Users of Firefox 3.6 have experienced problems using the rich text editor in Invision Power Board 2.3.6. This is not a security issue but simply a feature usability problem.

IMPORTANT: This issue does NOT impact the IP.Board 3 series and those on the IP.Board 3 versions can safely ignore this message.


Administrators of a 2.3.6 installation can choose one of the following options to resolve the issue:

• Instruct members to simply switch to the basic text editor in 2.3.6
  
• Upgrade to latest version of IP.Board 3
  
• Download the patch file attached to this announcement, unzip, and upload to: /jscripts

[This patch has been superseded; please see the post below for the latest update]

We have received reports that Firefox 3.6.3 has broken the patch we issued on Feb 10th. To remedy this, we have developed a new patch which should once again fix the RTE in IP.Board 2.3.6.

IMPORTANT: This issue does NOT impact the IP.Board 3 series and those on the IP.Board 3 versions can safely ignore this message.

Instructions
To apply the patch, download the attached zip file, unzip, and upload the file inside to /jscripts/

Note: if you applied the previous patch, you should still apply this one.
