Problems with Firefox and DVDtalk?
This morning I was surfing the site fine on Firefox, but over lunch when I would open a thread the browser would freeze up. I tried force quiting and relaunching several times, always with the same results.
It's working fine with Safari.

Check your plug-ins. I was doing fine for a few days, then suddenly one of the plug-ins I was using decided that it didn't like the buttons to post a reply or start a new thread and wouldn't display them or even allow me to click on the area where they were supposed to be.

Can you be more specific about what plug-in would cause this? I don't see buttons for quoting, editing, new threads, etc. and I don't see what add-on I'm using that it could be coming from. Thanks.

Then you can check off "disable on forum.dvdtalk.com." It will then disable it for all forums on DVDTalk (you'll see the icon turn green), but it will remain enabled for all of your other sites.
Your fix works for me.
