A user has reported that the comment box now looks like a large grey box with an open book icon in the centre. She cannot enter text. Clicking on the book icon, she says "a page comes up with a pen in the bottom right corner. When I click on it the cursor appears and I can type a message. "

She has cleared browser history and cache to no effect.
I attach a screen shot she's sent...

I will ask for more details on her system etc., but this has happened since the Redis update that @brian added for us, so I assume it's to do with the TinyMCE editor upgrade.

This is correct - this is the new mobile enabled editor in Jamroom Core 6.1.6. Your users will see this is they are using a mobile device or a table with a small resolution.

OK, I had an email notification to say that this forum post has been updated, but the comment is not here.

I understand that this grey box thing is the new mobile enabled text editor. Was not expecting that!

I have just used my iphone to put a comment on a group discussion and though it seemed to be sent, the comment has not appeared on the discussion (rather like the forum update).

Seems to be a fault there somewhere?

Your comment has now appeared. A bit of a lag.
My group discussion comment still isn't on the discussion.

The comment is here - it's just you're not seeing due to caching. I'm looking into it - I believe I know what the root cause is and it comes down to needing to reset the forum view cache for users that are involved in a thread when a new post is added to a thread.

It sounds like the same caching issue. There have been some low level changes in caching recently as we update modules to try and be more "targeted" towards cache resets - as a system gets busier it becomes costlier and costlier to simply reset an entire profiles cache every time an item is updated. I think we're seeing the effect of that here, but I have to do some testing to be sure.

Um, it might just be that I didn't post it correctly. I thought clicking the tick/check symbol posted the comment, but I now think you also need to return to the discussion and then post the comment you've just typed in? I have asked for clarification on the Redis support ticket. Sorry to be having this conversation in two different places. You can ignore the ticket query if you prefer.

Correct - you have to click the checkbox to get back to the form (since there may be additional elements in the form that need to be handled) - then submit the form like normal.

I've raised a support ticket because several iPad users have reported that they're not seeing the pen symbol after clicking the book icon. They just get a white screen and have to reload the page.
