Any, basically if someone has posted a new thread and not got a reply yet, it wont let me reply to it.

a link would help us know what you're talking about...

That's the message you get when you try to reply to a thread in 'Cannabis Want Ads'. It's by design. Look at the first thread in that forum

del there isnt a specific link you can go to, that isnt the problem
If someone has posted a thread, which no one has replied to yet, making me the first poster (after the person who made the thread) then it won't let me be the first person to post on that thread, and i get the message above. Does that make sense? There's no other way i can explain it...

like i already said (others too)...some rooms are designed for starting a thread without replies...like the want ads room for those in need to post their addy so providers can contact them OFF of the boards, which is the idea behind not allowing replies in those rooms as it is not open for discussion here in public.
now if you would just post a link to the room where this problem is giving you fits i could verify it for you...otherwise you'll just have to settle with, "the boards are working as they have been designed to work".

It likely is a Windows / Mac (and/or browser? -ie. if using Safari) issue ... vBulletin is developed and tested by mostly Windows-based folks; optimized for MSIE.

With that said ... here are two things to try...

* Instead of using the Quick Reply window at the bottom, click "Go Advanced" and then enter your reply.

--- if no good, then try...

* Click on the "Quote" button of the message you're replying to, delete out all the quoted text if so desired, and then enter your reply.

One of the above approaches may work.

I've tried the 'go advanced' link and no luck, but sometimes 'quote' seems to work, i'll keep trying that for now,
