As of this morning, when I open a forum on FT with FireFox, it doesn't display the buttons to post or reply to a thread.
I'm posting this using Chrome.

I've seen it both on United and Coupon Connection. Just tried the simple cache clear, and that doesn't seem to help.
I do have a number of FF add ons installed, and that might be an issue, but I've had the same add ons for a couple years, and FT has worked fine for me.

Phil, when the issue occurs in firefox, can you try opening an "Incognito Mode" window and seeing if the issue replicates?
When the issue occurs, are you able to retrieve the REPLY image directly?

Yes, and I think you get the Sherlock Holmes award. If I disable Ghostery, FT displays the buttons. When I re-enable Ghostery, the buttons disappear again.

So I did a FF "Reset" (under Help -> Trouble shooting) and reinstalled Ghostery & other plug ins I've been running, and now FlyterTalk is operating normally for me.
Go figgur.

I'm not sure why this wasn't a problem until last week. Maybe they changed how the buttons were served?

Any, not sure if my earlier post was clear, but the Firefox reset did solve the problem, and made FF zippy again (it had gotten somewhat sluggish). I did have to reinstall plugins, but it does retain usernames/passwords and the like.

In my case, I'm using Safari on a Mac. It was clearly a problem with Ghostery blocking InternetBrands. The question is, why did it suddenly start a week (or two, now) ago? Either something changed with the FT board code, or Ghostery automatically updated its blocking list. Aha! I see that I have the "Enable bug list auto-updating" setting checked. That could very well be what happened.
I'd be curious whether your Ghostery (if you're still running it) re-adds InternetBrands to its block list, assuming that the reset/reinstall caused a revert to a list prior to that addition. If so, then at least you shouldn't have to do a full reset again (though it sounds like it was worth doing it once).
