workaround/clue to the problem: If you click the "file upload" button and enter text where it says "name (optional)" then the link will appear.
Dear @julian
I created a fresh trial NodeBB on NodeBB.org, installed v1.8.1.
When I tried uploading files non-picture files with the normal composer, everything worked fine.
When I tried doing it with Redactor enabled, it has the same behavior as our site. The upload progress bar at the top temporarily appears, but no upload appears in Redactor.
So this issue does not seem to be specific to our site.

In NodeBB 1.8.2 we can no longer upload any file types except pictures.
Please note that we are using the Redactor Composer for entering text.
We have the following file types enabled:
Uploading jpg and png files work fine. But when I try .zip, .izz, .pdf the upload indicator at the top of the window briefly shows up, but no file is deposited there.
In previous versions of NodeBB, uploading these kinds of files worked fine with Redactor.
I tried deleting all the file types, saving the settings, and entering them again, but to no avail.
Does anyone have ideas on this for me?
Is there some way to temporary disable Redactor (without uninstalling it) so I can try with the normal composer?
@julian - could you possibly try uploading files with Redactor to see if you see the problem also?

Is there any news on this issue? We'd really like to have a fix.

@pitaj said in [1.8.1] Serious Bug: Can't Reply in Numerous Browsers and OS'es:
Have you tried running ./nodebb build and restarting?
Yes, we tried that. We also installed the v1.8.2 update and it did not solve the problem.
We've just upgraded to v1.8.1 and the users on my forum are experiencing numerous problems. One of them seems to happen on numerous browsers and operating systems.
I have filed a detailed bug report on GitHub, but the issue boils down to this: the position of the toolbar and/or editor when hitting reply is dependent on the length of the thread. If you reply to the first post, things will work OK:
If you reply to the second post, you'll note that the editor window is now starting much higher on the page:
Finally, if you reply to the last post on a long thread you'll see the following and the editor will be unusable. (Or at least seem to be... when you type, you see nothing, but maybe the text is so far above the viewable area you can't see it.)
As you can see in the user discussion here:
This is affecting a number of users on numerous browsers. Clearing the cache does not improve the issue.
