As title really. Can't post a reply into an existing thread. No idea why, using Chrome as usual, no change on my end.
Problem occurs when trying to type into the text box, no textbox to type into, or at least the browser thinks there isn't.
Obligatory thanks for the forum "upgrade" here, great work guys. Love it...
Anyone else been able to sort this please?

Are you trying to type in the right place? The reply box is at the bottom of the page, you don't need to click on anything beforehand.
If you're quoting you put the cursor underneath the quote box like this....
The thread you're trying to reply to, has it been locked?
Some people only exist as examples of what to avoid....3 -

I don't know what changed in the couple of days since I posted this, but it is working now - previously this text box I'm typing in wouldn't accept my clicks and thus no blinking cursor or text would appear.
Tonight, presto - all working as intended. Brill.
**EDIT
@ joansgirl - Indeed, the layout is pretty intuitive in that I could easily figure out where my text ought to be - and yes you're right if I'd typed directly within the quote box, my reply would appear as part of the text I was quoting - I did actually consider doing this at one point and just apologising within my text for the poor quote-practice...:p
