I have a problem trying to reply to a comment anyone has left on my images. When I click on the reply button, very briefly I can see the page where I could post my reply then it just goes to “my art’ page – where no reply can be posted.
I can leave a comment under theirs but I can’t put a reply in as the page flips over very fast.
Any ideas anyone ? or am I doing something wrong?

What browser are you using?

Is Javascript turned off?

Faizan – I am really embarrased to say I don’t know – is Internet Explorer my browser?
how do I turn off Javascript – is that what I need to do?

No, you need to ensure it is turned on.

In IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level -> and check the status of the various options under “scripting”

Thanks Martin – I found the scripting – and it said the Java applet was on. The one that was disabled was ‘allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows.’
is that ok to have that disabled or could that be the problem – I hate going it all the technical stuff – don’t know anything about it and concerned I will do something wrong and cause huge stuffup or meltdown lol. Would changing the scripted windows thing allow someone to get into the computer and get info ?
Thanks for your help.

Can anyone help with this. I have checked my laptop and i am able to reply to comments on it, however it is slow and fiddly – desktop is much, much easier – if it worked. Laptop is running XP and I tried to check it against the setting on desktop in
“Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level -> and check the status of the various options under “scripting””. as Martin suggested.
But desktop is running Vista – Laptop XP so wording and setting s are not the same.
Can anyone hepl with this annoying problem, please?

Sorry, I can’t help but if it’s any consolation I have the same problem. I’m on Vista and can’t reply when using IE. I have to use firefox instead…

Che – perhaps its a compatability problem with Vista – perhaps RedBubble can look into it for us. I would like to be able to reply to comments easily.

I had problems when using Internet Explorer, and after reading comments that there were “no probs with firefox” I downloaded it – I have to say I wish I’d done it sooner….. everything looks so much, well, better AND it cut out any probs I had before…..
Bonus – IT’S FREE! lol

Yeah, firefox is a million times better than internet explorer! Specially so if you’re talking about IE7 – what sort of idiot would design a web browser without a stop button???!!!

I don’t see why anyone would use internet explorer if they knew about firefox. (Although, i do admit to using both ie6 and ie7 myself – but only for testing web page designs on…)

And firefox 3 is out now – the beta version. But even the beta is better than IE! And FF3 is even better than FF2.

Inishiata, you wouldn’t happen to have Mcafee installed on your computer would you?
I had a trial version installed on my PC. As soon as I removed it the problem disappeared…

When there was a bug here awhile ago I couldn’t use IE, and downloaded firefox, which worked, but am back to using IE, and it’s fine.

Che – yes I do have Mcafee installed – and I don’t like it much – blocks so much when I am trying to browse on net.
