Am I the only one having this problem with AW?

Libbie · Oct 27, 2009

Anything on AW that pulls up a little menu box isn't working for me. I can't get the text color box to show anything other than black and brown squares (as if the entire text option box refuses to load) and I can't pull up the rep comment box, either.

Is it just me? If so, what can I do to fix this? I've already tried rebooting. Didn't work.

Twenty Questions time: When did this problem start? What's your OS and browser? Have you cleared your cache and cookies? Are your Flash and Java up-to-date?

AW doesn't use Flash. Flash is evil.

I'd look at Javascript and your security settings.

And yes, clear your cache and your cookies (the cookie stores a "yes Javascript is on" statement, sort of), Quit the browser and log back in.

And as CaoPaux asks, what browser and OS?

The problem started yesterday. Browser is Firefox, OS is Windows XP. As far as I know, Flash and Java are up to date. I know I updated Flash about a month ago. I have no idea how to clear my cache and cookies, so I guess the answer there is no! I'll see if I can figure out how to do it. Thanks for your help, guys!

Edit: Hey, it worked! Thanks Medievalist and CaoPaux!

Java is irrelevant. Flash is evil. All that matters is Firefox settings -- javascript permitted -- and clean new cookies.

Am I the only one having this problem with AW?
