"Post reply" has just stopped showing previous posts?


Hello

IIRC after clicking "Post reply", the previous posts in the thread were shown in descending time order, facilitating browsing them when replying. Some time recently that behaviour changed and "Post reply" no longer shows the previous posts ... ?

Best

Charles

Hi.

All three previous posts were displayed while I composed this reply, although the 2 that I posted directly together were combined into one ... cheers, makyo

I'm not able to reproduce this (and we haven't made any related changes on our end). Is this happening to any other members? If you view source, do you see the content as expected there?

The source includes "I'm not able to reproduce this (and we haven't made any related changes on our end). Is this happening to any other members? If you view source, do you see the content as expected there?" and it works normally in Opera (sorry for not trying that earlier) so it's a problem with my Firefox, not with LQ.
